Vex Games - 5 Episodes - Play Free Online

These Vex games are super-fun stickman puzzle games. Train your concentration and reaction time while having fun!

These Vex games are part of the free online brain games collection.

To begin, click the Small, Medium, or Large button under the picture of the game. This opens the game in a pop-up window. There are five versions of Vex available on this page: Vex 3, Vex 4, Vex 5, Vex 6, and Vex 7.

In Vex, you are a simple stickman trying to escape the traps that surround you. Run, jump, slide, and climb your way through each level. The levels are called Acts, as in Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, and so on.

Use the WASD keys or Arrow Keys to move your stickman. Just start playing, and you'll see that in-game instructions are provided as you move along.

If you like the Vex games, you might enjoy other platform puzzle games including Bob the Robber, Snail Bob (no relation ), and Fireboy and Watergirl.

Vex Games - Instructions

The idea of Vex is to escape traps to solve each level. You get unlimited lives, so be bold and jump right in.

NOTE: Once you complete an Act, your stickman respawns next to the entrance of that Act. Go to the next Act by traveling elsewhere on the screen. You can re-enter the same Act if you want a higher score, but to move on you need to find the entrance to the next Act.

For example, after you complete Act 1, do not re-enter the Act 1 box unless you wish to repeat that level. Instead, run elsewhere on the screen and locate the Act 2 entry box.

Rather than having a separately displayed tutorial, these Vex games instruct as you go along. For example, in Vex 3, the first instruction (which appears in Act 1) says, "Move with the arrowkeys or WASD."

Following that, you'll see "Jump from side to side to get up" a wall. Then, "Play new Acts by standing on their Act block." These are like starting points and are labled Act 1, Act 2, and so on.

Some other "getting started" instructions:

"Press down to enter stage, Follow the arrows to reach the end, While running, hold down to slide, Purple blocks are quite weak, Orange blocks bounce you really high, and You can look around the stage while standing still."

As you make progress through each Act (each level), you'll reach periodic checkpoints. If you get caught in a trap, your stickman regenerates at the most recent checkpoint you completed.
