Vex X3M

About Vex X3M

Vex X3M takes the stick-figure hero from the Vex series and puts him on a dirt bike. Each of the 30 stages is a twisting obstacle course packed with traps such as spinning blades, laser beams, rockets and sharp spikes. Your job is to ride from the starting gate to the checkered flag in one piece, landing flips along the way.

How to play

Hold the throttle to build speed, then lean your rider forward or back to keep both wheels lined up with ramps and slopes. Watch the road signs, since they warn you about upcoming hazards. Finishing quickly and cleanly earns stars, and those stars unlock fresh bike designs. Once you clear the normal difficulty, a tougher hard mode is waiting.

Controls

Desktop: Up arrow or W speeds up, Down arrow or S slows down, Left/Right arrows or A/D tilt the bike. Mobile: use the on-screen buttons to accelerate, brake and lean.

Tips

Ease off the gas before big jumps so you can adjust your angle in the air. If a section feels tricky, slow down and study the timing of the traps before trying again.
