Rodeo Stampede+ is one of those rare games that manages to be two different genres at once and succeeds at both. The 'riding' part of the game is fast and frantic, requiring genuine skill to navigate the chaos of the stampede. Then, you get to cool off by managing your zoo, which provides a great sense of long-term progression.
The 'plus' version is particularly great because it removes all the microtransactions, so you can actually enjoy the progression at a natural pace. The voxel art style is charming and keeps the game running smoothly even when the screen is full of buffalos and giraffes. It’s a perfect loop of action and relaxation.
Dozens of exotic animals to catch
Deep zoo management and upgrades
Unique 'lasso' and 'leap' mechanics
Variety of biomes and eras
Ad-free Apple Arcade experience
When you jump onto a new animal, a heart meter will appear. Stay on the animal without crashing until the meter fills to officially tame it for your zoo.
Don't stay on one animal too long! They will become angry and try to buck you off. Time your jumps to jump onto a fresh, calm animal to maintain speed.
Each species has a different speed and temper. Ostriches are fast but hard to control, while Elephants are slow but can plow through obstacles.
