About Vex 8

Vex 8 is the latest in one of the best precision-platformer series on the web: a stickman, a set of brutally exact courses, and mechanics that punish anything less than deliberate movement. This instalment adds red-green light traps that only let you move on one signal.

Nine acts, secret areas holding trophies, and a new infinite mode for players who want a single unending run rather than a level list. The series' appeal has always been the same — the physics are exact and consistent, so every failure is legibly your own mistake.

Vex 8 tips

  • Learn the section rather than improvising; the courses are fixed.
  • Wall jumps carry more height than they look like they should.
  • Slide under hazards rather than jumping them where the gap allows.
  • The secret areas are usually just off the obvious route — look up and back.

Vex 8 — questions

What's new in Vex 8?

Red-green light traps that only permit movement on one signal, nine acts with secret trophy areas, and a new infinite mode.

Why is the Vex series so respected?

Because the physics are exact and consistent. Every death is clearly the player's own mistake, which is what makes a hard platformer feel fair rather than cheap.
