Press release:
JANUARY 22nd, 2020 – White Smoke Games are proud to announce that “Super Chicken Catchers” – a vibrant 2v2 future-sport with chickens, aliens and flying pigs – is coming to Steam, 18 February 2020.
To accompany the announcement, a new trailer has been released showcasing the fast-paced action and colourful aesthetics reminiscent of N64 classics players can expect.
Super Chicken Catchers propels players into an alternative future where one sport has gripped the universe: Cluckball! With the entire galaxy watching, you’ll compete in the ultimate 2v2 competitive sporting event to claim the grand prize.
Playable solo, local and online, Super Chicken Catchers is a frantic struggle for supremacy that takes the highly competitive and collaborative nature of games like Rocket League but swaps the ball for a chicken.
Currently available in Steam Early Access, Super Chicken Catchers aims to bring players a competitive 2v2 experience in which rider and mount have to act in unison against their opponents. Pushing friendships, new and old, to the limit, players will have to work together if they ever hope to conquer the Cluckball World Championships and stand atop the grand podium.
White Smoke Games CEO, Florent Leger said: “Since the very beginning of this adventure, we wanted to create a different kind of sports game focused on cooperation and communication in an off-beat universe.”
“After a lot of blood, sweat, and pixels, we are proud of what we achieved and hope that the community will enjoy playing it like our early chicken catchers did!”
Super Chicken Catchers will be launching on Steam on 18 February 2020.
About Super Chicken Catchers
Super Chicken Catchers is a 2v2 future sport with chickens, aliens, and flying pigs, where professional chicken-catchers compete for the galaxy’s ultimate prize.
It’s Year 2 of Era 4 on Planet 12, which can only mean one thing… it’s time for the galaxy-wide Cluckball Championship!
As the entire galaxy watches, you and your fellow Twelvians will battle for the ultimate 2v2 sporting prize. But with the competition so fierce, you and your partner will need to hone your
co-operative tactics to become champions of the stars.
How will you collaborate? What’s your game plan? Will you outwit your opponents and emerge
victorious, as the team in possession of the fabled chicken?
It’s time to go clucking wild…
It’s not easy being a professional chicken-catcher. You’ll need to communicate to trick and flee your enemies. Cooperation is the key to success!
The Rider
As a gleeful Twelvian Rider, you’ll jump and glide in the air, and are more than a little handy witha weapon. But when you’re in possession of the chicken, your powers are limited. Pass the chicken to your Mount to regain your agility!
The Mount
This little piggy sure packs a punch. Charge, attack, accelerate, and activate triggers – but when you’ve got the chicken, you’re rendered far less deadly. Pass the chicken to your Rider to blitz your opponents once more!
In the future, chicken-catchers can play from anywhere they like!
Online
Challenge your friends to a private game, or join the rest of the galaxy to compete for supremacy!
Split-screen
Gather up to four friends and ride your buddies during frantic couch co-op parties! Solo
Prepare for competition with training races and other solo challenges!
AND MORE!
An array of colourful arenas, each with its own set of special features!
Cosmetic customization: spend your winnings and become a recognizable celebrity chicken-catcher!
An ever-expanding world, with regular free content updates to keep the competition fresh!
No chickens were harmed in the making of this game.
