About Axiom Verge
A retro sci-fi metroidvania where scientist Trace wakes up in a strange alien world.
Axiom Verge (2015) was made almost entirely by one developer, Tom Happ. Scientist Trace awakens in the biomechanical world of Sudra and explores it with a huge arsenal and the Address Disruptor, a tool that glitches enemies and terrain.
It is a tribute to Metroid with a dark, mysterious story.

How to play Axiom Verge in your browser
- Press Play in browser — the game opens on agentcube.github.io in a new tab.
- Wait while the game files load. The first start can take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your connection; later starts are faster because the browser caches the files.
- Click inside the game window so it captures the keyboard and mouse, then switch to fullscreen (F11 or the host's fullscreen button).
- Open the in-game settings to adjust controls, graphics and sound. Progress is normally kept in your browser storage, so don't clear site data if you want to keep your saves.
Axiom Verge controls
Default layout for this browser version. Keys can differ between builds, and most hosts let you rebind them in the settings. A USB or Bluetooth gamepad usually works too.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Move | Arrow keys |
| Jump | Z / Space |
| Action | X / Shown in the game menu |
| Pause | Esc |
| Gamepad | Recommended — connect it before starting |
What to expect from the browser version
The browser version of Axiom Verge is an independent web project — a port, recompilation or fan remake — hosted on agentcube.github.io. It is not an official release from Thomas Happ Games, and MePlayable does not host any game files: we describe the game and link to the project.
Because the game runs inside a browser tab, some features of the 2015 original may be missing or work differently: online modes, cutscenes, saves, mods and graphics options depend on the build. If something doesn't work, check the host's own notes.
Requirements
A modern desktop browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera or Safari 16+ — with WebAssembly and WebGL enabled, at least 4 GB of RAM and a stable connection for the first load. Hardware acceleration should be switched on in the browser settings.
If Axiom Verge doesn't start
- Black screen or endless loading — update the browser, enable hardware acceleration and reload the page with Ctrl+F5.
- No sound — click inside the game window: browsers only allow audio after you interact with the page.
- Lag or low FPS — close other heavy tabs and programs, then lower the resolution or graphics settings in the game.
- The site doesn't open — the host may be temporarily down or blocked in your region. Try again later or use another project link on this page.

Axiom Verge: frequently asked questions
Which site hosts the browser version of Axiom Verge?
The playable web version of Axiom Verge runs on agentcube.github.io. MePlayable doesn't host game files: we check the link, explain controls and point you to the project page.
Can I play Axiom Verge online for free?
Yes. The browser version on agentcube.github.io is free to open, and MePlayable doesn't charge anything — we simply link to the project.
Do I need to download Axiom Verge?
No. Axiom Verge runs directly in a browser tab using WebAssembly and WebGL, so there is no installer and nothing to download. The browser only caches files to make the next launch faster.
Can I play Axiom Verge on a phone?
The browser version is made for computers and expects a keyboard and mouse or a gamepad. Some phones and tablets can open it, but performance and touch controls are not guaranteed.
Can I play Axiom Verge with friends?
No. Axiom Verge is a single-player game, and the browser version focuses on the solo experience.
Is this the official Axiom Verge?
No. The original Axiom Verge was developed by Thomas Happ Games and released in 2015. The browser version is a third-party project, and all rights to the game belong to their owners.
Will my progress be saved?
Usually yes: saves are stored in your browser's local storage on this device. They are lost if you clear browser data, use private mode or switch to another browser or device.
