Stick Merge

ABOUT THE GAME

is a simple-looking arcade game that quickly turns into a smart merging challenge. You start with basic stickman fighters and combine identical units to create stronger warriors. Each merge increases power, speed, and survivability, which directly affects how well your army performs in battle.

The game focuses on timing, placement, and decision-making rather than fast reactions. New enemies become tougher as you progress, forcing you to think ahead instead of merging randomly. Stick Merge works well for short sessions, but it also rewards players who enjoy optimizing their army over time.

How to Play

The core goal in Stick Merge is to build the strongest possible army through merging. You receive stickmen on the board and must combine two identical units to form a higher-level fighter.

As battles progress automatically, your preparation phase becomes the most important part of the game. Strong merges lead to quicker victories, while poor decisions can leave you underpowered against stronger waves.

You earn rewards after each fight, allowing you to unlock more units and continue upgrading your lineup.

Tips & Strategies

Merge evenly instead of rushing one unit to the highest level early
Keep free space on the board to allow flexible merges later
Focus on upgrading damage dealers before defensive units
Avoid starting battles if you still have easy merges available
Watch enemy strength increases and adjust your army accordingly

One thing that separates average players from good players in Stick Merge is patience. Many players merge as soon as possible, creating one strong unit but leaving the rest of the board weak. This often works early, but it fails once enemies scale up.

Better players balance their army. They keep multiple mid-level fighters instead of chasing a single high-level stickman too soon. This spreads damage more evenly during battles and reduces the risk of losing to sudden difficulty spikes.

Another common difference is board awareness. Skilled players leave open spaces and plan future merges instead of filling every slot immediately. This makes it easier to react when new units appear and prevents getting stuck with unmergeable fighters.
