Once selected, the item becomes unavailable for the others to use. Each player gets a cursor and must choose one platform, gadget, or trap from the selection in the party box. Each round starts off with a shake of the “Party Box.” Inside each box are a handful of stage pieces to choose from. While shared controllers will miss out on the fun of party mode, it would be impossible to allow a shared controller to enjoy the simultaneous mayhem. This is a nice touch to a competitive party game that usually relies on multiple controllers. A special controller-sharing couch can be found in the lobby (called the “Treehouse”) which players can ‘sit’ in to share a single controller and take turns. However, players can also share a controller in creative mode. In both modes, players use their own controller. The local co-op mode offers two modes: party and creative. While this is a pretty basic set-up to start, further animals and even costume pieces are unlockable during special map events (indicated by ? on the map select screen).

Each has its own animations and voice, but are otherwise identical in gameplay. There are four playable characters in UCH to start with: Chicken, Horse, Sheep, and Raccoon. UCH is a puzzle-platformer party game with a simple motto: screw your opponents, but don’t screw yourself. We’re suiting up for Ultimate Chicken Horse from Clever Endeavour Games, a game thankfully not about egg-laying equines. Don’t worry, we’re not heading into a farming or livestock simulator. Put on your mucking jeans – we’re going to the farm.
