A Cinematic Rhythm Experience for Music Lovers
Built with Unity (HDRP) — Windows

Rhythm Walker is a precision-based rhythm game where players use the mouse cursor to trace lyric words as they appear on screen (maximum 4 words visible at once). Correct and timely traces build streaks and multipliers; missed or out-of-order words reduce score. The game pairs tight gameplay with cinematic visuals — HDR lighting, dynamic cameras, and polished animations — to deliver an immersive, music-first experience.

• 🎼 Sequential Word Tracing — Trace lyrics in the exact order they appear.
• 🔁 Streak & Multiplier System — Chain accurate traces for higher multipliers.
• 🌌 HDRP Visuals — High-fidelity lighting, skyboxes and post-processing.
• 🎥 Cinematic Direction — Camera sequencing, character animations, and lighting are driven by data for director-style control.
• 🎶 Multilingual Support — Currently ships with 4 songs (2 English, 2 Hindi); any language is supported via lyric files.

1. Open project in Unity (use the same Unity version used to author the project).

2. Assets, Packages, and ProjectSettings are the only folders tracked in this repo (large assets are stored externally — see below).

3. To add a song:

   • Add your lyrics JSON to Assets/Lyrics/.
   • Add cinematic assets (models/skyboxes/animations) to Assets/Resources/.
   • Add a new entry in Assets/Resources/song_config.json and play.

Large binary assets (HDRI .exr, large .fbx, etc.) are intentionally not included in this repository.
They are tracked separately to keep the repo lean.

🔗 Download large assets here:
Google Drive Folder

• A file LargeAssetsList.txt (committed) contains file paths of ignored large files (if present).
• To upload large files, consider a shared cloud (Drive/Dropbox) and add download links to the README or LargeAssetsList.txt.

PowerShell snippet to regenerate the list locally:

Get-ChildItem -Path "Assets" -Recurse |
  Where-Object { $_.Length -gt 50MB } |
  ForEach-Object { $_.FullName } |
  Set-Content "LargeAssetsList.txt"

• Want to add a feature? Send a PR and describe the design in the PR description.
• If you add new resources, list them in Assets/Resources and reference them in song_config.json.

This project is made for learning purposes. The assets are thanks to mixamo.org and other such sites.
