An endless runner where the thing carrying you is temporary. Each mount has its own speed, jump and endurance, and keeping a run alive means lassoing a replacement before the current one runs out rather than simply avoiding obstacles. That makes the interesting decision constant: the animal ahead might be faster and harder to control, and taking it is a gamble you have to resolve at speed. Everything you catch is added to a zoo that grows between runs and produces income of its own, which gives the runs a purpose beyond the score and means a short run with a rare capture can be worth more than a long one without.

How to play Cowboy Safari
- Watch the endurance of your current mount rather than the obstacles. Running out is the most common failure.
- Lasso early rather than at the last moment, since the throw takes time to land.
- Take a slower mount when the terrain ahead is cluttered and a faster one on open ground.
- Collect resources on your existing line and never detour for them.
- Spend on habitats between runs. The zoo income is what makes later runs worthwhile.
Tips
- Rare animals are usually harder to ride, so catching one is only worth it if you can survive the next stretch on it.
- Each mount handles jumps differently, so recalibrate immediately after switching.
- A run that ends with a new species captured has already paid for itself.
