Count Master Rush

Drag your crowd through gates, dodge saw blades, and grow from one stickman to a screaming horde of hundreds.

Count Master Rush is basically the mobile ad you've seen a thousand times, except it actually plays great. You start as a single stickman sprinting forward, and the only control is holding left mouse and dragging sideways. The more bodies you collect, the bigger your mob gets. Then you hit a gate that says "-12" and watch a dozen stickmen get chopped off your tail. It's simple, brutal, and weirdly satisfying. The real tension kicks in when you're cruising with 80 dudes and a giant spinning saw blade appears. You have to squeeze everyone through a gap while the horde keeps moving. I remember one run where I had 97 stickmen, got greedy at a "+40" gate, and lost 35 because I didn't drag fast enough. That's the whole game: greed vs. survival. Rounds last maybe a minute or two. The levels aren't super deep, but the rush of seeing your number spike when you hit a good multiplier gate is addictive. Perfect for a quick break. The controls are responsive enough on desktop, and there's no download or login, so it's easy to jump in. If you like games like Crowd City or Count Masters, this is the stripped-down version that just works.

Tap and Hold left mouse button & drag for left/right.

Don't hug the center: staying near edges lets you dodge saw blades faster when they spawn. Smaller hordes are easier to steer. If you're stuck, accept a loss and rebuild instead of fighting for every stickman. Aim for + gates even if they're risky; they can double your count and offset earlier losses. Pay attention to the floor markers: they show exactly where the next obstacle or gate will hit. When you see a gate with a minus sign, brace for the chop and try to position your pack so only the tail takes damage. If you're about to die, spam sharp drags left and right—sometimes the game lets you squeeze through last-second.
