Pick (up) Sticks is a classic family game, typically with slender 'sticks' which are scattered in a heap and then you have to remove one at a time without disturbing any of the others - this is the computer version, simplified by replacing heap fragility with time constraints. Here, you have to correctly identify the 'top'-most stick/pencil and tap on it, in turn - but against the clock...

Here's Pick Sticks in action:

Presentation here is first rate - though not obvious from the screenshot, the menu items and the banner ad all 'wiggle', in fun 'click me' fashion. Very slick and cute.

The game itself is surprisingly addictive and challenging. While it only takes the eyes and mind a second or so to spot which pencil is 'on top', add in the time constraints and you'll realise you have, typically, less than a second for each one. In fact, as 'Survival' mode progresses, you'll have less and less time to spot and tap on each stick/pencil, with the time limit being reduced by 5 seconds for each stack cleared. Gulp.

In 'Normal' mode, the goal is to take as few seconds as possible to clear the random stack, with your high scores recorded (though with no global/online option), so that you can try to beat your previous best times. 

An excellent casual game. You can download Pick Sticks for free here in the Nokia Store.
