Frequently Asked Questions about Vex

How do you play Vex?
Use the arrow keys or WASD to run left and right. Press Space, Up, or W to jump. The key advanced mechanic is wall jumping — press into a wall while falling, then jump to bounce off it and gain height. Reach the gold exit portal at the end of each Act to progress.
What is wall jumping in Vex?
Wall jumping lets you climb vertical shafts and reach otherwise impossible heights. Jump toward a wall, then the moment you touch it and start sliding down, quickly press jump again to bounce off in the opposite direction. Chain two or three wall jumps in a narrow shaft to reach the top.
How many acts does Vex have?
This version has 5 Acts with increasing difficulty. Act I introduces basic gap jumping and spikes. Act II adds a moving platform. Act III focuses on chains of moving platforms. Act IV introduces wall-jump shafts. Act V combines everything for the final challenge. Your progress through acts is saved automatically.
Can I play Vex on mobile?
Yes! Use the on-screen left and right buttons to move, and the JUMP button to jump. Wall jumping works on mobile too — just make sure you tap JUMP while pressed against a wall.
What happens when I touch a spike in Vex?
You die and respawn at the last checkpoint you activated (the green flag markers). If you have not reached a checkpoint yet, you respawn at the start of the Act. Deaths are tracked but there is no life limit — you can try as many times as you need.

About Vex

Vex is a stick figure parkour platformer that challenges you with brutal spike-filled obstacle courses across 5 progressively harder Acts. The original Flash-era Vex became a school favourite for its tight controls and satisfying difficulty curve — every death feels fair, and every cleared section feels earned. This browser version captures that same spirit with the wall-jump mechanic that defines the series: by sliding down a wall and timing your jump, you can launch yourself sideways and upward, reaching heights that would otherwise be impossible. Acts I and II ease you in with gap jumps and spikes. Act III chains moving platforms across wide chasms. Act IV introduces vertical wall-jump shafts lined with ceiling spikes. Act V throws everything at you at once. Checkpoints within each Act mean you will not lose all your progress on a single mistake, but the death counter keeps a honest record of every attempt.

How to Play
