About Vex 3
Vex 3 is the entry that carried the Vex stickman platformer series into its modern, browser-native era, and it's still one of the most-played in the whole run. You steer a stick figure through side-scrolling Acts crammed with buzzsaws, spikes, crushers, water sections and precise timing gates, using the full Vex movement kit — run, jump, wall-slide, wall-jump, swim and slide — to thread each hazard by a whisker.
The reason Vex games hook people is the control quality. Movement is tight and utterly consistent, so every death reads as a solvable problem rather than an unfair one — and that fairness is the engine of the endless "one more try" loop. Frequent checkpoints keep the punishment light: a mistake costs you seconds, not the whole Act, so even the hardest stretches stay motivating instead of rage-inducing.
Vex 3 refined the formula with clean, readable levels where you can scan an obstacle sequence before committing, then learn its pattern and smooth out your timing until you flow straight through. It leans on momentum and verticality — long runs where you chain a slide into a jump into a wall-climb, and shafts you scale with rapid alternating wall-jumps.
Beyond the main Acts, Vex 3 keeps the series' brutal optional Challenge stages: standalone levels with sparse checkpoints and merciless timing, built to test complete mastery of the movement. Clearing them is a real badge of skill and the reason speedrunners keep coming back.
Vex 3 was made by Amazing Adam, the creator of the series. Play it unblocked at UBGHyper free in your browser. If you want more, Vex 5, Vex 7, Vex 8 and OvO deliver the same precision-platformer challenge.

How to play Vex 3
Controls. Arrow keys or WASD: Up/W jump, Left/Right run, Down/S slide and drop through thin platforms. Fall against a wall to wall-slide, then jump to wall-jump. Tap jump to swim upward through water. It's all keyboard — no mouse needed.
Tips:
- Drill the wall-jump rhythm — many Acts are vertical shafts cleared with fast alternating wall-jumps.
- Carry momentum into gaps; a running or sliding start clears jumps a standing leap falls short of.
- Slide (Down) under saws and low ceilings — standing through them is an instant death.
- Save the Challenge stages for after the Acts; they assume you've mastered every movement the game taught you.
Frequently asked questions
Who made Vex 3?
Vex 3 was made by Amazing Adam, the developer of the Vex platformer series. UBGHyper hosts the free browser version, playable unblocked with no download.
Is Vex 3 a good place to start the series?
Yes — Vex 3 is one of the most popular entries and teaches the movement clearly. The controls are identical across the series, so skill carries straight into Vex 5, 7 and 8.
What are the Challenge stages in Vex 3?
Challenges are optional levels separate from the main Acts, with few checkpoints and tough timing. They're a mastery test for experienced players and a favourite of speedrunners.
Why do I keep failing wall-jumps in Vex 3?
Wall-jumping needs you to hold toward the wall to cling, then tap jump. Pressing away too early drops you — keep the direction held into the wall until the instant you jump.
Is Vex 3 free and unblocked at school?
Yes — it's free at UBGHyper, runs in the browser with no install, and works on school Chromebooks.
