The menu is a little awkward to navigate given the fact you can tell it was on Steam first, you have a mouse cursor and you move it with the control stick which isn’t the quickest or most intuitive much like the same style as Hover. The control method is very easy to get to grips with, all you need to do is run and jump and make sure you don’t die. You can unlock different outfits for the characters as well but as they all play the same, it’s all purely aesthetic. You can choose from four characters at the beginning and two stages, this will increase the more you play in the form of floating ‘?’ boxes appearing in a stage. Mr Raccoon best make a quick get away or else he’ll be up, up and away!
The aim is to place things across the stage to make other players journeys a lot more difficult. In the party box you’ll find different environmental hazards that will either help or hinder your game. It’s here that things will start to get interesting, each player can only pick one item. You’ll be playing 12 rounds, at the start of each one you’re given a party box which will have between 4-6 items and all you have to do is pick one. You can play with 2-4 people locally and then you’ve got the option of venturing online in single player. Of course, things aren’t so simple when you put it into action – there’s a host of deadly traps and pitfalls you’ll be having to avoid and they’re set up by you, the players. Ultimate Chicken Horse is a multiplayer party style game which will see you and your opponents racing across different stages to try and reach the red flag. I played a fair share of Ultimate Chicken Horse pre-release and called it "an early frontrunner for game of 2016.With a “cluck cluck” here and a “cluck cluck” there. Generally Ultimate Chicken Horse is priced at £10.99 / $14.99, but the game is 10 per cent off until 11th March, making it currently £9.89 / $13.49. "We decided to do it anyway because we knew people would appreciate it and we knew that it would help us make the game as awesome as it deserves to be," the developer said on Steam. Still, Clever Endeavour decided to go forward with that regardless.
Online support was originally a stretch goal on the game's Kickstarter campaign, though the total tally fell just shy of that. Fear not, as this feature will return shortly. Actually, it was previously available, but developer Clever Endeavour Games had to temporarily pull it at the last minute because of a bug. So far the game only supports local multiplayer, but it will be getting online support with a beta for that going live "extremely soon". If everyone makes it, however, the stage is deemed "too easy" and no one gets points. Get to the goalpost and you'll receive bonus points for everyone who died to one of your traps. The goal is to make the stage challenging enough that your friends won't get it to the finish line, yet easy enough that you can make it there.Īfter each round you're given a new box of objects ranging from propeller-based platforms, buzzsaws, teleporters, crossbows, stairs and more. The party game tasks up to four players to collaborate on building a stage, with each person picking one piece of scenery to add to the level. PS4, Xbox One and Wii U versions are planned to launch later.
