How To Play
Vex 4 is a challenging platformer game where you control a stick figure navigating through various levels filled with obstacles and traps. Use the arrow keys or WASD to move, jump, and crouch as you make your way to the finish line. Timing and precision are key to avoiding spikes, saw blades, and other hazards. Each level presents new challenges, so stay focused and keep trying until you reach the end!
The Code
Later versions of Vex (4 and up) are built entirely in plain JavaScript using the HTML5 canvas for rendering. They don't rely on external game engines like Phaser or Pixi—they're all custom, hand-crafted code. Gameplay logic, physics (like player movement, collision, gravity), and rendering are all implemented from scratch, giving the developer full control and ensuring lean performance.
