What's New in Sticks HD

2.7.0

July 12, 2026

** 2.7.0 - current release ** Jumping into a game is faster than ever — pick your mode right from the main menu, see your personal best at a glance, and tap to dive straight in. The game-over screen now lets you rematch, swap modes, or head home in a single tap, and cheers you on when you come oh-so-close. Reminders got personal too, calling you back by name at just the right moment. ** 2.6.1 ** Multiplayer invites are back on track — challenge a friend and drop into the exact same pile, no hiccups. Craving some quiet? You can now switch off reminder notifications whenever you like. Plus a handy Back button on the mode screen to keep things smooth. ** 2.6.0 ** Challenge the world! The new Multiplayer mode pits you against a real opponent on the exact same pile — 60 seconds, and every stick they grab vanishes from your board too. Miss a pick and you lose points, and in the final 10 seconds everything counts double. May the fastest fingers win! ** 2.5.0 ** No Merci Mode has arrived — waves of sticks, zero tolerance for mistakes. One slip and it's over. Returning players can now pick their name at game over instead of typing it every single time. ** 2.4.2 ** We've fine-tuned things under the hood — smoother, snappier, and ready for what's next. ** 2.4.1 ** Rewarded ads now work as intended — watch an ad, continue your game, no hiccups. Feel every move: haptic feedback brings the game to life — from picking sticks to the final countdown. Toggle it on or off in settings. ** 2.4.0 ** Game over? Not so fast. Watch a quick ad to continue right where you left off — no restart, no lost streak. Notifications got a glow-up too: 50 fresh, cheeky messages to nudge you back in when the sticks are calling. ** and more ** Tutorial mode, multilingual support, precise touch controls, remove-ads purchase, audio improvements, and a brand-new design.

Bouton pose ne marche plus, et des bâtons qui restent bloqués même quand ceux-ci devraient disparaître.
