Layer Master is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. Think stickman and block & tetris-like — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Layer Master
One of the most amazing features of the game is how simple it is. All you have to do is collect the hoops scattered all over the track and avoid obstacles in the form of blocks and other stickman in order to defeat the boss at the end! The more hoops you collect, the bigger your head will be, which can give you a nice bonus at the final stage of the level. What are you waiting for? Start playing right now and test your dexterity and concentration skills. Pass all the obstacles in your way and destroy the boss! Whether you are looking for a fun way to pass the time or you are an experienced gamer, this game is sure to provide you with hours of entertainment.
How to play Layer Master
There is very little to learn before your first run. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
Layer Master is the kind of game that fits into a gap between other things. Two minutes is a real session, and so is an hour. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
