Using free assets is frowned upon by many, but I really appreciate how you used them to not spend too much time on the technical side of things and create (head)space for yourself to make something unique. The headbanging cows are brilliant! The rhythm game is lacking input feedback and sometimes the tracks were a bit too long. But overall a unique experience. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback, very helpful and encouraging. Yeah - people often frown upon the use of assets and honestly, if you are just flipping them then sure there is no creativity to be admired. But those of us who accept we are good at some things and not at others do far better when we complement our strengths with those of others (you really don’t want to see my artwork, but my code is good enough to share).
I enjoyed doing the cows a great deal. I’m thinking an iteration on this might be to make them dance with IK, the better you play the song the better they dance. I’ve not learned IK properly yet so that would be a good challenge.
Totally agree with respect to feedback (it would be easy for me to add a pop and jiggle for hit and miss - and sits within my art skills). Also agree on the song length. I actually intended to have it so the song ended when all the cows in each herd had been attracted, but sadly ran out of time.
