Vex 10: The Stickman Game That Rewrites Its Own Rules

If you grew up on old stickman games that kept things simple — run, jump, survive — Vex 10 is a fascinating evolution of that idea. The core movement is still here and still feels great. What changes everything are the new mechanics layered on top of it.

Invert gravity is the headline feature, and it earns that spotlight. Certain acts flip your entire sense of direction, turning the ceiling into the floor and making every familiar movement feel disorienting in the best possible way. Act 8 is built almost entirely around it.

Time freeze introduces a clock that stops obstacles mid-motion. Suddenly a spinning blade that has been ending your run becomes a stepping stone if you time the freeze correctly. It adds a puzzle dimension to sections that would otherwise be pure reflex tests.

The clone character mechanic is the wildest addition. In specific parts of the game you swap to a second Vex to help your original self progress. By the way, if your clone fails, your original goes back to the last checkpoint. Two stickmen, one shared fate.

The challenge room takes this further, throwing multiple synchronized stickmen at the same course simultaneously. What one does, the others do too. Get further through the challenge and more stickmen join the chaos. There is no timer here, just you managing an increasingly coordinated — or wildly uncoordinated — group of identical stick figures.

Vex 10 is one of the most feature-packed stickman games online the franchise has produced. Thirty medals to earn, daily tasks that give every session a purpose, and a jump potion that sends your stickman higher, just like the ones in Vex Try to Fly.

In this entry, ice surfaces now melt over time rather than just being slippery, which sounds minor until you realize mid-run that the platform you were counting on is half gone. Secret floors that open up and drop you into traps — you get a warning, and yet you will fail and blame the developer.

Thirty-two new unlockable skins include a pizza stickman, a broccoli costume, and a 67 skin for anyone who knows what that means. Hardcore act variants return for players who feel like the standard versions are not testing them enough. A device switch mechanic rotates platform orientation mid-level. There is genuinely a lot here.

• Restart: R

Invert gravity flips the level so the ceiling becomes your floor and everything you know about the controls feels backwards. It appears across several acts but is most prominently featured in Act 8. You can jump straight there using act selection from the menu rather than working through every stage in order.

If your clone fails, your original Vex gets sent back to the last activated checkpoint — not the beginning of the act. The two are linked, so treating your clone as expendable will cost you. Plan both paths before committing to either one.

The challenge room runs multiple synchronized stickmen through the same course at the same time. Every input you make affects all of them simultaneously. The further you progress, the more stickmen appear — and since they all mirror your movement, one bad decision wipes the whole group. There is no time limit, so patience and clean movement matter more than speed.
