Valentine’s Day Contest Winners!

We asked, and you all most certainly answered! Not only that, but you answered so hard we had to push our winner reveal out by a day to make sure each entry got the amount of eyes on it that it deserved. We’re always blown away by the amount of talent, passion, and attention to detail that our community possesses, so good job! To you specifically! Pat yourself on the back right now. I’m waiting.

Good job!

We received nearly three hundred entries for our Pink Knight Valentine’s Day art contest and while we wish we could award all three hundred of you people a Pink Knight figurine…contests are contests, and you either win first place or you LOSE!!!1!! (But try to keep a sunny disposition, nobody likes a CRYBABY.)

Except with this contest, we originally had only three winners. And we realized that we couldn’t pick just three. We realized we’re so surrounded on all sides by artists (and sculptors, and crocheters, and…ice cream molders?) So instead of purely winning or losing, the Necromancer found it in their heart to resurrect a few more goodies (read as: Blacksmith plushies!).

While chickens can’t talk, this chicken has chicken fingers, and wanted to thank everybody who submitted, participated, posted their art, and made us smile. It’s nice to take a step back and focus on love, rainbows, and hamsters every once in a while. We read and reviewed every single entry, whether or not we were able to give yours a personal response. This warm, fuzzy feeling inside was something akin to heartburn for us, so we decided to share it with everyone: go check out the full album of submissions here. They were too good to not be showcased.

Honorary mentions who shall always have a special place in our chicken hearts:

Thank you for abiding by the No Hair Collage rule (for the most part 🤮), save for one very clever submitter who blessed our eyes with a HARE Collage:

Thank you to the many who offered to send eye-bleach on the chance we did get hair collage submissions, and just thanks in general for reading our blogs and hanging out with us all these years. 

And thank you to the people who wished the chickens running the contest a happy day. <3 We heart you.

Surprise! One-Day Castle Crashers Physical Flash Sale!

We are so grateful to our community for the support from our humble beginnings to now! When we went to submit our Valentine’s Day floral order to send to you all, we were told there actually was a malfunction with their National Intergalactic Rose Distribution Service machine. Our other idea was sending some bear blood rain to color the skies a lovely shade, which they weren’t too keen on for some reason, pfffffft.

So we had no choice but to be creative in our Valentine’s Day Gift to you!

We present to you a one-day chance to get Castle Crashers Physical for Switch!

More copies are on the way to be fully stocked and available for direct purchase from our merch nest store, so let there be no panicking this Valentine’s Day! Let there be only chocolate consuming and playing games! 

But don’t play games with our hearts or we will cry.

Tomorrow, February 14th, we will be holding a one day sale through our merch store with a batch of Castle Crashers Remastered Physical Version for Nintendo Switch! Orders will be capped to three (3) per person and will only be available while our limited supplies last. This will definitely not be the last chance to get your chicken-fingers on the physical version of our beloved knights – we pinky-feather swear.

Important Note from The Chicken: This specific sale will only be available for domestic (US) customers at this time. We truly apologize for the inconvenience, but this is because we are still working on updating our international shipping policies to bring you the speediest and best pricing possible! International shipping will return at a date TBD while we find the best way for you to get your goods overseas.

We’re busy getting all of our chickens in a row and are excited to share when these physical editions will be available in their entire glory–more info to follow soon, so keep your eyeballs peeled!
