About Vex 6

Vex 6 is the sixth main entry in the stickman platformer series, and the entry where the format settled into its clearest shape: a set of acts, each a dense obstacle course ending in a green exit portal, built to be died in repeatedly. You run, jump, slide and cling to walls through spikes, buzzsaws, darts and crumbling blocks, and the game expects most attempts at any given section to fail. What separates Vex from a punishing platformer is how cheap it makes that failure.

The series started as the work of an independent developer usually credited as Amazing Adam, who released the first two Vex games in 2013 during the late Flash era. Vex 3 made the jump to HTML5 and joined the Azerion portfolio, and from Vex 4 onward the series has been produced by Azerion's in-house casual games studio. The version on LemonArcade is the official GameDistribution-licensed browser build, not a re-upload, so it carries the full act list and save progress.

The core of the design is the checkpoint economy. Red flags are scattered through every act, and touching one turns it green and makes it your respawn point. Death sends you back only to the last flag, usually a matter of two or three seconds of lost ground. That pricing changes how the game feels: an act is not one long test you can flunk at the end but a chain of short experiments, each a few obstacles long, each retried instantly until it is solved. Dying is how you gather information, and the flags keep the cost of information low.

Vex 6 layers a reward structure on top of that loop. It brings nine acts plus nine harder mirror versions of them, coins placed along the routes, a shop of 64 stickman skins of varying rarity, and a daily bonus stage. The coins matter for the design because of where they sit: the safe line through a section and the paying line are rarely the same line, so collecting is a deliberate detour into risk rather than something that happens on the way. The hard acts reuse the geography you have learned and reprice it with meaner hazard placement.

On LemonArcade it is filed under Platformer and 2D, and it suits players who want a precision game that respects short sessions. Because progress is measured in flags rather than in whole levels, five minutes is enough to genuinely move forward, which is exactly the slice of time most of its audience actually has.

Tips for Vex 6

  • Think in segments, not acts. Each pair of flags is its own puzzle with its own solution, and solving it once is usually permanent — your hands remember the sequence on the next pass.
  • Spend your first attempt at a new segment on watching, not surviving. Note where the saws travel and when the darts fire; the second attempt is the real one.
  • Purple blocks crumble after you touch them, so keep moving across anything purple and never plan to stand on it twice.
  • Treat coins as a separate objective. Clear a segment clean first, then decide whether the paying route past the extra hazard is worth the deaths it will cost.
  • Finish an act normally before opening its hard version. The hard acts reuse the same geography with crueler hazard placement, and knowing the map is half the battle.
  • If one segment eats ten attempts in a row, leave the act and come back. Timing sections are learned partly between sessions, and a fresh run often clears in two tries what a tilted run could not clear in twenty.

Did you know?

  • The series began as the work of independent developer Amazing Adam, whose first two Vex games appeared in 2013; Vex 3 moved the series to HTML5 under Azerion, and Azerion's in-house studio has built every entry from Vex 4 onward.
  • Vex 6 ships nine acts plus nine hard variants of them, and the flag checkpoints mean an act is effectively a chain of two-to-three-second retryable segments rather than a single long test.
  • The skins shop holds 64 stickman appearances bought with coins collected in the acts, and every one of them is cosmetic — hitboxes and movement are identical regardless of what you wear.
  • LemonArcade runs the official GameDistribution-licensed build of Vex 6, the same distribution used by the series' publisher, which is why progress saving and the full act list work in the browser.
Comments
Quick FAQ
What does Vex 6 add over the earlier games in the series?▼
The reward layer is the visible change: coins placed along the acts, a shop of 64 stickman skins, a daily bonus stage, and nine hard variants sitting alongside the nine standard acts. The movement set — run, jump, slide, wall-cling — is essentially the series standard. Vex 6 is less a reinvention than the entry where the act-and-checkpoint formula got a persistent economy wrapped around it.
How do the checkpoint flags actually work?▼
Red flags stand at intervals through each act, and touching one turns it green and locks it as your respawn point. Death returns you to the most recent green flag with everything after it reset. There is no lives counter and no penalty beyond the lost ground, which is usually a few seconds. The flags effectively cut each act into short segments you can retry instantly and independently.
Why does the game kill me so often — is that bad design?▼
It is the design. Vex prices death so low that dying becomes the intended way to learn a section: you fail, respawn two seconds back, and try again with one more piece of information about a saw's path or a dart's timing. An act that takes forty deaths is normal. The skill being trained is not avoiding death but converting each one into a correction on the next attempt.
What are the hard acts and when should I try them?▼
Each of the nine standard acts has a harder mirror that reuses its layout with meaner hazard placement — tighter gaps, faster cycles, fewer safe ledges. They are best treated as a second lap: clear the normal act first so the geography is already in your hands, then let the hard version reprice it. Going in cold wastes the main advantage the mirrors give you, which is familiarity.
What do coins do, and do skins change how the stickman plays?▼
Coins are spent in the shop on stickman skins, 64 of them across several rarities, and every skin is purely cosmetic — the hitbox, speed and jump are identical no matter what you wear. The interesting part is coin placement: the paying route through a segment usually runs past an extra hazard the safe route avoids, so collecting is a deliberate wager rather than an automatic pickup.
Who actually makes the Vex games?▼
The series originated with an independent developer usually credited as Amazing Adam, who released Vex 1 and Vex 2 in 2013 as Flash games. Vex 3 was rebuilt for HTML5 and entered the Azerion portfolio, and from Vex 4 onward — including Vex 6 — development has been handled by Azerion's in-house casual games studio, with the games distributed through GameDistribution.
What is the daily bonus stage for?▼
It is a short extra level that rotates each day and pays out coins, which makes it the fastest legitimate way to fund the skins shop without grinding act routes for pickups. It also serves a quieter purpose: it gives returning players a fresh piece of level design daily, so the game has something new to offer even after all eighteen acts are cleared.
What are the controls, and is there anything beyond running and jumping?▼
Arrow keys or WASD move, with jump on up or W. From that small set the game builds a wider vocabulary: pressing down while moving slides under low hazards, holding toward a wall lets the stickman cling and slow his fall, and jumping off a clung wall chains into wall-to-wall climbs. Nearly every act eventually demands all of these, so the tutorial-light opening acts are worth taking slowly.
Does Vex 6 run properly on a school Chromebook?▼
Yes. It is an HTML5 game running directly in the browser page with no download and no account, which is precisely the situation a managed Chromebook allows. It is also light enough that low-end hardware keeps the framerate stable, and framerate matters here more than in most browser games because the saw and dart timings are what you are learning.
Should I play Vex 6 before Vex 7 and Vex 8?▼
The acts stand alone, so nothing story-wise forces an order, but 6 is the natural starting point of the three on LemonArcade. It teaches the flag economy and the core movement in its purest form, while 7 adds new obstacle types to read and 8 reworks traversal with poles and an endless mode. Learning the fundamentals here makes the later entries' additions legible instead of overwhelming.
