How versus works
Each round, players take turns placing platforms, traps, and hazards to build a shared obstacle course, then race to the goal while trying to complete it themselves and sabotage opponents.
About this game
Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party platformer where up to four friends compete by constructing the level together before racing through it. Each round begins with players selecting and placing course elements from a shared pool, balancing the need to create obstacles that hinder rivals against the risk of making the course impossible for themselves. The goal is to reach the finish line while others fail, earning points for successful runs and clever sabotage.

Gameplay combines light puzzle-solving with fast-paced platforming reflexes. Players must predict how their friends will move, place spike traps or crumbling blocks in key chokepoints, and adapt their own routes as the course grows more chaotic. Every element added changes the challenge for everyone, turning each round into a test of quick thinking and precise jumps.
Matches unfold across multiple rounds, with the course evolving into increasingly elaborate and unpredictable gauntlets. The competitive building phase rewards creativity and spite in equal measure, while the race itself demands platforming skill under pressure. Local and online multiplayer support makes it easy to host rematches and experiment with new sabotage strategies.

How does the building phase work when we're competing against each other?
Each round, all players select and place course elements from a shared pool before racing. You're trying to add obstacles that will trip up your friends while still leaving yourself a path to the finish. The trick is balancing sabotage with keeping the level possible for you to complete-if you make it too hard, you might block yourself too.
How do you score points when racing against friends?
You earn points by reaching the finish line while others fail. Successfully completing a course that your rivals can't beats everyone crossing together, so clever trap placement that stops opponents without stopping you is key to winning rounds.
Can we play rematches and keep building on the same course?
Yes, matches unfold across multiple rounds with the course evolving each time. Every round adds more elements, so the level becomes increasingly chaotic and elaborate as you and your friends keep layering on traps, platforms, and hazards.
What happens if I accidentally make the course impossible for myself?
That's part of the challenge-if your sabotage backfires and you can't finish either, you won't score that round. You need to predict how everyone will move and place obstacles that hinder rivals at chokepoints while leaving yourself a viable route through.
