Concrete Box :

The comically-ominous wooden-target shooter Shotwood, developed and published by UK-based solo-developer studio Concrete Box, is no longer in early access following the recent release of the huge "Tactical Toolset" update. This update brought an enormous list of improvements, balancing adjustments, bug fixes, and polish to the game, along with a new game mode and a whole new category of equipment; the tactical tools.


This update added kamikaze drones - players can now launch, fly, and detonate grenade-sized explosive drones! The new Augmented Visor highlights target locations through walls, adding a unique twist to the tactical room-clearing genre. With the new Sidearm Camera, it's now possible to blind-fire accurately, taking out targets around corners and over cover with complete precision. Meanwhile the experimental 120hz refresh rate (on Quest 2 & 3) makes the entire experience incredibly smooth.


There's so much more in this update. For the full list, please see the developer post:

With this latest update, following more than five years of dedicated solo-development, Shotwood is now one of the most polished and complete experiences in the entire App Lab catalogue. To request a review key, or for anything else, please email: [email protected]
