About Top Stick: A Pick-Up Sticks Puzzle
Top Stick is a pick-up sticks puzzle where a pile of colorful sticks lies on the table and the challenge is to clear it completely. Only the stick sitting on top of the pile — with nothing covering it — can be taken. That single constraint turns every pile into a logic problem: trace which stick covers which, find the free one, and work through the tangle one piece at a time.
The game offers endless levels, hard levels, boss levels, a daily puzzle, combos for quick moves, ranks, chests, unlockable themes, and support for 12 languages.
How to Play Top Stick: Clear the Pile
The goal each level is to remove every stick from the pile. A stick is only available when no other stick lies on top of it. Tapping a stick that is still pinned down costs a heart — each level gives three hearts, while boss levels allow only two. Run out of hearts and the level ends.
Correct moves made quickly in a row build a combo. For a hint, press H or tap the bulb button.
