[h2]New Character: Turtle[/h2]

Meet Turtle, the newest animal on the Ultimate Chicken Horse roster, voiced by our previous community manager, Syd!

Always ready to dive head-first into the next adventure, this plucky reptile never backs down from a challenge. Turtle’s no slowpoke when it comes to winning and won’t hesitate to slide straight into first place!

[h2]Alternative Skin: Armadillo[/h2]
Look out, Turtle’s alternative skin just rolled in - it’s Armadillo! Don’t be intimidated by the tough exterior - Armadillo is a huge softie with a big heart.


[h2]New Outfits[/h2]
Turtle and Armadillo share a wonderful wardrobe designed by our very own Ultimate Chicken Horse community! Mix and match these accessories for the perfect fit.

• Helmet: It’s like a shell for your head!
  
• Pirate Costume: Yer lookin’ as sharp as a cutlass, me hearty!
  
• Ninja Gear: Only worn by true warriors of the night. (It glows in the dark.)

[h2]New Level: Metro[/h2]
Don’t miss your train! Navigate the underground metro by sprinting across the roofs of train cars as they thunder by. Place building blocks and traps to fill the gaps between the station platforms, or risk falling into the deadly electrified rails! Make it to the opposite platform without being flattened to win!

The Metro level features several historic train stations straight from our studio’s home: Montreal, Canada.

Hello, we wanted to extend a massive thank you to everyone who submitted their incredible art, it was such a pleasure to look through, and very difficult to decide who would win. While there were so many amazing pieces to pick from, we ultimately had to settle with a top three (and a phenomenal runner-up).

Here are our three winners and two runner-ups for our Pet Art Competition. Presented in no particular order we have...

This is PuppetSquid's Storm! Storm spends his time at Alfie's Island (a dog cafe) where he is gradually learning to be less anxious.


This is Googly's Dalmata. Dalmata is a friend's pet who recently passed away. What a beautiful tribute❤️


This is Lemon the Dart Frog by StrayGalaxy. We are positively obsessed with that little outfit 🌺😭

And our runner-up:

This is RitzRaspa’s Max—affectionately described as “doofy”, and we could not agree more.


Again, thank you so much to each and every one of you for your work—your love for UCH sustains us and is what makes this community so great.

Hope the holiday season treats you all wonderfully, we can't wait to share with you more things in the new year!

Best,

Clever Endeavour Games
