Ben 10: Up to Speed for Android

Quick summary

Ben 10: Up to Speed is a fast-paced runner/adventure title set in the Ben 10 universe. Players sprint through a variety of stages, pick up boosts, and use alien abilities to overcome obstacles. The central hook is Ben discovering an alien wrist device that lets him assume powerful forms — he must battle foes and clear tougher stages to progress.

Story setup and inspiration

The game's opening storyline mirrors the TV episode "And Then There Were 10": Ben finds the Omnitrix in a wooded area and experiences his first onscreen transformation into Heatblast in this adaptation (notably, the series originally showed Four Arms as his first change). The plot then propels Ben through increasingly dangerous encounters as he uncovers more of the device’s powers.

Gameplay mechanics

Players experience the action from a running perspective, moving through multiple paths and tackling environmental hazards. Ben can morph into different alien heroes, each with their own strengths, to gain speed, power, or special movement options. Each level gives access to three selectable alien forms, and along the way you collect power-ups, choose routes, and face combat challenges. The title also incorporates voice samples taken from episodes of the animated series, adding authentic audio cues to the experience.

Opponents you’ll face

• Hex — a boss who relies on sinister sorcery and tricky spells.
• Flying Drone — a nimble airborne enemy that tests timing and dodging.
• Dr. Animo — a major adversary who mixes mad-science tactics with feral transformations.
• Monster Books — enchanted volumes that attack in unpredictable bursts.
• Slurpstack — a large-scale boss whose size and reach force strategic play.
• Vilgax’s Drone — technology-driven foes sent by Vilgax to impede you.
• Zombozo — a deceptive clown boss that uses tricks and misdirection.
• Clowns — smaller, chaotic foes that swarm and distract.
• Giant Drone — a powerful, mechanized boss blending tech and brute force.
• Madcow — a bizarre, aggressive creature that charges players unexpectedly.
• Napoleon — an enemy with unique movement patterns and surprising attacks.
• Monster Teddy — deceptively cute enemies that hide dangerous behavior.

Playable alien forms

• XLR8 — excels at speed and quick maneuvers for shortcutting hazards.
• Four Arms — provides raw strength for smashing through barriers and enemies.
• Heatblast — offers fire-based attacks useful for clearing obstacles and dealing steady damage.

Each level typically limits you to three selectable forms, encouraging players to swap strategically depending on the route and enemies encountered.
