Sticky Run: Numbers is an innovative mobile game that combines auto-shooting mechanics with strategic cannon management. Players control a formation of cannons by swiping left or right, allowing them to navigate through a series of obstacles while automatically firing at enemies. The objective is to survive as long as possible, utilizing a unique merging system that enhances the firepower and durability of the cannons. As players progress, they can absorb idle cannons encountered on their path, creating a more formidable weaponry to tackle the challenges ahead.

The game features transformation gates that allow players to switch between horizontal and vertical formations. The horizontal row provides a wider attack range, making it easier to deal with scattered obstacles, while the vertical column offers concentrated firepower for tougher targets. Players must strategically maneuver their cannons to break through barriers, as collisions result in losing cannons. Game over occurs when all cannons are destroyed, adding an element of challenge to the gameplay.
