It's one of the go-to games for my friends and I. So, I was really looking forward to ultimate sheep raccoon (USR) and bought it a few minutes after I got the email it was out. I really wanted to like this game and give Clever Endeavor more money to support them. I also posted this review on mobile so hopefully the formatting isn't too bad and autocorrect doesn't screw me.\n\nThis game doesn't feel like it's expanding on what made UCH great. UCH has good controls, fun maps and objects, skill expression, charming visuals, etc. \nUSR missed the mark on all of those. The controls are loose and don't feel good. The beginning maps are relatively bland and way too small for what this game is trying to do. The placeable objects aren't very interesting and most boil down to making the end easier to reach, rather than UCH where the you want to strike a balance in making the goal hard to reach but leaving at least one possible path open.\n\nI feel like the power-ups in USR were not executed well. With the pacing that they are given to players and the amount of options, it ends up being a knowledge check of picking the best power up (umbrella or jet pack) and then making the course easier for what power-ups you picked. This could be fine and interesting, but there isn't enough time to develop the course with objects between power-ups. This asymmetrical gameplay between player power-ups choices is directly in contrast to the UCH where everyone has even footing and it being a test of skill.\n\nThis is a more of a personal taste issue, but I think the character animations are less cartoonish and the colors are washed out compared to UCH, which makes USR harder to look at.\n\nUnfortunately, I don't think a lot of these issues can be fixed through updates without majorly reworking the game. I can't recommend ultimate sheep racoon, but I thoroughly recommend you check out ultimate chicken horse!","votes_up",156,"recommendationid","timestamp_created","2025-12-09T22:47:20.000Z",{"_753":761,"_755":762,"_757":707,"_758":763},"First of all, I played the game about 30min with some friends and was disappointed because I feel the developer missed the goal of the game. It just was not fun.\nI'm sure you would improve as a player if you spend more time in the game mastering the controls, but this is not what made Ultimate Chicken Horse great.\n\nThe prequel Ultimate Chicken Horse is an easy to pick-up game that you can easily play with some friends, either locally or online. You don't need to learn complex controls, you don't have a steep learning curve, and the core concept (move and jump and get to the finish, but prevent others from doing so) is so simple that anybody can pick it up.\nThat's what Ultimate Chicken Horse was great at.\n\nUnfortunately, the sequel Ultimate Sheep Raccoon fails at that, and I don't think it's very easy to fix.\n\nFirst of all, the controls are way too complex/finicky and not very easy to pickup. If it only would be left+right, jump, and the powerups I think it would be okay, but the rolling and trick mechanics don't fit and are not easy to control.\nNext, the physics system does not match the race character, it feels like it has been developed for the Jump'n'Run controls of the previous game, but it feels very awkward with the bike racing.\nAlso, some of the obstacles/traps feel kind of weird, most often they stop the flow of the game. You can also not place them close another.\nLastly, the respawn mechanic is kind of weird. Depending on the layout of the track and the kind of trap it's mostly kind of random if you'll be able to respawn or not, because it all depends on whether your bike is going to stay on the track or not.\n\nAll in all this game is not easy to pick-up and therefore misses the most important fun part.",79,"2025-12-09T20:51:04.000Z",{"_753":765,"_755":766,"_757":723,"_758":767},"This game is fine, but just absolutely has no quality of life settings like chicken horse does.

are a demon in the Underworld, made out of glass and pain. The Devil has given you a skateboard with a simple deal: Skate to the Moon and swallow it — and you shall be freed.

Ollie, kickflip, and grind your way through the ash and smoke of The Emptylands as you take on a seemingly impossible quest. Learn to master your weight and motion to conquer the weeping concrete. Savour the ritualistic beauty as you set your feet to pop a perfect kickflip.

Skate fast to destroy vicious demons, help a forgetful frog, and save other tortured souls on your journey from fragile beginner to hardened skater. Push through hell and discover The Devil’s greatest weakness: humility, perseverance, and a disgustingly sweet backside tailslide.

All you need is your skateboard.

Stylish Street Skating Adventure

Skate through nine layers of The Underworld. Cruise through streets and surreal landscapes full of waxed ledges, unholy gaps, and tortured demons. Push your way through precarious paths and shred freeform skate spots. Discover and create your own challenges as you explore the world and master your board.

Succumb To The Beauty of The Board

Sell your soul for decks, wheels, and trucks to keep your skating fresh. Over 70+ skate tricks to progress and improve. Complete skate trials to level up, learn new tricks, and get new gear. Destroy vicious demons with your 360 flip… or at least impress them.

Hypnotic Beats for Demonic Streets

Cruise through The Underworld to a psychedelic soundtrack by enigmatic New York artist Blood Cultures, and additional tracks by John Fio.","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1263240/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1765241125",[1121],{"_16":235,"_236":1122,"_250":1126,"_252":71,"_27":71,"_253":145,"_254":255,"_256":257},[1123],{"_239":1032,"_240":1124,"_242":59,"_243":145,"_244":71,"_245":67,"_246":1125,"_248":262},"Skate Story - $19.99"," ","Buy Skate Story",{"_260":262,"_261":262,"_263":264,"_265":270,"_267":145,"_269":71},"https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1263240/6c3bb7e99bf2f03bc1ee087de495461cdf320df3/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1765241125",{"_275":1130,"_277":1131},"Minimum:

Or for example when speeding down a straight line, I would just do a lot of mini-teleports ahead instead of smoothly running forward.\r\n\r\nThis makes the game unplayable for me, I hope it will get fixed down the line for the game is great.","2025-12-09T11:30:30.000Z",{"_753":1486,"_755":93,"_757":1466,"_758":1487},"音乐没的说，键鼠操作太TM反人类了，WASD控制方向的同时要用鼠标+I和K放技能这是人类能想出来的操作？我三只手才够用。设置改键界面也有bug。本质就是个和幽灵行者差不太多的半背板游戏，一个是赛博跑酷一个是赛博滑板，一堆小众哥跳出来狂吹属实有点难绷。","2025-12-09T14:03:41.000Z",{"_796":1489,"_798":1490},275,5497.25,[1492,1501,1509,1517],{"_803":1493,"_753":1486,"_690":1465,"_816":59,"_755":93,"_817":93,"_818":145,"_819":50,"_757":1466,"_820":59,"_758":1498,"_822":1499,"_824":1500,"_826":59,"_827":59},{"_805":1494,"_807":1495,"_624":600,"_809":1496,"_811":1497,"_813":1497,"_815":1497},"76561198113249169",1765288875,124,20,1765289021,1765289868,"0.434650450944900513",{"_803":1502,"_753":1483,"_690":706,"_816":59,"_755":162,"_817":154,"_818":170,"_819":50,"_757":1461,"_820":59,"_758":1507,"_822":1507,"_824":1508,"_826":59,"_827":59},{"_805":1503,"_807":1504,"_624":1505,"_809":1506,"_811":720,"_813":720,"_815":720},"76561198019265554",1765279689,51,1645,1765279830,"0.415745168924331665",{"_803":1510,"_753":1477,"_690":706,"_816":59,"_755":105,"_817":162,"_818":166,"_819":50,"_757":1472,"_820":59,"_758":1514,"_822":1515,"_824":1516,"_826":59,"_827":59},{"_805":1511,"_807":1512,"_624":1411,"_809":1513,"_811":1497,"_813":1497,"_815":1497},"76561198349119963",1765233569,249,1765244593,1765267750,"0.35545957088470459",{"_803":1518,"_753":1480,"_690":706,"_816":59,"_755":166,"_817":170,"_818":154,"_819":50,"_757":1456,"_820":59,"_758":1522,"_822":1523,"_824":1524,"_826":59,"_827":59},{"_805":1519,"_807":1520,"_624":162,"_809":1521,"_811":841,"_813":841,"_815":841},"76561198040936205",1765246912,430,1765247171,1765291509,"0.270531505346298218",{"_913":1526,"_915":766,"_916":315,"_917":600,"_918":1527,"_919":170,"_920":672},131,215,{"_926":1529,"_599":1446,"_935":1533,"_945":1537},{"_928":1530,"_930":1531,"_932":1532,"_934":145},1.018877314814815,194.3315422975997,6.6,[1534],{"_938":939,"_599":1446,"_940":1535,"_942":162,"_943":1536},0.9797979797979798,194,{"_947":1538,"_952":1540,"_956":1544,"_960":1545},{"_607":162,"_949":1407,"_950":1539},0.675,{"_607":1541,"_949":1542,"_950":1543},69,34.84848484848485,1.1350241545893722,{"_607":145,"_949":145,"_950":145},{"_607":1546,"_949":1547,"_950":1548},125,63.13131313131313,5.014,[1550],{"_595":1551},["D",1765302279613],"https://shared.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1263240/library_600x900.jpg",{"_14":1554,"_16":1555,"_18":1556,"_297":50,"_298":1711,"_603":2028,"_971":2031,"_973":1682},"2453160","Sword of the Sea",{"_16":1555,"_20":21,"_22":1557,"_38":1560,"_61":59,"_62":1585,"_683":1589,"_78":1590,"_80":1591,"_83":1593,"_88":1594,"_90":1595,"_137":1608,"_140":1610,"_142":1611,"_173":1648,"_175":1649,"_211":1682,"_213":1683,"_215":1684,"_72":145,"_220":1686,"_226":1688,"_228":1689,"_230":1690,"_232":1691,"_258":1698,"_271":1701,"_273":1702,"_279":1705,"_283":1706,"_285":286,"_287":1707,"_289":1708,"_294":1710,"_296":1689},[1558,1559],{"_25":989,"_27":990},{"_25":33,"_27":34},[1561,1575],{"_25":1562,"_1563":1564,"_16":1569,"_1570":1571,"_49":50,"_51":1574},257150482,"mp4",{"_1565":1566,"_1567":1568},"480","http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/257150482/movie480.mp4?t=1749073209","max","http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/257150482/movie_max.mp4?t=1749073209","Sword of the Sea Launch Date","webm",{"_1565":1572,"_1567":1573},"http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/257150482/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1749073209","http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/257150482/movie_max_vp9.webm?t=1749073209","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/257150482/8645e0470fb520d4503e7cd0ca6d7b1d6d44fba4/movie_600x337.jpg?t=1749073209",{"_25":1576,"_1563":1577,"_16":1580,"_1570":1581,"_49":50,"_51":1584},256949315,{"_1565":1578,"_1567":1579},"http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/256949315/movie480.mp4?t=1685572366","http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/256949315/movie_max.mp4?t=1685572366","Sword of the Sea Announce Trailer",{"_1565":1582,"_1567":1583},"http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/256949315/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1685572366","http://video.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_trailers/256949315/movie_max_vp9.webm?t=1685572366","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/256949315/movie.293x165.jpg?t=1685572366",{"_64":1586,"_75":1587},{"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":1025,"_72":67,"_73":67,"_74":26},{"_66":67,"_68":1027,"_70":1588,"_72":1027,"_73":67,"_74":26},"Fantasy-Gewalt","“Gnarly and meditative!”

Surf across magnificent waves of sand and glistening waters on an epic quest to restore a lost ocean in Sword of the Sea.

From the visionary artist behind ABZÛ, The Pathless, and Journey – Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing adventure with highspeed Hoversword movement inspired by skateboarding and snowboarding.

Awesome Surfing and Tricks

Carve your way forward on the ancient and powerful Hoversword, which moves like a snowboard, skateboard, and surfboard all in one. Build momentum to reach top speed and catch big air off the crests of giant waves. Pull off radical flips, spins, and grab tricks with ease as you shred halfpipes, ramps, and wall rides. It’s the perfect balance of exhilarating action and fluid, meditative movement.

A Mysterious and Visually Stunning World of Waves

Explore a world where the land flows in constant waves. From massive tides to the smallest ripples, the shifting sea of dunes is incredibly detailed and beautifully rendered. Surf across sandy deserts, glacial mountains, and many more undulating environments full of secrets in this incredible adventure.

A Spiritual Journey to Unveil the Sea

You are the Wraith – resurrected in the desolate Necropolis on a quest to unveil the ancient sea buried beneath the land. Discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in sinking tombs and skatepark-like ruins as you search for purpose. Transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters and witness magical sealife return in huge, breathtaking shoals. Feel the spiritual magic of surfing as you connect with nature and restore life – but beware, there is also darkness lurking under the waves.

A Legacy of Art, Design, and Music Continues

Developed by the renowned indie team Giant Squid, Sword of the Sea features the unique artistic design of creative director Matt Nava and beautiful music composed by Austin Wintory. Long time creative partners, their works together include beloved indie games ABZÛ, The Pathless, and the legendary, award-winning game Journey.

You think sloths are slow? Well, Eddy is here to prove you wrong.

In Driftwood, you’ll experience high-speed downhill longboarding as an aerodynamic sloth. Drifting is the name of the game, as it’ll help you strike the perfect balance between speed and control. Drift through tight corners to avoid collision with cars and obstacles, and perform wicked tricks as you take in the beautiful landscape around you. These tricks will help you score points, which will unlock new boards that can be combined with various wheels for diverse skating styles.

Dream of skating as a sloth? Look no further – Driftwood lets you enjoy flowy longboarding as Eddy, who will acquire new boards, wheels, and clothes that will enhance the experience.
Race through beautiful scenery with relaxing music as the backdrop. Focus on vibes and tricks – Driftwood has no story campaign or obligations.

Immerse yourself in a contained world – Driftwood is not an open-world game; it’s a focused, minimalist experience.

Fun in solo or online with friends – Driftwood allows you to skate on your own, beat personal challenges and compare your runs in online leaderboards or host a lobby with up to 8 friends in the p2p multiplayer mode!

Travel to newly unlocked islands with your van – Driftwood has 15+ levels for you to skate and drift to your heart’s content.

We’re a small team consisting of just one artist and one programmer. We’ve set out to make a game that provides an intense downhill longboarding experience without much fluff, just a focus on drifting and flow. While there are no freestyle skateboarding tricks in Driftwood, we hope you enjoy the content in our game!
