Ultimate Chicken Horse

ESRB Rating:	E10 - Everyone (Ages 10 and up)
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Party Game / Platformer
Fun-O-Meter:
Summary:	Sometimes, people just want to have some fun together. And sometimes, having fun means screwing with them. Ultimate Chicken Horse is a silly little game about trying to reach the finish line while also preventing your friends from doing the same. Thus, those who survive will be the Ultimate Chicken -- or Horse, or Raccoon, or Cyborg Bunny. Whatever floats your boat.
Brief thoughts:	The rule of the game is to be the only one who can survive the obstacle course you've built, but since failing only amounts to your character's eyes getting crossed out, there's nothing to really worry about.

Today's Featured Glossary Entry

Backtrack

Backtracking means returning to areas that the player has already explored.

From a developer's point of view, having the player return to explored areas allows them to add a few extra levels without creating many new assets, so it saves on time and money. Players, however, often view backtracking as a bad thing, as they'd rather be exploring new places.

Note that it's not backtracking if the area has significantly changed between visits.
