Do A Barrel Roll??

Do A Barrel Roll?? is a challenging platforming game about climbing a mountain. You control a rolling barrel, using skill and knowledge of each level to navigate hazards, limit the cost of mistakes and find possible routes or ways to save a run. How far you climb is up to you.

Control the barrel

Move the cursor around the barrel to spin it, then click the ground to jump in the opposite direction. Spinning and jumping affect each other, so you must manage the barrel’s momentum while aiming your jumps and watching the level.

The barrel keeps rolling, but on flat ground, when it is almost still, you can press Escape to stand up and look farther ahead. This lets you assess possible routes and ways to recover from a mistake. If you do nothing after a fall, you may lose all your progress, so spotting danger and acting quickly can limit the damage.

Learn each area

Each area has its own theme and characters. The first area serves as a training ground, introducing most of the basic tricks. Every later area adds a new level mechanic, and puts your ability to use the tricks to the test.

Progress also involves working out how to use the available mechanics to get through each level. The game’s controls support both platforming and puzzle-like problem-solving.
