It’s a dark world out there for a teeny little stickman like you, and it’s about time you light it up. Jump, flip and slide from one neon shape to another to make them glow. Collect stars as you play to raise your score. Just when you start to feel like a stickman boss, things get complicated (or “sticky,” if you will) as you pass levels. Shapes start moving, rotating and even exploding, and lethal spikes become a constant threat to your poor little stickman life. If you miss a jump or hit a spike… you fall into oblivion!

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Stack at free with in-app purchases against Light's subscription. Stack also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). Light's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 53%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Light sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59K and 194K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Stack's written reviews are positive against 75% of Light's.
Stack ships an update every 10 days, Light every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
