Number Master: Run and merge

What the Number Master game is

Number Master: Run and merge is an action game from KAYAC Inc. You control a number that gets bigger by taking in smaller numbers scattered across each stage. It is listed in the Action category and rated 7+.

The aim is to grow large enough to reach the goal at the end of a stage. Once there, the game shifts to a different challenge built around walls.

Swiping to move and growing by absorbing numbers

Movement is controlled by swiping. Hitting a number smaller than yours absorbs it, so your number increases. Hitting a number larger than yours loses you that number, and you have to start the stage again.

Because growth depends on which numbers you meet, the route through a stage determines how big you are when you reach the goal.

Hazards between the start and the goal

Each stage includes electric saws, bridges to cross and ditches to jump. The listing presents clearing these as the way to reach the goal, so the route is a mix of avoiding and getting over obstacles.

Hazards and smaller numbers appear together, so you have to decide which to collect and which to avoid while you move.

Breaking walls at the goal with bigger numbers

Reaching the goal does not end a stage. Walls wait there, and each one has to be broken with a number large enough to do it. The listing describes breaking them one by one to find out what is past them.
