Players find it a hilarious and chaotic party game that brings out friendly betrayal. [1][2][3] Some criticize server issues and anti-modding stance from the developers. [4][5]

I wish I could recommend this game, but I just can't... despite having been a competitive player, having gone through Terry's lessons and having been trained by really awesome competitive players a few years ago (memories that I'll cherish), the dev team and staff overall make stupid decisions and the new content of the game stinks. they're extremely anti-modding, thus preventing the community from expanding on the …

This game is stupid. It has clunky movement, questionable graphics and has animails wail very loud as they perish. Encourages: - Animal cruelty - Toxic relationships - Overcompetetiveness - Bullying friends - Wanting to punch your screen 10/10 try it out.

Had so many cry-laughing moments with UCH both online and local. Good times. Also, the devs were awesome enough to give us [Mixer partners] a bunch of free keys to give away on stream - so thanks for that! [My copy was purchased.]

ultimate chicken horse is one of those elite games that turns pure chaos into absolute peak. At its surface, it’s friendslop, but that description doesn’t even begin to capture how wildly creative and hilarious it gets once you start playing with friends. The real magic lies in its unique gameplay loop, everyone builds the level together while also trying to beat it. Each round, players place traps, platforms, and …

This game is honestly best of both worlds. its probably one of the best paty games ive come accros. its chill, fun and really good chaos. It also has a competitive side and insane mechanics you can learn (that arent needed for most casueal play) that just make the game so much deeper than what meets the eye. It aslo is very friendly on the system too. i have a friend who has a potato for a laptop, and it runs smooth …

Critics, per Wikipedia
The PlayStation 4 version of Ultimate Chicken Horse received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. The Escapist said the game "does everything it tries to do very well, but a few quibbles keep it from greatness," and recommended "a better guiding hand for stage building, especially for new players".

It was on sale, and me and one of my friends had a blast during one of the previous free weeks, so we convinced some of our friends to pick it up with us with it on sale. Returning to this game with more than one person was already an improvement. It feels like things actual become a challenge quickly. I'm not really sure how to explain the game to people who don't know, so my…

During this time period, many things in my life have changed, new social groups, and friends. After the social rebirth and exodus from high school, a few friends stuck around. Granted, this group is smaller than usual but is more closely intertwined. And yes, I know that's already off-topic for a Linux-based community.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game 347: Ultimate Chicken Horse This game is no less than brilliant. You have to go from one end of the level to the other, adding objects to the map to help you. But your opponents also have the same objective, so you also have to work on preventing them from succeeding. Simple, yet absurdly fun.

You all build the stage together (while also placing traps to sabotage eachother, you get points if ppl die in your trap). It's a very creative platformer. 😊
positive · AI labelView post →We choose to put the 5th wrecking ball on the 10th moving object coated in glue not to prove how good at platforming we are, but simply because it's funny. As long as no one in your friend group is absurdly good at old-school Mario, you'll have a good time. Even then, you can adjust a lot of factors and find a mode/level/score modifier that works.
