About Vex 5
Vex 5 brings the stickman back for another round of nerve-testing obstacle courses. Every level is a string of traps, and the only way through is clean movement and good timing.
This installment adds new levels and new kinds of traps to learn, along with a set of achievements for players who like extra goals. Mistakes are part of the process, and pressing R puts you right back at the start of the level, so you can try again without waiting. The controls are kept simple, using WASD or the arrow keys, which lets you focus entirely on the hazards in front of you.
How to play Vex 5
- WASD or arrow keys - run and jump
- R - reset the current level
Playing Vex 5 on a computer
Mistakes are part of Vex 5, and R restarts the current level instantly, so use it instead of limping on. Play now opens the game's own launch screen; press PLAY to continue, and a short ad may run. Run and jump with WASD or the arrow keys. This installment adds new trap types, so take your first attempt at each level slowly to learn every hazard's timing.
Playing Vex 5 on a phone or tablet
Vex 5 is keyboard-only. Clean runs through its trap chains need a direction and a jump pressed together, plus R for quick restarts, and the game lists no touch controls. Tackle the trap chains on a laptop, desktop or Chromebook. Vex 6 is the series entry with on-screen buttons, and other phone-friendly games are labeled "Desktop and mobile".
On a phone right now? Try Coreball, Bottle Jump 3D and Drift Boss - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Learn each trap's timing before you try to rush past it.
- Hit R the moment a run goes wrong, because a quick reset beats limping on.
