A winter version of Vex 3 where you run, slide, climb, and dodge Christmas-themed traps to reach each portal.
Here's a quick look at the game:
VEX 3 Xmas is a Christmas-themed version of the Vex 3 stickman platformer. You run through snowy obstacle zones, dodge spikes and saws, slide across icy paths, and try to reach the portal at the end.
What You Do in the Game
Each zone is a short but dangerous parkour course. Your goal is to reach the swirling portal without getting destroyed by traps.
The holiday setting changes the look, but not the danger. Snowy slopes, candy canes, Christmas trees, underwater tunnels, spikes, saw blades, and moving hazards all demand precise timing.
How to Play
Move through each section carefully and touch checkpoint flags whenever you see them. When a red flag turns green, it becomes your respawn point, which makes difficult sections easier to practice.
VEX 3 Xmas also rewards speed. If you clear levels quickly enough, you may unlock harder versions of the acts.
Controls
| Action | Key |

| Jump / Swim forward | Up Arrow |
| Drop / Slide while running / Kick crates | Down Arrow |
Tips for Better Runs
- Always activate checkpoints. Missing one can force you to repeat a long section.
- Use sliding on slopes. It can help you pass low hazards and keep momentum.
- Do not rush saw patterns. Wait for the safe gap, then move once.
- Watch the ice. Slippery movement can carry you into traps if you overcorrect.
- Use crates only when needed. Push or kick them into place before attempting the jump.
Why Players Keep Playing
VEX 3 Xmas works because it keeps the sharp Vex platforming but gives it a seasonal twist. The levels are quick, the deaths are instant, and improvement comes from learning each trap until the whole route feels clean.
