Ultimate Chicken Horse reveals “Hippo-Party-Plus” update
Posted on September 8, 2021 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
Clever Endeavour Games today unveiled a major patch for Ultimate Chicken Horse known as the “Hippo-Party-Plus” update, and it’s going live on September 20. It comes with Hippopotamus as a new character, Triceratops alternate skin, Rollercoaster level, and four new outfits: Floatie (Hippo), Cowboy Boots (Hippo), Balloon (Hippo) Jockey Outfit (Horse). That’s on top of the regular bug fixes.
Here’s a trailer showing off the new Ultimate Chicken Horse update:
And here’s additional information on other additions, changes, and fixes:
Minor Features
Ultimate Chicken Horse has been updated to Unity 2020 – some beta testers have reported a smoother, more optimized feel to the game
Added a Help and Tips section to the pause menu
Adjusted some physics for better wall experiences
Players can no longer spam the pause button, which previously let players exploit level timers and some physics
Added some new backgrounds for community level creations
Players can now delete custom levels that they have uploaded
Level Fullness is always displayed in freeplay build mode
Bug Fixes
Adjusted some physics for better wall experiences (smoother motion on wall slides and less likely to “bounce” off walls)
Fixing these physics problems has had a cascading effect that we believe improves the feel of the game, and makes it slightly more responsive. It does slightly change the fundamental physics of the game, and some previous advanced techniques will have to be rediscovered or adjusted.
“Follow player” camera fixed after respawns and in Sudden Death
