Vex X3M 3 brings together the high-speed obstacle course challenges of Vex and transforms them into a fast-paced bike physics racing challenge. Players will navigate their motorcycles through treacherous terrain, maintain their balance in mid-air, evade obstacles, and find the safest path to complete a level. Unlike other games based solely on speed, this game requires timing, control, and an understanding of how your motorcycle reacts after every jump, flip and landing.
Important Keys/Controls
- Gas: W or UP ARROW
- Brake/Reverse: S or DOWN ARROW
- Tilt Left: A or LEFT ARROW
- Tilt Right: D or RIGHT ARROW
Game Overview
In Vex X3M 3 players will participate in 30 levels of a physics motorcycle platformer where they will navigate their motorcycle through various obstacles which include traps, ramps, moving platforms, pipes, electrical hazards, Sand areas, and Stunt friendly obstacles. Each level was developed to require players to do more than simply drive. Players must master their speed; adjust their motorcycle appropriately as they navigate corners; and utilize the track layout to ensure proper landings after jumps.
There are 40 unique motorcycles available for players to unlock, and the selection is far more humorous than what would typically be found in a standard racing garage. There are some motorcycle designs that were created with no intention of being serious (for example motorcycles that resemble toys such as a jet ski, toy duck or banana). While these silly motorcycle designs add humor to the game and emphasize the fun nature of the game, the actual racing and Stunt challenge remains present.
Players will progress by mastering the layout of each level and increasing their ability to time their movements. A particular level may seem impossible at first glance, however once a player has learned when to slow down; when to flip; and when to stabilize their motorcycle the route will become significantly more manageable. This creates a very rewarding experience for players who have enjoyed completing short but challenging racing levels that offer a lot of replayability.
Important Features
- 30 levels that include obstacles such as hazards and trick-filled track designs to create many opportunities for stunts.
- 40 unlockable motorcycles, including unusual motorcycle designs that are inspired by toys or objects (such as jetskis, toy ducks or bananas).
- Motorcycle physics-based movement is built around speed, balance, flips and landings.
- Treacherous tracks with Sand sections, electric sections, pipe sections, ramp sections and shifting hazard areas.
- Many opportunities to perform stunts and reward timed moves and safe bike control.
- A strong combination of Vex style danger and X3M style Stunt racing.
Tips for New Players
- Don't hold acceleration constantly. It's easier to clear traps if you slow down before they arrive.
- Use tilt controls in air so your motorcycle lands flat instead of sliding into crash position.
- Pay attention to level design before rushing because most hazards were placed to punish any careless speed.
- Replay difficult parts to learn where checkpoints, ramps, and traps are located.
Advanced Tips
- Flip only when jump gives enough height but avoid compelling yourself to do stunts on short ramps.
- Correct landing angle early in the air rather than at last second.
- Experiment different bikes when you feel like a particular section feels awkward. An unconventional design may handle jumps better.
- Gain speed before long gaps then reduce tilt movement as you prepare to land.
Common Errors
- Speeding into unknown traps can cause crashes which could have been avoided using better timing.
- Tilting too much in air will make even simple jumps more challenging to land.
- Failing to use brake properly will increase difficulty of steep drops, pipes and Sand sections.
- Picking fun bike based on appearance alone does not always mean best choice for hardest levels.
