The A·cobra·tic Update is now LIVE!

/

Hello Ultimate Animals,

The A·cobra·tic Update is here NOW! In case you missed it, you can check out the trailer below:

As you can see, we've added:

  • 1 character: Snake on a skateboard!

  • 2 levels: Space and The Ballroom

  • 4 blocks: beehives, cannons, flamethrowers, and one-way gates

This update also comes with a few more improvements:

  • New paintbrush sizes in Free Play Mode allow you to paint more or fewer things at once

  • A "Randomize" button on the modifiers page turns on a random number of modifiers at random settings for chaotic fun

  • We now have Nintendo Switch and PS4 cross-play, along with the PC-Switch and PC-PS4 cross-play from before

  • A Czech localization is now available

  • Dozens of bugs have been fixed

Keep an eye out for the ? signs in the Treehouse: they tell you where you will find unlock boxes for the levels, the Snake character, and its outfits.

It's a great time to invite your friends to join in on the fun! Let them know Ultimate Chicken Horse is on sale right now on all platforms! (Except, unfortunately, XboxOne. There's a sale cooldown period between sales and because we were in the "Animals" sale at the end of February we couldn't be included in this one.)

If you're looking for people to play with online, you can join the official Discord server.

We hope you enjoy all the new stuff!

Cheers,
The Clever Endeavour team

Introducing the A∙cobra∙tic Update!

/

The update you’ve all been waiting for is almost ready! We’re super proud to announce the A∙cobra∙tic Update for Ultimate Chicken Horse will be coming March 12th to all platforms. Check out the trailer!

For all the juicy details, slither over to the A∙cobra∙tic Update Page and read all about the new character, new blocks, and new levels. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

There’s other news too, just in case a massive game update isn’t enough for you.

Switch Release in Hong Kong and Korea

The game is finally out on Nintendo Switch in the Hong Kong and Korea regions, as of February 13th. While we’ve been out in those regions on PC, we think the Switch will give us much more access to potential fans in those regions.

Still Big in Japan

It appears that Ultimate Chicken Horse is still big in Japan! We were the 11th best-selling download-only game on Nintendo Switch in Japan in 2019, and the team is super proud of that. We’re also happy to get to interact with fans from across the globe, and as you may have seen in the blog last month, these fans are really dedicated.

PAX, GDC, and the Pixelles Ensemble

Rich is headed off to PAX in Boston next week to see what’s new and bring back some inspiration, and then a few weeks later Rich, Gen and Alex are headed to the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. We’re very proud to be sponsoring the Pixelles ensemble at GDC, a convention scholarship by an organization that aims to help marginalized developers get into and excel in the industry. We’ll come back with pictures and update you next month!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new content! Sending love from Clever Endeavour HQ.

 

Cookies from Japan, Reflections on 2019, and a Sweet Farm Bundle!

/

Greetings from the Clever Endeavour Crew! Some fun updates to kick off the new year. First off, we got cookies! Normally that wouldn’t be so exciting, but these cookies are special in many ways. Look at these beauties:

But what really makes these creations special is that they come from two special superfans of ours in Japan. Tsumugi and Kinu are 8-year-old twin sisters who sent us a ton of fan art, including an 18 page long comic about the adventures of our characters (in Japanese). 

In response, we sent them a couple of custom child-sized t-shirts as a thank you. Then, they won the gift-giving contest.

If we were to respond, we might have to send them a giant golden chicken statue (don’t get any ideas people), so I think we will concede. Huge thanks to them—the cookies were awesome—and a huge thanks to our entire community for their continued support.

Next up, a new video blog! We wanted to share with you some of our favourite things from 2019 and talk about what we’re excited for in 2020, just like we did last year. Here it is!

If you’re curious about last year’s videos, here are parts 1 and parts 2.

Oh! And in case you missed it, Ultimate Chicken Horse is currently in the Humble Sweet Farm Bundle. We normally don’t do bundles for this game, but we couldn’t resist the perfect theme. And hey you can get Stardew Valley and a bunch of other sweet games!

That’s what’s new for this month! Well actually, there’s a big new update dropping super soon. The update will have a new character, 2 new levels, and 4 new blocks.  We’re submitting all this stuff to certification for all platforms very shortly, so look out for some teasers coming in the next few weeks. We’ll be announcing that pronto with a fresh new trailer! Stay tuned…
