Count War

A small band of blue stickmen is all you get at the start of Count War, and turning it into an unstoppable army is entirely up to you. Guide the squad down a treacherous course where every gate you pass through is a chance to swell the ranks before the next clash.

The level never stops moving, so every call has to be made on the fly. Size up the gates ahead, drift toward the option that pays off best, and scoop up weapons that sharpen your soldiers' attacks. Pick the right line and you reach the enemy with both the headcount and the firepower to break through.

Waves of zombies are all that stand between your troops and victory. Roll into each brawl with the bigger force, watch your soldiers fight it out, and keep stacking reinforcements until every inch of the battlefield belongs to you.

Steer the blue army left and right while it advances forward through the level.

Computer: press A and D, or the Left and Right Arrow keys, to change direction.

Mobile: guide the army with the virtual joystick shown on screen.

Aim for the gates that add the most useful number of warriors, grab weapons along the way, and try not to walk into a fight before your squad is ready.

Victory comes down to arriving with a force that is both big enough and armed well enough to wipe out every zombie group. The gates you pick set how many fighters make it into the battle, while the weapons you gather decide how hard each of them hits.

Grab weapons whenever you can reach them without seriously weakening your squad. Extra gear raises your warriors' combat power, and that edge matters most when the enemy crowd is far bigger than yours.

Never judge a gate by the number printed on it. Weigh it against how many soldiers you already have and take the option that leaves you with the larger final total. Grow your ranks early, save the stronger multipliers for later, and keep your line positioned for the weapon pickups coming up.
