You jump off the first ledge, miss the timing, slam into spikes and hit R before the screen even fades. It happens a lot, and then you grin because that little retry felt like progress.
Vex 8 is a fast, blocky platformer where you run, jump, wall cling and dash through rooms packed with spikes, moving platforms and tiny windows for perfect landings. Levels demand split second timing and memorizing patterns, not clever upgrades or long exploration.
It feels razor sharp and a bit cruel. Small mistakes get punished, and that makes nailing a sequence actually satisfying. Controls are simple enough but precise, and the whole thing rewards patience more than brute speed. Don’t mash jump on tricky walls, learn the rhythm of moving traps and use the dash only when you need the extra distance.
