Count Master
Manage a swarm of figurines in Count Master, an arcade obstacle-course running game. Players lead stickmen through numbered gates and obstacles.
Playing Count Master
- Start by learning the game UI, the running track, characters, and on-screen instructions.
- Master the Controls: Move your crew along the track using the in-game prompts.
- When evaluating numbered gates, check the value and mathematical symbol. Compare your options to see which is best for your group size.
- Avoiding Obstacles: Monitor your path and adapt as needed. Avoid focusing on the nearest gate and overlooking obstacles beyond it.
- Review Results: After a run, evaluate your results and critical decisions. Each effort will teach you how to balance gate selection and group mobility.

The following tips can improve results:
Pre-calculate Gate Selection
Consider more than the largest amount. Always verify the mathematical symbol to see if the gate will increase, multiply, or decrease your group.
If you have 10 characters, a "+15" gate will give you 25, whereas a "multiply by 2" gate will give you 20. The addition gate is better for group size in this case. See the Whole Path
A gate with a tempting incentive may not be the greatest choice if it has several hurdles. Look ahead to choose a course with the right rewards and dangers.
Change Direction Early
Waiting until an obstacle arises may be too late to change course. Watching from afar and changing course early lets you govern your group more effectively.
Keep Your Group Size
While adding characters is important, preserving your current size is crucial. A safe, consistent strategy may be better than a risky one for a modest gain.
Previous attempts teach
Review the times your group size reduced if the outcome wasn't what you wanted. Your next run may use different gates or adjust the timing of directional shifts.
FAQ
Why Are Numbered Gates Used?
Numbered gates change group size mathematically. The appropriate gates can boost your character count, while unfavorable ones can decrease it.
Can I Keep More Stickmen?
Consider each gate's value, watch for impediments, and move early. The aim is to balance group growth and loss prevention.
Get used to the controls, read the numbered gates, and learn how to grow your stickmen slowly during the voyage.
