VEX 3 Xmas

Candy canes turn into obstacles and snowbanks hide traps the moment VEX 3 Xmas starts. This is the classic Vex parkour formula dressed up for the holidays: jump, run and maneuver through zones packed with snowy landscapes and Christmas trees, and you already know if that sentence gets your fingers twitching.

If you've burned hours on any Vex game before, you know the deal. Every zone here is trapped and treacherous, and reaching the end is the only way through. Even the level menu is boobytrapped, so don't relax the second a level ends. This is one for fans of tight, punishing jumping games who like their platforming with a bit of a mean streak.

It runs straight in your browser on desktop or mobile, free, no download needed. Drop in, relive the classic Vex challenge in its wintery version, and see how far you get before a candy cane trips you up. Perfect for a quick solo session when you want something that bites back a little.

Want more twitchy reflex tests after this one? Singleplayer games on the site cover a lot of the same itch.

Reach the end of each trapped, treacherous zone to clear it and move on to the next. That's the whole objective, but the traps make sure it's never simple.

Use WASD or the arrow keys to move, jump and maneuver around candy canes, snowy hazards and Christmas trees. When you're standing still, use the mouse to look ahead and scout what's coming.

Don't let your guard down at the level menu between stages, it's boobytrapped too. Take a second to look ahead before committing to a jump, since most deaths here come from rushing a blind landing.
