Stick Merge Unblocked — Play Free Online

Stick Merge is a merge-and-shoot game by TinyDobbins, a studio whose other Poki games include PartyToons and several car-merging titles such as Merge Cyber Racers. It reached Poki in January 2021. The game has two halves that feed each other: a board where you combine guns into stronger ones, and a shooting range where stick figures move about and you take them down with whatever you have built.

Merging guns

New weapons arrive on your board, starting with simple pistols. Click a gun and drag it onto an identical one to fuse the pair into the next weapon up the ladder, which leads from handguns toward machine guns and shotguns. When a new gun is unlocked, the game shows an "unlocked!" card and you can pick it for the range. If a fight goes badly, the hint is always the same: try to merge a higher-level gun.

Guns on the board also earn money while you play, and the game totals up offline earnings for the time you were away. Taking out enemies pays cash and XP, and gaining a level brings up a "level up!" screen.

Shooting

Aiming is the simplest part. Move the mouse so the crosshair passes over a target and your gun fires on its own; there is no separate trigger. Quick kills in a row are called out on screen, climbing from "double kill" and "triple kill" through "rampage" and "monster kill" up to "GODLIKE". If you lose, a revive option can put you back into the fight.

Boosts and extras

• Drone's drop: a timed boost that improves the guns dropped onto your board.
• Turbo: a timed mode, with an offer to add more seconds when it runs low.
• Coins x2 and income x2: multipliers on what you collect.
• Lucky wheel: a spin with a free turn on a timer.
• Shop: hats sorted into basic, epic, legendary and special; legendary hats unlock during special events.

Seasonal challenges change the targets. In the Halloween challenge you shoot pumpkins for points and must avoid dynamite, and the Christmas challenge swaps in snowmen with bombs you should leave alone. The game suggests auto-rifle guns for these rounds.

Tips

• Merge as soon as two matching guns appear. One higher-tier weapon beats a board full of low-level ones in the range.
• Keep the crosshair moving smoothly across groups of stick figures to chain kills.
• In the seasonal rounds, slow your aim near dynamite and bombs, because hitting them costs you.
