Perth, Western Australia — August 23, 2024 — Echidna Studios, an independent game developer based in Western Australia, is thrilled to announce the launch of "Ricochet Rodeo," an 8-player cowboy brawler that brings a new twist to PvP arena games. Set to launch on Steam in late October 2024, this game combines skill, chaos, and the thrill of the Old West in a unique multiplayer experience.
Gameplay That Packs a Punch
"Ricochet Rodeo" isn't just another shooter; it's a physics-driven battle arena where every bullet can end the game — and they bounce. Players will need to dodge bullets, deflect shots with knives, toss dynamite, and, crucially, use the "Y" button not just to attack, but to dance. The game promises a blend of 50% skill and 200% chaos, ensuring that each match is unpredictably fun and engaging.
Designed for Accessibility and Fun
With minimalist controls optimized for a single Joy-Con, "Ricochet Rodeo" is accessible yet challenging, making it easy for players of all skill levels to jump in and enjoy. Whether you're playing couch co-op with friends or connecting online, the game supports up to 8 players in its colorful, retro pixel-art-styled arenas, enhanced by modern Unreal 5 technology for a nostalgic yet crisp visual experience.

Coming Soon to Steam and More
After a successful preview at Steam Next Fest, "Ricochet Rodeo" is gearing up for its first release on Steam this July, with plans to expand to all major consoles shortly thereafter. This ensures that no matter your preferred platform, you'll be able to join in the Wild West fun.
Join the Community and Beta Test
For those eager to get a taste of the action early, Echidna Studios is inviting players to join their Discord community. Members will gain access to the Closed Beta, providing a chance to experience the game before its official release and contribute to its final polish.
