The best parkour-inspired action game is now available! Vector lets you break free and run! Don't get caught! Vector is an exciting, arcade-style game featuring you as the exceptional free runner who won’t be held down by the system. The game opens with a view into a totalitarian world where freedom and individually is nothing more than a distant dream. But the heart of a freerunner is strong, and you soon break free. Run, vault, slide and climb using extraordinary techniques based on the urban ninja sport of Parkour all while being chased by “Big Brother” who’s sole purpose is to capture you and bring you back. Inspired by the practice and principles of Parkour, Vector’s intuitive controls please players of all levels, and sophisticated level designs challenge the most demanding players with fast-paced timing puzzles as the traceur “flows” over the dystopian rooftops. Game Features: - Arcade gameplay from the makers of the Shadow Fight games - Astoundingly lifelike Parkour-inspired moves made possible by Cascadeur animation tools - 40+ challenging levels - Quick to learn, challenging to master The Press Loves Vector: “The way Vector mimics the movements of real-life parkour practitioners is quite impressive... I can’t wait to be entrapped in Vector’s promising mix of direction and magnitude.” (appadvice.com) “Vector is thrilling, rich in variety and it reminds us of Stick Run, but offers much more elaborate animations.” (fbgamer.de) "The only cool way to run from all your problems."

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lil Ninja at 100% against Vector Classic's 55%. Lil Ninja also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Vector Classic's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 33 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vector Classic has 2.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Vector Classic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lil Ninja's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vector Classic ships an update every 4 months, Lil Ninja every 33 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
