Ultimate Chicken Horse News

[h2]🐑👻💀 BAA-HAHAHA, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🐑👻💀[/h2]


We asked our lovely builders to make spooky and autumn-themed levels in Ultimate Chicken Horse for our October build event. Here are 15 hand-picked, hauntingly good custom levels - all available to play on the LevelNET computer right now.


We also wanted to shoutout a couple of cool levels the devs loved:

1)P44B-7YDS me when koolaid. So cool and SO SCARY.


2) WV6Z-9XN4. Cozy autumn scene complete with falling leaves. Now just add sawblades and deadly barbed wire to complete the vibe.


Thank you to everyone who participated! I did my best to check out every level that was sent to me across Discord, email, social media... you seriously floored me with your creativity. (And your platforming skills - sorry to the Challenge level makers, I DID MY BEST).

[h2]Want to join the next build event?✨[/h2]
It's been a minute since our last build event, but we'll be running more in the future. So keep an eye on our Steam announcements, socials, or Discord if you want to build next time.

[h2]Ultimate Sheep Raccoon is coming soon![/h2]
You heard me - our new bike-racing party game is almost out - we'll be announcing the specific date very soon. (Psst, it's in 2025!)

In the meantime, please wishlist Ultimate Sheep Raccoon. It helps other players find our games, including UCH. :D

Our new party game, Ultimate Sheep Raccoon, has a FREE DEMO out now until October 21 for Steam Next Fest! We'll be playing with the community all week, so check out the demo.

P.S. Even if you've already tried out the demo, we'd really love if you played again! We've made ton of improvements and it really helps other players find the game too.

• 3 wild racetracks, including the new Pasture and Dam, plus an updated Farm. 🚲
  
• 8-player support for both online and local play (Steam only).
  
• Original animal characters from the Ultimate Chicken Horse cast - and Gator!
  
• New “first time playing” tutorial when you load into the demo to help teach you the basics. You can also skip it by opening the menu and going to the main menu.
  
• New training grounds to practice your cycling skills. You can access it from the main menu screen.
  
• Alternate control schemes to play on keyboard, controller with the triggers, or controller with the joysticks. You can set these in the main menu options or from the character select screen.
  
• Better terrain blocks that let you place them close together so there are less awkward gaps in the track.
  
• Improved rail blocks so that your bike snaps to and grinds along them more easily. You just have to be holding the jump button when you're near a rail.

We've also made loads of changes since our last public demo:

• Introduced private lobbies, lobby codes, Steam invites, and custom player counts (2-4 max).
  
• Increased points required to win, giving you more rounds to play and experiment with power-ups
  
• New alternate control scheme: Trials style controls (use RT and LT to move), selectable from the main menu options
  
• Bunch of new art
  
• Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements

Also, a little reminder that this demo is only a look at some of the content that will be in the final game. We're still working on big features like 8-player support, the custom level editor, and more characters - thanks for being so patient with us!

Your feedback helps us improve and shape Ultimate Sheep Raccoon, so we want hear from you! You can leave feedback in-game by pressing F1, or share your ideas/suggestions in the Clever Endeavour Game Discord.
