Vex Unblocked | Free Platformer No Download

What Is Vex?

Vex is a stick figure platformer from the Flash game era. You run a small stick figure through obstacle courses full of spikes, gaps, and moving platforms. The defining mechanic is wall jumping: jump into a wall while falling, then jump again to launch yourself sideways and upward. This lets you climb shafts that would otherwise be impassable.

The original Flash version stopped working when browsers dropped Flash support in 2020. This browser version recreates the same gameplay using modern HTML5 Canvas — no plugins, no download, no sign-up.

The 5 Acts

Act I – First Steps

The tutorial act. Platform gaps to jump, a handful of floor spikes, and two checkpoints. Gets you comfortable with movement and basic jumping before anything fancy.

Act II – Spike Alley

Spikes cluster up in this act. You also meet your first moving platform — a purple block that slides back and forth over a gap. Wait for it to be in position, then time your jump.

Act III – Moving Ground

Multiple moving platforms, including one that moves vertically. You spend most of this act hopping between platforms in motion. Rhythm and patience matter more than raw speed.

Act IV – Wall Runner

Two vertical shafts require wall jumping to climb. There are ceiling spikes above the exit ledges to force precision. The trickier act — take your time learning the shaft geometry.

Act V – Endgame

Everything from the previous four acts at once: spike runs, moving platforms, a wall-jump shaft, and a long final dash to the exit. You can replay individual acts from the settings menu once you have unlocked them.

Wall Jumping Tips

Wall jumping is the skill that separates average players from good ones:

1. Run into the wall, don't approach at an angle.
2. The moment you touch the wall and start sliding, press jump.
3. Press the opposite direction as you jump to build speed away from the wall.
4. In tight shafts, alternate left wall → right wall → left wall to zigzag upward.

The timing window is generous. If you miss, just slide back down and try again — you will not lose a life for touching a wall.

Checkpoints

Green flag markers throughout each Act save your position. Touch them as you pass. If you die, you respawn at the last checkpoint you hit, not the act start. The death counter tracks attempts but there is no limit — try as many times as you need.
