Vex: Challenges is a fast-paced platformer that pushes your reflexes, timing, and precision to the limit. Every level is a race against the clock, giving you just 10 seconds to dodge deadly obstacles, collect stars, and reach the finish line. It’s intense, skill-based, and designed for players who love mastering tough platforming challenges.

How to Play Vex: Challenges

Use the Arrow Keys or WASD to move your character. While running, press Down or S to slide under obstacles and maintain momentum. Your goal in each level is to collect stars and reach the end before time runs out.

Game Mechanics & Features

• Time-Based Levels: Each level gives you only 10 seconds, so efficiency is key. One wrong move can cost the run.
• Star Collection: Grab stars scattered throughout the level. You can spend these stars to unlock new skins.
• Ghost Racing: After beating a level for the first time, you can race against your own ghost, letting you challenge and improve your best runs.
• Precision Platforming: Slip, slide, jump, and swerve through traps designed to slow you down and test your control.

Jumping Tips

A crucial mechanic in Vex: Challenges is variable jump height:

• Tap Up / W for a short, quick jump.
• Hold Up / W for a longer jump that reaches maximum height.

Mastering when to use short jumps versus long jumps is essential for clearing obstacles and collecting all stars.

Pro Tip

It is possible to collect all 3 stars in every level, but expect to retry levels many times. Pulling it off is incredibly rewarding and proves you’ve beaten the game at its hardest difficulty.
