Ultimate Chicken Horse 2016

Is it still worth playing?

Everyone plays an animal, one of seven from raccoons to chameleons, at one end of an empty level with a flag at the other. It is a 2016 party game for the PC, later on consoles, with online play across all of them. It came out of a jam in 2014. Each round a Party Box offers four random objects, a platform, a saw, a crossbow, a trampoline, and each player takes one and places it, then everyone runs the course. The scoring is the whole idea: you score for reaching the flag only if somebody else did not, and if everyone makes it, or nobody does, nobody scores, so the game is building a level hard enough to kill your friends and still clear yourself. You are not fighting your rivals while you platform, only racing them to the finish. Every piece you lay is still a bet on your own legs today.
