Ultimate Chicken Horse announces the Transformative game update in Linux, Mac and Windows games. While developer Clever Endeavour Games adds more content. And yes, this is a pretty HUGE content update. Which will arrive on March 4th. Including a lot of puns.
So Ultimate Chicken Horse will receive the Transformidable Update. Because it is both transformative and formidable. This is what Clever Endeavour calls it.
Major Features:
Character reskins
It seemed a bit unfair that only Horse had an alternative look as Zebra. So the new friends below have also showed up! These exotic creatures will show up as outfit unlocks in the game. Which you will also get as you play Ultimate Chicken Horse local or online.
Jetpacks
Your Party Box can now give you the brand new Jetpack or Jetpack Dispenser. So pick one up, and you’ll be flying through the course like a rocket. Just be careful of the hazards in the Transformative update. Which will also be playable on Linux, Mac and Windows.
So in case you thought Ultimate Chicken Horse wasn’t wacky enough. There now 20 modifiers to play with. With all these modifiers, you can also make crazy combos. Even make custom challenge levels using specific modifiers. Since you can create a level and save it online in Challenge Mode. All players will have to use those modifiers to try to beat your level.
Physics Modifiers
- Gravity: Changing the laws of physics has never been this easy.
- Jump Strength, Multi Jump, and Walljumps Off: Tweak the jump strength, give yourself double or triple-jumps, and turn off wall-jumps entirely to play like a certain childhood platforming plumber.
- Player Collisions: You asked for it in Ultimate Chicken Horse! No really, the community has been asking for it forever. If screwing your friends over is your thing, this modifier is for you. It can also be helpful though in levels that might be impossible without a friend or two!
- Move Speed and Game Speed: Play in slow-mo to practice those precision jumps, or play in hyper-speed and see if you can keep up!
- Frictionless: This is what it would feel like if it was always -40°C.
