Count Masters is an action game about growing an army through clone portals and guiding it past obstacles to the finish line. Portal choices affect the size of the group, while dodging hazards helps preserve its strength on the way forward.
Grow the army through portal choices
As you progress through a level, choose clone portals to increase the number of people in your army. This makes counting part of the decision-making: the aim is to build a larger group while navigating the route. The game describes its battles as taking different forms, but does not specify separate rules for them.
Dodge hazards and preserve team members
Chainsaws, spikes, and enemies are among the obstacles to avoid. Keeping more members of the group intact matters because the finish-line score multiplier is tied to preserving the team. The stated objective is to reach the end with the largest army possible and pursue a high score.
Score and unlock outfits
Reaching the finish line provides the point at which the army’s size contributes to the score. Players can aim for high scores against their own results and those of others. Points can also be collected to unlock outfits for the character, offering an additional goal alongside growing and protecting the army.
