About Vex 4

Vex 4 is a precision platformer that expects you to die a lot. Your stickman runs, jumps, slides, swims, wall-jumps and climbs through levels packed with buzzsaws, spikes, crushers and disappearing platforms, and the checkpoints are frequent because the deaths are constant.

The series has been a browser staple since 2011, and the fourth game added the act structure and a level editor. The controls are tight enough that every death feels like your mistake rather than the game's, which is exactly why people keep restarting.

1. Work through each act's levels, reaching the flag at the end.
2. Checkpoints save your progress within a level; deaths return you to the last one.

4. Collect the hidden stars in each level for completion.

Vex 4 tips

• Hold jump for height, tap for a short hop — most spike deaths are from a full-height jump you didn't need.
• Slide under saws rather than jumping over them; the hitbox is smaller crouched.
• Wall jumps need you to be moving into the wall. Press toward it, then jump.
• Learn the pattern in a section by dying to it deliberately once, then commit.
