'Ultimate Chicken Horse' Gets Physical Nintendo Switch Release In October - Trailer

by Rainier on July 15, 2021 @ 9:00 a.m. PDT

Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party platformer where players build a level as they play, placing traps and hazards to make a stage too difficult for friends to complete, but not too hard for themselves to beat.

Ever wish you were a wall-jumping, arrow-dodging, trap-setting horse, besting your animal pals in a race through a peril-laden obstacle course that you all built together?

Inspired by the schoolyard basketball game H.O.R.S.E., Ultimate Chicken Horse has players alternate between placing traps, gadgets or platforms and running through their communal creation toward the goal.

Ultimate Chicken Horsehas four game modes. In Party Mode, players choose from a handful of randomized blocks to place then try to complete the level. Creative Mode allows players to pick from the entire inventory of blocks and traps before running the level. Free Play Mode allows players to design levels from the full suite of objects, which they can save locally or share online. And finally Challenge Mode will have players competing online for fastest completion times on community made levels. For those who don’t have enough controllers for everyone in local play, try the Shared Controller Couch which allows players to take turns playing in Creative Mode.

Coming this October, the Ultimate Chicken Horse “A-Neigh-Versary” Edition exclusively for Nintendo Switch celebrates over 5 years of platform building, trap laying and casual competitive fun with additional physical items: Chicken keyring, a digital soundtrack code and an Ultimate Chicken Horse Compendium booklet which will help players keep track of all their unlocked characters, outfits and levels as they play.

The “A-Neigh-Versary” Edition includes all of the currently available Ultimate Chicken Horse updates on the game cart, including: Elephantastic, Chimply Amazing, Transformidable and the A-cobra-tic updates.
