Temple Of Boom! is an action-survival platformer with dungeon-crawl and shooter elements. The player's primary goal is to survive monsters and other enemies that appear in waves for as long as possible.
The game features single-player and two-player options. The player or players can then select a campaign or endless mode. The game features three temples. The player must direct their avatar to survive the first one to unlock the other ones.
The first temple features a room with brown and tan bricks and stones. The player's avatar has a gun. Enemies start to appear from the sides of the room. While the player can only direct their avatar to run and jump, the enemies can perform other feats, such as climbing walls. Enemies include bipedal monsters, figures in robes and giant spiders. The player directs their avatar to hide from these enemies and then attack in ways similar to the guerilla tactics used in airsoft, paintball and laser tag games.
Temple Of Boom! supplies the player with a wide selection of weapons in treasure chests placed throughout each temple, including pistols, crossbows, big shots, bazookas, blade launchers and phaser rifles. The player can also pick up fallen ammo and health kits.
