Flock Step
It's amazing to see so many birds migrating together. Of course, to avoid stepping on each others' toes, they'll need good rhythm...
This game features a large flock of migrating Huebirds of Happiness stepping in rhythm. The player controls a pink one in-between a group of three other birds. When the birds squawk, all the Huebirds squat down and subsequently jump in time with each other.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player steps and jumps in time with the others.
Early!/Late!?: The player steps or jumps off the beat.
Miss...?: The player bumps into the neighboring bird, looking surprised while the other bird looks annoyed. This may switch the footing pattern if the player continues without anymore breaks.

Your footwork needs work. Are you ethically opposed to jumping? Did you get tired at the end?
Your footwork needs more work. Did you have your wings clipped? Did you get tired at the end?
Eh. Good enough.
Good try.
Great synchronized footwork! Nice jump flaps! You really stuck it out to the end.
You marched in time well. You flapped well! You did well right at the end.

In Rhythm Heaven Fever, upon points when birds need to take a step, if is being held, pressing makes player's bird crouch and make a surprised face as when + were pressed together at that point. This however, if is pressed at a precise timing as required in a Perfect Campaign, doesn't count as a miss nor fails the Perfect Campaign.
