Incredibly fun game, I could play this for hours. Felt incredibly polished and the art style was really cool too.

Mootilda my MVP, truly the most boot scootin' cow you ever seen

Super cute! All rhythm games need more cowbell.

Was really worried that it was a 2 player game only until i looked at the page (very risky assumption that gamers have friends)

This game is annoyingly polished and looks amazing, the art style is insane (Even though 90 percent of the time my attention was on the box with the arrow) and it also plays great as well. Cowboy Kino.

Absolutely owned Dottie in the hoe down, get wrecked.
