Vex 3 – The Complete Strategy Guide

Vex 3 is one of the most high-speed games on Coolmath Games. With that being said, it is also one of the most difficult games on here. To help out with this, we have curated a list of some of the most helpful Vex 3 strategies. These tips not only go over in-game improvements, but also go over how to improve your gaming mentality overall.

Before we talk about these Vex 3 tips and tricks though, let’s go over how to play Vex 3. There are a surprising amount of dimensions in this platformer game, so a brief summary is necessary for a lot of newbies.

How to Play Vex 3

Vex 3 has very straightforward controls. Simply use the arrow keys to jump up, down, and side-to-side. Players must roam around the map and complete different stages in order to make it to the end. Most of these stages will require players to use several different actions. There are three main skills that are featured in Vex 3 – running, jumping, and swimming.

Running

Use the arrow keys to run around the map in this stickman game. If there are any walls that you seem too tall to pass by, and can't be jumped over, press the down arrow in order to slide under the obstacle and continue on. Running is the most common type of movement that players will use, so get used to it.

Jumping

There are tall obstacles everywhere in Vex 3. To hop over these, just press the up arrow to launch off the ground. Players can jump from wall to wall in order to reach places that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. 

Swimming

Vex 3 Strategies Swimming Gameplay

Most of the levels require at least a little bit of swimming in order to complete the stage. To swim, point your character toward the direction that you want them to go. Then press the up arrow to make them swim in that direction. This action seems simple, but it actually takes a little bit of practice to perfect.

One of the aspects of swimming that players must really watch out for is their air supply. They only have a certain amount of time that they can stay underwater without drowning. Keeping track of the oxygen bar above your character is a key part of swimming in Vex 3.

So now that you know how to play Vex 3, let’s take a look at some Vex 3 strategies to assist you in getting through the entire game.

Vex 3 Strategies

There are quite a few helpful tips that players can use to succeed in Vex 3. This game is not just about skill, but also about having a good game plan and a strong mentality. Read on to learn some Vex 3 strategies that will elevate your game to the next level.

Take it slow

Vex 3 is moving at such a fast pace that it can be easy to get overwhelmed. However, there will be points in the game where you will have time to just stand still and think. Take advantage of these moments, they don't come often. 

Look for the next checkpoint flag

There are checkpoints along your journey in Vex 3. Getting these checkpoints is a huge deal, they will save your progress as you make your way through the levels. This means that even if you get chopped to bits or fall off the map, you will respawn at the checkpoint flag instead of going all the way back to the beginning. This ends up saving a lot of time.

Get comfortable with wall jumping

One of the most common trials that players will run into is wall jumping. This is the act of bouncing from one wall to another in order to climb your way up the wall. You will see this in Vex 3 all the time, from the very first levels to the very end. Make sure to get very comfortable with this technique.

Quick tip: If you are uncomfortable with wall jumps, find a safe spot away from hazards. Try scaling up the wall several times until you feel completely confident in your abilities.

Learn from your mistakes

The worst Vex 3 players aren’t the ones that fail often, but the ones that fail often and don’t learn from their mistakes. Instead of just trying a level over and over again and making the same mistake, try and look back at why you're failing. Are you going too fast? Does your timing need to be better? Are there any enemies that are impeding your progress? Asking these kinds of questions will help you improve your Vex 3 abilities and make it further in the game.

Now that you have learned a few of our basic Vex 3 strategies, go and try them out! Once you’ve completed Vex 3, make sure to go and check out Vex 7, one of the most popular sequels from the Vex series.
