Concrete Cowboys proves that you do not need horses or a desert to earn the cowboy title. ELK Studios sends four construction workers onto the roof of a growing skyscraper, where coloured gems, dynamite, wrecking balls and Karen from HR make workplace safety feel very optional.
The setup immediately feels related to ELK’s other CollectR games, but this is one of the better attempts at expanding that formula rather than simply changing the characters. The grid can grow from 5×5 to 8×8, losing your Collectors can actually improve the board, and three completely different minigames sit alongside the regular Bonus round. It looks chaotic because it is chaotic, but most of that chaos feeds back into the same surprisingly smart collection system.
