    Every yellow barrel is worth 10 points.
    Every fifth barrel is red, worth 25 points.

    The second barrel in a row is worth x2 points.
    The third barrel in a row is worth x3 points.
    The fourth and every barrel afterwards in a row is worth x4 points.
    -On this multiplier, red barrels are worth 100 points.

    The hoop moves left to right. The pump on the left of the hoop has two functions.
    -The hoop changes speed every time it hits the pump. It appears to change randomly, and it does not change when the hoop hits the right side.
    -The score multiplier changes based on whether a barrel went in after the last time the hoop hit the pump. If none went in during that timeframe, the multiplier resets to x1.

    Tips & Tricks
    -Even if you look straight ahead, there's a randomness to your kicks. It will usually fly straight, but it may veer left or right. Good luck.
    -If you never miss a barrel, you'll hit 3000 in 60 barrels.
    -Look straight ahead, don't move the mouse.
    -Try and time your barrels to land after the hoop hits the right side. While looking straight ahead, on the slowest speed, kick the barrel as soon as the hoop hits the right side. On faster speeds, time your kicks to just before the hoop hits the right side.
    -For optimized kicks, wait til the barrel settles on the ground. Your kicks may fall short if you kick it while it's still bouncing on the ground.
    -Obviously, you're more likely to miss if the hoop is moving faster. In this regard, if you see the hoop moving too fast, it may be a better idea to wait for the hoop to slow down. It's better to lose just the multiplier than the barrel as well.
    -There will be a lot of times where the barrel rides on the hoop and doesn't go in. It's frustrating, but stay focused. Get a feeling on when the hoop hits the right side and time your kicks.
    -The multiplier only goes up once even if you get two barrels in during the same timeframe. For example, you kick a barrel and it rides on the hoop but doesn't go in until after it hits the pump. Then you kick your next barrel and it swoops in. The multiplier resets to x1 and then only goes up to x2, even though you get two in at the same time. This is also frustrating.

    I hit 3005 on kick 99, after about 2 hours of attempts. Good luck.
