Stick Merge

Stick Merge is a progressive idle-combat game where you manage an armory of weapons and combine them to increase your stickman’s firepower. You start with basic gear, but by merging duplicates and unlocking new tools, you create increasingly powerful weapons capable of dealing with stronger waves of enemies. The game balances merging strategy with real-time attack upgrades, offering a mix of passive play and tactical involvement.

Merging Weapons and Managing Inventory

Your armory fills up with duplicate weapons that can be dragged onto one another to merge. Merging two identical guns creates a stronger version that does more damage, has better accuracy, and can fire faster. Managing your inventory grid becomes critical, as space is limited. Prioritizing merges, selling outdated weapons, and keeping enough variety lets you optimize every run.

• Drag identical weapons together to merge them into upgraded versions.
• Sell low-tier gear for coins when inventory space runs out.
• Balance slots between saving weapons and active combat use.
• Higher-tier weapons have special effects like splash or burn.

Combat System and Enemy Waves

In the background, your stickman uses the best weapon you’ve equipped to shoot incoming enemies. Each enemy wave is tougher than the last, requiring you to continually upgrade your arsenal. Some enemies move quickly or spawn in groups. Others may require armor-piercing damage. As your weapon tier increases, so does the effectiveness of your attacks.

• Choose one weapon to equip from your inventory grid.
• Wave indicators help you prepare before harder groups arrive.
• Bosses appear periodically with high HP and resistances.
• Special ammo types unlock at higher weapon levels.

Progression, Upgrades, and Efficiency

Outside of merging, players can upgrade passive income, speed up merge timers, or unlock new weapon types. Efficiency becomes important as you progress—managing your time and grid layout can greatly affect your performance. Strategic merges early on lead to compounding advantages later, especially when higher-tier weapons are involved in future fusions.

• Passive income upgrades let you accumulate coins over time.
• New weapon tiers expand your merge options dramatically.
• Prestige options may reset progress in exchange for long-term boosts.

Stick Merge is a fusion-based upgrade game that combines planning and real-time combat automation. It allows for flexible playstyles, offering both idle progression and merge-focused optimization that scale with your decisions across levels and weapons.
