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 rating: Light at 4.7 against Planet Squirrel's 3.7. Light also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (194K vs 3). Planet Squirrel's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Planet Squirrel asks for nothing beyond the download.
Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Light has 194K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Planet Squirrel's written reviews are positive against 75% of Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Planet Squirrel ships an update every 22 months, Light every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
