Never seen anything like this!? It's a shooting and running game where numbers shoot numbers and merge them. Shoot the numbers in the stage to make them bigger, then collect and merge them. The more you merge the numbers, the bigger they become! The more you destroy the number walls that stand in your way at the end of the stage, the more money you'll earn. With that money, become even stronger! Now, how many times did I say 'numbers'? ※"Money" refers to the in-game currency --- Rated for ages 3+ by IGRS (Indonesian Games Rating System).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Number Merge Run at 4.6 against Push The Button's 2.4. Number Merge Run also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 10). Push The Button's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Number Merge Run sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Push The Button asks for nothing beyond the download.
Number Merge Run holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Number Merge Run has 4.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Push The Button's written reviews are positive against 37% of Number Merge Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
