When all players are dead or have reached the end line, the points are then divided and the party box appears again. In this mode, at the start of each round, a party box appears where players can choose obstacles from. There are 4 different game modes: free play, creative, challenge, and party. You start in the “treehouse” where you can: select a level, change the game rules, change your outfit and change the game mode. Local and online aren’t different play wise. There can be maximum four players but there also needs to be minimum 2 players as this is not a single player game. If obstructions that you or other players placed are too annoying or impossible you can blow them up with a bomb, dynamite or even an atom bomb. When placing these hindrances, you have to be careful not to block your own path but still block the others. Lastly, there are a copious amount of weapons to kill your opponents with, such as a wrecking ball, a saw blade that rotates, a saw blade in a platform, a hockey puck shooter and more. Then there are others that interact with the players or other blocks: ice, honey, barbed wire, gears, and portals. Some are just platforms that do nothing special like: a bale of hay, multiple sizes of wooden planks and more. There are a lot of different ones to choose from. To make sure that you can (preferably alone) make it to the flag, you are provided with obstacles to place. If all players are alive, nobody gets points and if you happen to be the only one to make it to the flag you get bonus points. To be an “ultimate”, you have to gather enough points by making it to the finish flag with at least one player dead. Ultimate Chicken Horse is an action, casual indie game where you play as one of eight animals that try to be their ultimate breed. Without the signal, it could be harder to pinpoint when the hockey pucks will be fired when you can’t see the weapon itself. There is, for example, a weapon that shoots hockey pucks which gives a warning signal before firing. Each obstacle has its own sound effect with a few that are a tad more special as they shoot projectiles. There is no voice acting present in the game or at least no “human” voice acting as the animals do make noises at certain moments, which can be quite funny if you hear a horse neigh while he falls in the deep. All the songs are pretty upbeat and fitting to the charming theme of the game. For example: there is a level with a sphinx and a pyramid which has fitting Egyptian music. Even though the camera workings can be annoying, the other graphics run quite smoothly.Įach level has at least 2 different songs that fit the environment. Certainly, because it gives the person closest to the finish an ability to tease the other players as he/she can choose not to finish and make it more difficult for the other players. This can be quite annoying when dodging hindrances. When one player is further ahead than the other players the camera is zoomed out greatly. It’s a good thing that the textures from the obstacles aren’t overly complicated as it might give lag spikes if they were. A lot of obstructions can be placed at the same time depending on the level and the number of persons you’re playing with. There are a lot of different obstacles of which each design is a bit more advanced than the other. The animals have a simple design that is a bit more advanced than a stick figure but makes them fit right in with the charming theme. Light pastel-like colors have been used for textures throughout the game and this makes it look almost like a children’s book. The art style of Ultimate Chicken horse looks cartoonish and very adorable. A story could have been used for a better way to unlock levels/characters since you now only unlock those by jumping against a box that randomly gives one of the players a level, character or outfit. Some backstory could have added a bit more sympathy for the animals but isn’t especially necessary. Winning the race makes you the ultimate “animal”. You choose between 8 different animals and try to win the “obstacle” race. Perfect to bring to a family gathering or a party, Ultimate Chicken Horse has everything to become a friendship ruiner plus most importantly a fun game to laugh at with the people you like.Ī story isn’t really present in Ultimate Chicken horse. The game was both developed and published by Clever Endeavour Games and we were lucky enough to give this game a go. Ultimate Chicken Horse is one of these games. Games that make you able to tease your loved ones, often have a friendship ruiner status but they are incredibly fun to play. There is nothing more fun than playing together with your friends and family especially if you can make them have a hard time.
