Our take on Barrel Boot Camp
Rather than building around a story campaign or a sequence of varied combat encounters, this action game centers on repeating discrete shooting courses. Its main measure of progress is score performance, with speed and shot count shaping each run.
What is Barrel Boot Camp?
Barrel Boot Camp is a competitive barrel-shooting game built around score rankings.
It has 12 courses across four stages, with three courses in each stage. The objective is to hit all barrels as quickly as possible while using as few shots as possible, then compare scores on Steam leaderboards. Controller support covers aiming and movement through the courses. Instructions and a scoring breakdown are available in the menu. Settings can be configured, and barrel appearance can be adjusted with a high-visibility option and RGB color sliders. The game also includes 19 Steam achievements, along with music, sound effects, and ambient audio.
