I'm ashamed to admit I've lost several rounds to friends just because they've taken obscene risks to get coins while I simply focused on finishing. This, and bonus points based on coin collecting and players hitting your traps/obstacles, makes things tricky. If everyone survives, no one gets any points. You set a number of turns each player has to rack up enough points (which have no real numerical value and are obtained via surviving while other players die) to take home the crown. The real beef lies in playing with other people and competing to win. How else will you mourn friends fallen to your traps? This may suffice for those who just want to make levels, but it's ultimately an unsatisfying way to experience the game. There is no default single player mode, but it is possible to use the game's convenient Shared Controller Couch to take turns placing items and platforming between multiple characters. Ultimate Chicken Horse is not meant to be a single player affair. Most of the items available are, befittingly, deadly obstacles - and playing well means making good use of these obstacles to kill off other players without getting killed yourself.īuilding and subsequently playing the levels is a very simple affair with no special learning hurdles, making Ultimate Chicken Horse easy to pick up for gamers of all ages and experience levels - but actually traversing and surviving a level in the thick of it can take considerable skill if you or any of the other players have been particularly devious with item placement. Party is the default and more "in the spirit" of the game, but Creative is great if you and your friends want to build an elaborate stage. Creative Mode allows you to choose any item available. Party Mode gives players four random items to choose from the Party Box. Once every player has either reached the finish line or died, it's time to choose items again. You and the other players pick an item, place it, then try to survive (hopefully with coins in tow) from start to finish. There are two primary modes in Ultimate Horse Chicken: Party and Creative.īoth modes are fundamentally the same.
So how does this whole "you build the levels" thing work? It's up to you and your buddies to build the way! With a mixture of safe platforms, coins, and murderous traps that are sure to betray you more than you'll ever admit. A level's basic terrain, gimmicks, and start and finish areas already conveniently placed. Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party platformer with a twist, that twist being the fact you and any other players must build the levels piece by piece. Ultimate Chicken Horse is one of many answers to the community call for online co-op on Steam, but it's one to remember if you really like making your friends miserable.
