Vex 5

Vex 5 is the fifth stickman platformer in the Vex series, and it asks you to survive running courses of saws, spikes and moving traps. It is a game of memory and timing rather than combat.

This entry is described as having new levels, achievements and traps. It has 10 standard acts, and finishing an act unlocks a hardcore version that rearranges and adds obstacles. There is also a Challenge Room mode with 30 levels, in which runs are timed and deaths are counted, plus four categories of trophies. The series is published by Azerion.

How to play Vex 5

The controls follow the rest of the series: keyboard movement for running, jumping and crouching, and wall climbing in some sections.

• Run with the left and right keys.
• Jump with the up key and crouch with the down key.
• Climb walls where the level allows it.
• Reach the end of the act and activate checkpoints on the way.

Tips for Vex 5

• Activate checkpoints as you pass them, because dying sends you back to the last one you touched.
• Replay the hardcore versions only after the normal act feels easy.
• Look at the stars and trophies list to choose what to chase.
• In the Challenge Room, try for a clean run; deaths are counted and time is tracked.
• Read the hazards in order: the moving blades first, then the platform edges, then your jump.
