VEX 3

Vex 3 is a motivating online game in which a stickman character runs through a perilous world composed of complex obstacle courses. Each individual Act is divided into several different levels of incremental difficulty which involve numerous timing and accuracy challenges such as buzzsaws, spikes, and different projectiles. The players come across wall-jumping, moving platforms, and swing points which serve as level-advanced mechanics. The game is designed to give unlimited lives along with removably placed checkpoints that are encouraging of level re-tries, and as such allows players to persistently forge through until they conquer the challenge. With a total of 10 web-accessible levels, each filled with myriad obstacles, including mechanics of blue platforms that drop and orange platforms that bounce, the game’s challenge is abundant for those operating on iOS devices, though an internet connection is necessary.

How To Play

In Vex 3, the player uses the keyboard to control the stick figure character. They can make the character jump with W or the Up Arrow key and duck or slide with S or Down Arrow key. The character can also be moved to the left and right with the A and D keys respectively. The controls get modified for the environment, so when the character goes swimming, the controls become more fitting for the water. To make progress, players must master wall-jumping, as the various platforms require strategic interaction to move forward. The game promotes planning as players must observe the strategies while carefully executing every jump. Although there is no imposed limit, staying calm while methodically planning the route through the perilous obstacles is essential in leveling up through the more complex levels.
