Game Review
Let's check the dictionary on the word, Vex. The definitions of vex is made (someone) feel annoyed, frustrated, or worried. This is indeed what the flash game is trying to illustrate in their gameplay. Your only goal is to make it through various stages filled with traps that want nothing more than to see you dead and rage quit.

I would say Vex is quite a tough one by Amazing Adam. It is said to test your survivability skills in the ever-changing world of Vex. All you will need to be avoided many of the nasty obstacles that will come in your way, such as the deadly spikes, faster than light lasers, annoying bouncing Shurikens and more. It will kill you if any hit you which then send you back to the latest checkpoint flag you last checked.

Don't worry if you don't usually play platform games. Every stage has plentiful of checkpoints which is scattered throughout after every major obstacle. Typically to ensure that you won't have to restart the stage if you die however, the downside is dying costs you valuable time which adds on to your overall timing. Your timing determines what rank you get. Well, don’t be discouraged if your timing is an average of 5 mins in each stages. My timing is equally as bad as or worse than you. Speaking about platform flash games I'm the worst at it but I’m proud to admit. :)

To my surprise, the controls are pretty solid and precise. The Stickman is able to wall jump or grab ledges smoothly in every key in quick succession. All in all with a little patience and focus, I still manage to complete the game... have to do a perfect run, it will be too vexing for my fingers and brain! :O
