💣 Combat Mechanics

• Aiming & Firing: Drag your mouse to move the crosshair over enemies; your weapon will auto-fire automatically. Before an enemy shoots you, an exclamation mark (!) will flash above their head, giving you about one second to take them out first.

• Health Pool: Your stickman starts with 100 HP. Every bullet you take deducts 5 HP.

• Victory/Defeat: Successfully gun down every enemy in the stage to clear the level. If your HP hits zero before the area is cleared, you fail the level.

👉 Gun Merging

• Armory Slots: You start with only 4 grid slots. As you merge weapons, you gain experience. Leveling up expands your armory, up to a maximum of 12 slots.

• Merge Rule: A gun's level is shown in the bottom right corner of its icon. Drag and drop two identical guns (same type and level) onto each other to instantly merge them into the next tier of weaponry!

• Weapon Evolution: Different guns have unique visual and combat effects, but higher-tier guns are universally stronger. You'll start with a peashooter pistol, evolve into assault rifles, and eventually wield heavy ordnance like grenade launchers!

🏆 Economy & Currency

• Passive Income: Guns sitting in your armory slots automatically generate Coins every second. The higher the gun's tier, the faster it prints money!

• Shop Unlocks: As you craft higher-tier guns, the Shop's inventory expands. Generally, the highest level gun you can buy in the shop is exactly 3 levels lower than your absolute highest unlocked weapon.

• Dynamic Pricing: Every time you buy a specific gun from the shop, its price increases.

• Extra Rewards: Beating levels rewards you with Coins and Gems. Gems can be used in the vault to unlock stylish hats and skins for your stickman avatar!

Is there a fast way to get more coins?

Absolutely! You can watch short ads to temporarily boost your gun's coin generation rate. You can also spin the Lucky Wheel to win massive piles of Coins, Gems, or even premium Gun Crates!

Why can't I buy the high-level guns in the shop?

The Shop's inventory is strictly tied to your merging progress. The rule is: The best gun you can buy is always 3 levels below the highest gun you have successfully merged yourself. If you want to buy better guns, you have to do the work and merge them on your board first!

Do higher-level guns actually play differently, or just have bigger numbers?

Yes, they play differently! Beyond just flat stat boosts (like higher damage and faster fire rate), different tiers introduce entirely new weapon classes. You'll upgrade from semi-auto pistols to full-auto rifles, shotguns, and explosive launchers, providing massive visual upgrades and much stronger crowd-clearing capabilities in combat.
