Vex 3Run, jump, and slide through the deadly obstacle courses of Vex 3. Master tight parkour controls to dodge saws and spikes in this addictive platformer.
Vex 3
Vex 3 is a fast-paced stickman platformer that turns a simple run-and-jump concept into a brutal test of reflexes and timing. You navigate a series of intricate levels, known as Acts, which are packed with deadly hazards like spinning buzzsaws, spike pits, and falling blocks. Getting to the finish line requires precision and momentum, as you chain together sprints, wall-jumps, and slides to clear obstacles that leave zero room for error.
The pacing is relentless, but the generous checkpoint system keeps the frustration in check. Every time your stickman meets a messy end, you respawn almost instantly at the last flag you touched, ready to try the jump again. This quick loop of trial and error makes it incredibly addictive, pushing you to refine your movements until you can glide through a seemingly impossible gauntlet in one fluid motion.
Controls
- Move: Left and Right Arrow keys or A/D
- Jump: Up Arrow or W
- Slide/Duck: Down Arrow or S (while moving to slide, while standing still to duck)
- Enter Act: Down Arrow or S (when standing on an Act block)
Tips for Surviving the Acts
- Momentum is key: Your jump distance and wall-climbing height depend on your speed. Don’t hesitate before a big gap; you need a full running start.
- Master the wall slide: When you hit a wall, you’ll slide down slowly. Use this to survey the drop below or to time your jump past moving hazards like saws.
- Swim carefully: The underwater sections have a strict breath meter. Plan your route between air bubbles before diving in, and avoid rushing, as the stickman’s momentum changes dramatically in the water.
- Watch for false floors: Blocks that are slightly discolored or cracked will fall away when you touch them. Keep moving as soon as you land on one.
With its tight controls and demanding level design, Vex 3 is perfect for players who enjoy speedrunning and mastering challenging parkour mechanics.
