Vex 3 is the third installment in the hit Vex series, offering players a gripping and fast-paced 2D platformer adventure. You are a stickman whose goal is to make it through the deadly obstacle courses, or Acts, where every action you take matters.
Vex 3 has 10 regular acts and 9 special challenge acts, and every one of them is tougher than the last. The objective is simple: guide your stickman from start to the end point, marked by a glowing green portal. However, getting through each act requires focus, precision, and good strategy.
To survive, you’ll need to master running, jumping, wall climbing, crouching, and sliding. Traps such as spikes, electric hazards, and saw blades are scattered everywhere, forcing players to think carefully before making a move.
Checkpoints, as red flags that turn green when triggered, are crucial to progress. Instead of having to restart all the way through when you die, you reappear at your last checkpoint. Such a system makes the game more accessible but still a difficult challenge to present.
The main goal of each act is to find the exit portal. Once reached, you’ll unlock the next act with even trickier layouts. Each stage introduces new mechanics, ensuring the game feels fresh and unpredictable.
In addition to completing acts, Vex 3 also rewards good players with achievements and trophies. Achieve Bronze, Silver, or Gold medals based on how quickly you complete an act. You can also aim for perfection as you collect sneaky stars or complete a stage without sustaining damage.
If the standard acts are not enough, head into the Challenge Acts. These nine more levels are for adventure players, which have even more dangerous obstacles and maze-like layouts.
