The 10 Year Annifursary Update, OUT NOW!

Ultimate Chicken Horse is celebrating ten years of unpredictable mayhem, unexpected laughs and fur-raising fun! Believe it or not, we feel like the party is just getting started, which is why we’re thrilled to share our biggest content drop in years with the FREE Annifursary Update! Take a look at everything it's got in store and be sure to hop in-game to try it out for yourself.

Introducing Two New Friends: Fox and Platypus!

The Fox is quick, clever, and always just a liiiiittle too pleased with themself. Keep your eye on this sly lil' charmer because it's three steps ahead and hungry for victory.

The Platypus, on the other hand, is an absolute chillmaxxer who does everything at its own unhurried pace. With this little guy, slow and steady really does win the race.

Fatal and Funky New Blocks!

Eyes up! The new Falling Block hangs perilously above, waiting for an unsuspecting victim. If you’re feeling mischievous, try rotating it to send it somewhere unexpected. You can even jump on it after it’s fallen for a fast and free ride!

Fancy footwork pays off! The new Dance Move block will have you tapping your toes (or hooves) as you sail carelessly on butter-smooth beats. Hop on, bust a move, and ride it across its track to reach new heights and leave your opponents in the dust.

Two Confounding New Levels: Picture Frame and Space Station!

Disrespect the rules of Euclidean geometry in Picture Frame, an all-new level where reality bends in on itself and danger can come from any direction! With a level that loops both vertically and horizontally, you can plot an elaborate course to outfox your opponents or find yourself back where you started in the blink of an eye. Maybe don’t blink?

Next up, blast off into the cosmic chaos of Space Station, a high-orbit arena where gravity is never a constant! Take one small step through the weightless void of open space and one giant leap into the crushing gravity of the station interior. Slam the airlock button to create new paths or trap your friends as they desperately scramble for victory. It’s every critter for themselves because in space, no one can hear you squeak!

Excellent Alternative Skins: Direwolf and Toucan

It’s the same furry friend with an icy new look. Fresh from the frigid tundra comes the Direwolf alternate skin for the Fox! So cool (literally and figuratively)!

Alternatively, check out this second alternate costume: The exotic new Toucan look for the Platypus exudes a feathery flair and will really make you long for a bowl of breakfast cereal.

Sensational New Threads! (Videogame Animal Edition)

As always, we’ve launched both of our fantastic little critters with a selection of stylin’ duds to dazzle the eye and impress your friends. From the Fox’s red-hot Fire Tail and jaunty Scarf to the Platypus’ dramatic Hood and jovial Jester Boots, be sure to play the game and unlock them all!

Sensational New Threads! (Real World Human Edition)

Lastly, we’re excited to have once again teamed up with The Yetee on a fantastic new tee to celebrate 10 years of horse and chicken (and a bunch of other little guys)! The new merch is available now so be sure to take a look.

See the full update page for the full change log.


Thank you all again so much for the continued support over these last ten years. We can’t express how much it means to us to have such a supportive community and we’re so happy to be able to deliver you new stuff—let’s keep this game going for another 10 (or 100) years! 💖

Update 1.3 is out! Skunk, new blocks, control/physics adjustments, and a ton of other improvements!

The latest update for Ultimate Sheep Raccoon comes directly from the top things the community has been requesting to improve the game, including blocks with more interactivity, control/physics improvements, additional scoring options, a revamped tutorial and a lot more. This isn’t the end though, we’ve already started work on the next update!

New Character — Skunk!!

You probably don’t want to be behind this one…

 
 

New Blocks

💣 Sea Mine — Bounce on the balloons to drop the mine which will bounce and roll around the level before exploding.

🔄 Rotating Terrain Block — It’s like terrain, but… it spins. This can be used to slow others down, or as a ramp to jump up to places you couldn’t reach otherwise, or as a platform to make a tough level easier.

 
 

⛓️ Chain Hazard — Goes back and forth and knocks you off your bike (or knocks you out in Hardcore Mode)

 
 

🛹 New Rail! — Another shape of rail, actually the original shaped rail and then somehow it got lost in the project… but it’s back!

Improved Bike Controls / Physics

We did a big pass on character movement to make racing feel more responsive and less janky:

  • No more wheels popping out sideways after turning around (check out this video on our Discord)

  • Made sure that a jump while falling or double jumping always gives upward lift

  • Fixed awkward landing animation cutoffs

  • Changed how coming down ramps and up ramps works slightly

  • Played with some physics values to make it feel better

New Scoring & Game Mode Improvements

🚫 “Too Easy, No Points” Option — in the game settings, turn this option on and players will not score points if everyone reaches the end. This is off by default, but a lot of Ultimate Chicken Horse players have asked for it so let’s see what you think!

You can see this in the lobby list if you’re looking at a match online, just like with Hardcode mode.

💀 Hardcore Mode Is Now Its Own Game Mode — this was a lobby setting since December but people didn’t see it, so now we made it its own “game mode” which turns the setting on by default.

You can also see this in the lobby list, with the little hardcore icon. This icon updates when a host changes the game rules.

🧮 Solo Points Added — if you’re the only player who finishes, you now get solo points!

Umbrella Power-Up Rebalanced

The umbrella was a little too good at letting players float across entire levels — so we’ve nerfed it! it now starts to fail after a given time, giving you less lift, then eventually closes by itself. Should be harder to jetpack or triple-jump into the sky and float across the whole level now.

Revamped Tutorial

The tutorial now teaches:

  • Different trick types, including wheelie

  • What Hardcore Mode is

  • Clearer feedback when changing controls

Quality of Life Improvements

Small changes that make a big difference:

  • Adjustable cursor speed

  • Windowed & borderless window modes added

  • No more slow smoothing in the level editor phase change (hold to build) and giving up — the circle in the UI fills up at a constant speed which causes less feeling of “but I held it long enough!”

  • Host player now gets a crown in lobbies (so everyone knows who can start the game)

 
 
  • After uploading a custom level, you’ll see the share code immediately

Bug Fixes — Important!

  • Missing UI bug, which we think causes the ghost bike issue where a player can control their fallen bike and never respawn — we made a lot of progress on this and it happens much less often, but still happens sometimes. We still have no idea why and can’t reliably reproduce the UI disappear bug, despite hours of QA… will continue trying.

  • Players no longer get stuck between cannons if they’re placed closely together

  • Achievement fixes (especially “Not That Way”)

  • Honey now sticks properly to moving objects (Cranes level objects, rotating terrain)

  • Game no longer crashes if a player joins as soon as a host leaves the lobby

  • Resetting in the tutorial doesn’t break the game anymore

  • Random level can no longer select locked levels

  • Fixed more issues with Simplified Chinese text

  • Ghost firework staying on-screen after placing and moving it in level editor mode

  • Tons of under-the-hood stability improvements

  • A bunch of UI and localization layout improvements

  • Refactored the block placement system to allow for more flexibility of how things can be placed

Go Try It Out!

We’ve been working to address your feedback and this update is the first one which really shows how your feedback shapes the game. Keep letting us know what you think and we’re already underway with our next update, lots to do!
