Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari

About Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari

Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari is a one-touch arcade endless runner from Australian studio Featherweight Games, released in 2016 for iOS and Android (published and operated by Yodo1). You play a cowboy who leaps onto the backs of stampeding wild animals — buffalo, zebras, ostriches, elephants, lions and more — chaining jumps across procedurally endless plains while dodging rocks, trees and water. Hold on through a beast's bucking and you tame it, whisking it up to your floating Sky Zoo. Back at the zoo you fill enclosures, welcome visitors, and earn coins that fund revives, upgrades and new animals. Progress unlocks fresh biomes — Jungle, Mountains, the Jurassic age with dinosaurs, ocean depths and beyond — each with its own creatures to collect. It blends high-score chasing with relaxed zoo-building, and its charming lasso-and-critters loop made it a standout mobile hit.

How to play Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari

1. Tap (or click/press Space in a web port) to launch onto the back of a stampeding animal and start your ride across the plains.
2. Tap again to leap from your current mount onto the next animal running alongside — chain jumps to travel farther and build your score.
3. To tame a wild animal, stay on it and hold through its bucking; survive and you capture it for your Sky Zoo, unlocking that species.
4. Steer clear of obstacles like rocks, trees and water — falling off or crashing ends the run.
5. Between runs, place captured animals into Sky Zoo enclosures, invite visitors, and collect the coins they generate.
6. Spend coins to expand your zoo, unlock new animals, and complete objectives that open new biomes (Jungle, Mountains, Jurassic and beyond).

Controls

• Desktop: Click, tap, or press Space to jump between animals; hold to stay mounted and tame a bucking beast. Web/H5 ports map the mobile single-tap to a mouse click or the spacebar — there is no keyboard steering.
• Mobile / tablet: Tap anywhere on the screen to leap from animal to animal; hold on to tame a bucking beast. Pure one-touch controls — no D-pad or buttons.

Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari tips & strategy

• Don't cling to one animal too long — each species tires and bucks you off after a set time, so leap to a fresh mount before yours gives out to keep the stampede alive.
• Tame a new species by riding out its full bucking; captured animals are sent to your Sky Zoo and permanently unlock that animal.
• Build and upgrade your Sky Zoo early — enclosures generate coins passively, even while you're offline, which bankrolls revives and unlocks.
• Complete the animal/quest and family-tour objectives to open new biomes like the Jungle, Mountains and Jurassic age and reach rarer creatures.
• Time your jumps early: animals drift toward hazards, and some (flying or gliding creatures) can clear gaps that ground animals can't.
• Collect animal variants and skins — a more complete, higher-rarity zoo pays out significantly more coins per visitor.
