Hello, we wanted to extend a massive thank you to everyone who submitted their incredible art, it was such a pleasure to look through, and very difficult to decide who would win. While there were so many amazing pieces to pick from, we ultimately had to settle with a top three (and a phenomenal runner-up).
Here are our three winners and two runner-ups for our Pet Art Competition. Presented in no particular order we have...
This is PuppetSquid's Storm! Storm spends his time at Alfie's Island (a dog cafe) where he is gradually learning to be less anxious.
This is Googly's Dalmata. Dalmata is a friend's pet who recently passed away. What a beautiful tributeā¤ļø
This is Lemon the Dart Frog by StrayGalaxy. We are positively obsessed with that little outfit šŗš And our runner-up:
This is RitzRaspaās Maxāaffectionately described as ādoofyā, and we could not agree more.
Again, thank you so much to each and every one of you for your workāyour love for UCH sustains us and is what makes this community so great.
Hope the holiday season treats you all wonderfully, we can't wait to share with you more things in the new year!

Ultimate Chicken Horse patch 1.9.02
Ultimate Chicken Horse version 1.9.02 is now Live!
Here's a reminder of what to expect:
Both of the services that the game uses for all of the online content and online multiplayer had to be replaced. The game should work exactly as it did before, but you may notice some strangeness in this transitional period:
Extremely new content (levels, votes, challenge times) may be lost if they were posted between the last time we grabbed data and now. We'll work to retrieve that if we can. We should be able to at least retrieve the newest levels in the coming days.
Many older uploaded levels will be missing. Due to technical constraints, we weren't able to migrate every single level that had ever been uploaded. We've managed to migrate over 200,000 levels that were either popular or created in the last year. You can use the "My Levels" filter to see which of your published levels made it over. If any of your levels seem to be missing but you still have a local copy saved, feel free to publish it again!
Almost all of the data besides uploaded levels should be present and visible. This includes level statistics, high scores and your personal bests. Note that in places where a username is shown, if the associated user comes from data that was migrated the display name will be whatever it was at that time and may not update if that same user changes their display name in the future.
Patch Notes
Features:
Added crossplay with Xbox. All platforms can now play together!
Replaced the GameSparks server solution with BrainCloud, this now handles all player authentication, level uploads, level bans, challenge times, user bans, etc.
Added "Tournament" as a preset. These rules were suggested to us by the community.
Added new Farmhands, Syd (community manager) and SuperNimbus (team we worked with for server changes) to the credits
Bug Fixes:
Fixed animal icons navigating inventory sometimes lose their costumes
Characters dance sound continues when jumping directly from dance
Lots of bug fixes involving the changes that were made to the servers
Ultimate Chicken Horse Patch Notes V1.9.02
Hello!
Our patch is coming out shortly (this Tuesday) and we have lots of info to throw your way!
The patchās purpose is to move servers and tweak some bugs. However, we're also not solidly sure what issues may appear while the levels are porting from new users from one server to the next, so we would advise the following during this transition period of 48 hours:
- Donāt make any new levels during this transition period!
- Donāt try to beat any high scores!
- Donāt upvote/downvote anything!
In short: save your creativity/speedruns for two days later!
Now, for the GOOD stuff:
- Did someone ask for Xbox cross-play? Well, we heard you! Everyone is now able to play with everyone! Butā¦
- It should be known that Xbox Gamertags are displayed as anonymous in leaderboards and results screens, this is normal and expected. This is due to Xboxās legal standards and set-up, not something on our end.
- As a tiny gift to our lovely community, weāve added a tournament rules preset ā [details here]. If you have any concerns/questions about the rules, thatās something to chat about with the community as they were created upon request :)
- Weāve updated the credits! Thanks to everyone who has helped us since our last edit of them.
- Because of all of the changes to the back-end, there have been some wonky things about challenge scores, users, etc. Please report anything you see!
- There is a possibility that we might lose the ability to click on a player's score on a level in order to open up their profile on Steam.
Thanks for your patience, enthusiasm and coolness!
