![]() If you're interested, you can find a small multiplayer demo of the game on the developer's official site. The developer expects that the game will come sometime in 2016. Ultimate Chicken Horse has already been greenlit for release on Steam (PC, Mac, and Linux). One item placement may be a bridge too far, and I'm sure the developer doesn't want to be responsible for ruined relationships. If I were you though, I would not play with loved ones. Which of the characters are available to be used depends on the unlocks of the host of a game. Chicken, Horse, Sheep, and Raccoon are available from the start. They can be unlocked by collecting mystery boxes. It's a great party game, to the point that Clever Endeavour Games is thinking about dropping the planned single-player mode for the time being. There are twelve characters in total: Chicken, Horse, Sheep, Racoon, Chameleon, Squirrel, Bunny, Elephant, Monkey, Snake, Hippo, and Turtle. Ultimate Chicken Horse is the most fun title I played today. I know its not the same thing, but a way to have a 'single player' is to either build your own maps in the free mode, save them and run them yourself, or go through maps loaded into the games Online from other players that have made random maps. Then every item placement is placed for maximum pain they'll put traps in the path of simple jumps or add new obstacles onto perfectly good platforms. Heaven forbid if one player decides that they don't care about winning. That means later rounds are painfully difficult, with arrows, buzzsaws, barbed wire, and other obstacles doing their best to hold you back. Each successive round is more complex, because bits placed on the level in previous rounds remain. So each round, you'll place your chosen piece in a place that will stymie others while theoretically giving you a boost. Sure you can be helpful, but where's the fun in that? I hate you, horse. You want to be the one to reach the finish line, but you also want to do your best to stop everyone else from getting there. The random and competitive nature of Ultimate Chicken Horse is key here. Then everybody does their best to reach the finish line. Players can pick one piece out of the box and place it somewhere on the level before the round starts. This box is full of level pieces, including platforms, stairs, doors, teleporters, and a ton of traps. At the beginning of the match, a randomized Party Box is created. Matches are quick and the loop is very simple. Each player is a very cute animal, either a chicken, a horse, a sheep, or a raccoon. There's only two buttons: jump and dance. Ultimate Chicken Horse is a platformer where you compete against three other players to reach a goal at the end of each stage. I feel fine playing it against complete strangers, but I think my friends and I might come to blows. I think Ultimate Chicken Horse may also end up on that list. In both games, I've seen people I consider friends devolve into fits of rage. At the top of this list is any Mario Party game or the card game Phase 10. ![]() These games, both digital and physical, simply cause too much turmoil and strife within a group of friends. ![]() There are certain games I don't play around my friends.
