Introduction
Stick Merge is a casual action and merging game developed by TinyDobbins, blending strategy with fast-paced shooting. In this addictive game, you combine weapons to create more powerful guns, which you then use to take down moving stick-figure targets in a shooting range. Its simple yet engaging mechanics, paired with a minimalistic stickman art style, make it appealing to both casual and dedicated gamers. The goal is to build an ultimate arsenal, upgrade your weapons, and become the top shooter by mastering merging and combat challenges.
How to play
Merge weapons
- Start with basic weapons, like pistols, displayed at the bottom of the screen.
- Drag and drop one weapon onto an identical one to merge them, creating a stronger gun (e.g., two level 1 pistols merge into a level 2 gun).
- You can only merge weapons of the same level, and higher-level weapons deal more damage.
- Continue merging to unlock up to 50 unique weapon levels, including shotguns, sniper rifles, and machine guns.
Shooting range
- Once you’ve merged weapons, drag your upgraded gun to the shooting range at the top of the screen.
- Aim your crosshair at moving stick-figure enemies by moving your mouse or tapping on mobile. The game features auto-shooting, so you only need to aim accurately.
- Enemies may hide behind obstacles, requiring precise timing to hit them when exposed.
- Survive waves of enemies, which get tougher as levels progress.
Earn and spend resources
- Defeating enemies earns coins and sometimes diamonds.
- Use coins to buy more weapons from the shop to keep merging or to upgrade existing ones.
- Diamonds can be spent on character customizations or special items.
Power-Ups and upgrades
- Collect power-ups like coin doublers, bullet speed boosts, or damage increases to gain temporary advantages.
- Upgrade your weapons’ damage, fire rate, or ammo capacity to improve performance.
- Strategic use of power-ups is key during challenging waves.
