Stick Merge Master Class

Stick Merge Master Class mixes a merge puzzle with a shooting range in a sunny desert village. Between days you combine weapons into stronger ones; during a day you knock down stick figures that pop up from cover. The game’s own hint says it all: move the crosshairs over a target to fire.

How to play

1. Press START. The day number is in the top-right corner, and the target counter in the top-left (on day 1 you need five).
2. Move the crosshairs over a stick figure. The gun fires by itself while it is on the target.
3. Watch the ammunition counter in the bottom-left corner and press the reload button next to it when you run low.
4. Hit the day’s targets to finish the day, earn coins and get more weapons to merge.

Merging

Drag two equal weapons together and they become the next, stronger weapon. The game has five weapon families: pistols, rifles, automatic rifles, shotguns and sniper rifles, each with several levels.

What we found when we played it

• You start day 1 with a pistol and eight rounds in the magazine.
• Your health bar (100 at the start) sits at the bottom of the screen, so the stick figures fight back.
• Coins pay for upgrades, and the game also keeps earning a little while you are away.

Tips

• Merge whenever you can. A stronger gun needs fewer shots per target.
• Put the crosshairs where a figure will appear, not where it was.
• Reload between targets, not in the middle of a fight.
