Vex 3

A precision parkour platformer with a completion structure behind it. There are ten acts, each with checkpoints and hidden sections, and the game tracks progress toward a full clear — so the goal is not to survive a run but to finish everything, which changes how the difficulty reads. The movement is the reason it works. Wall slides, jumps, swims and slides each interact with momentum consistently, and the levels are designed around chaining them rather than executing them individually. Checkpoints are frequent enough that a hard section is practised rather than endured, which is the difference between a fair hard game and a frustrating one. Hardcore mode removes the checkpoints for anybody who wants the other kind, and the hidden sections give a reason to revisit acts after finishing them. It takes several hours for a full completion and saves progress reliably. It plays best with a keyboard and works adequately on touch, and it runs on anything. One of the better precision platformers in a browser, and generous in a way the genre frequently is not. The acts also vary their themes and hazards enough that the game does not feel like one long level with rising difficulty. Water sections, moving machinery and timed traps each change the movement problem rather than just tightening it.
