Run and Count is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Run and Count asks you to think before you act. There is no clock chasing you in most levels — only a board, a set of rules, and the pleasure of the solution clicking into place. From the tags you can already tell that it is a runner — your character moves forward automatically and you steer, jump or dodge; the core mechanic involves numbers and arithmetic.

What makes a good puzzle game? Usually hints or undo options, levels that teach one idea at a time and a gentle but real difficulty curve — and Run and Count has each of them in some measure.

Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
