Ricochet Rodeo is a new party game galloping to Steam on 12th November 2024. Developer Echidna Studios announced the news of its release at the same time that a 40% discount has been put on the player-versus-player brawler for the first week of sale. This is Echidna’s first title since incorporation and has been in development since 2020 as a part-time hobby project. The team consists of two team members who have a love for local multiplayer games and the chaos that ensues from them.

Ricochet Rodeo is a 2D platform PvP brawler game set in the wild (pixel) west. Up to eight players can enter the fray, wielding 6-shooters, knives, TNT, dancing shoes and one-hit kills. It’s also looking to be ported to consoles in 2025 but PC players can try a demo of the game available on its Steam page.

“Taking the plunge into self-publishing an online PvP game as a new studio is both nerve-wracking and rewarding.” Said Echidna Studios co-founder Alan Frazier, “With the fantastic feedback we’ve received at Pixel Expo, PAX Aus, and SXSW Sydney, we’re more excited than ever to share Ricochet Rodeo with players around the world and establish Echidna Studios.”
