Stick Merge

Stick Merge is a strategic merging shooter where players combine different types of weapons to create stronger firepower and eliminate stick enemies across a series of levels. The game blends idle mechanics with tactical shooting challenges that require good planning and precision.

How Merging Works

The core mechanic in Stick Merge revolves around combining two identical weapons to create a more powerful one. Players begin with basic pistols and gradually unlock new weapon types by continuously merging. The goal is to upgrade your firepower enough to survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies.

• Each weapon tier has a unique shooting style and damage output.
• Merging two level 1 guns results in a level 2 gun, and so on.
• Strategic placement on the board allows optimal coverage of targets.

Shooting Mechanics and Combat

Enemies approach in waves, and weapons auto-fire when positioned. Players must make decisions in real time—either continue upgrading or expand their gun layout. Stick Merge emphasizes balance between merging and immediate firepower. Missing the timing often results in letting enemies reach the end of the screen, which leads to game over.

Progression and Upgrades

As the game advances, new slots and gun types become available. There are also upgrade opportunities such as:

1. Increasing firing speed.
2. Unlocking explosive or elemental projectiles.
3. Expanding the board to accommodate more weapons.

Stick Merge stands out because it combines idle strategy with interactive combat. The pacing rewards planning, but there’s always action on the screen, making it engaging from early levels to the most intense stages.

For those who enjoy balancing resource management with fast-paced defense gameplay, Stick Merge offers a compact yet satisfying experience that scales in complexity as you advance.
