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.

Vector Classic's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
