The Rodeo Stampede Soft Launch was a beta release of the game prior to the official release, version 1.0.0 on the 22nd of June 2016. It had 2 versions, versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0. The purpose of the soft launch was to promote the game and for Featherweight Games to gain some feedback about controls, ideas and reception. The player play both Savannah and Jungle, however, many animals that the player could tame in Savannah were cut from the official release. On the other hand, Jungle animals have remained largely the same.

Other Differences[]
- The soft launch had a second control mechanism option, where the player could choose to flick in the direction they wanted to jump instead of releasing.
- The control of the game was also a bit unresponsive, which was tweaked for the official release.
- The Rodeo Stampede logo as it is now had not yet been designed, so the game used a different logo.
