Vex 3

Vex 3 is a tough 2D platformer where you play as a stickman racing through deadly trap-filled mazes. The third game in the series builds on the previous entries with more complex trap layouts and challenge levels.

About Vex 3

Each Act presents different trap combinations: spikes, spinning blades, moving platforms, crumbling floors, and electric traps await you. Jump, slide, wall-climb, and pull off stunts to clear every obstacle. Green flags in each level act as checkpoints — die and you restart from the last one you touched.

Finishing the level isn't enough — beyond 10 regular Acts there are 9 Challenge Acts designed for advanced players with far denser layouts. Each level also has Bronze, Silver, and Gold time targets; completing them without dying and as fast as possible earns you trophies.

Why is it hard to put down?

Every death shows you clearly what went wrong: jumped too early, or misjudged the escape window? That clarity constantly fuels the desire to retry. Chasing the Gold time is a long-term challenge in itself.

Is it safe?

A platformer with stickman graphics. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
