Vex 7 in the Vex Series: Who Made It and What It Contains

Who made Vex 7?

The Vex series started as browser platformers by the independent developer known as Amazing Adam. Later games in the series came from Azerion, the company behind the Agame portal, and Vex 7 is listed on Agame.com. The build hosted here matches that: its code is wired to Azerion’s game SDK, and when it cannot tell which portal it is running on, it links back to agame.com by default. The game files contain no separate studio credit. Some sites credit both Amazing Adam and Azerion, and you will also see other studio names attached to the game, but nothing in the files supports them.

On Coolmath Games, Vex 7 has a release date of February 16, 2023. Under the hood it is an HTML5 game built with the Phaser engine, so it runs in a browser without Flash or a plugin.

How the game is organised

You start in a hub level. It works as a playable map: you walk and jump through it, and you open an act by standing on its block and pressing down. The hub has blocks for ten normal acts, nine hardcore acts, a skins area and the Tower of Terror.

• Acts 1 to 9 each teach one or two new objects and then test them. The early ones bring in kites, ropes and portals, and later acts add cannons, grapple pads, keys and locks, ice, swimming pools and pulse blocks.
• Vexation is Act 10 and the final test. A wire races you to the end, and if it gets there first you have to redo the whole act. Clearing it earns its own trophy.
• Tower of Terror is a separate mode with randomly chained floors that get harder as you go. It counts the floors you pass, saves your best, and has trophies for 10, 100 and 500 floors. It is the only mode with enemies: a Knight, a Battering Ram and a Drone, which you fight with the attack key (Space on a keyboard).

Skins

Vex 7 has a skin collection sorted into five rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic. Spin pickups are hidden in the acts, and the Skins screen lets you spin for a new character, preview it and equip it. An in-game tip says you can earn Tower coins for exclusive skins. One trophy asks you to collect every skin.

Daily tasks and trophies

A Daily Tasks panel gives small goals that reset on a timer: collect a set number of coins, complete a given level, play the Tower of Terror, or complete any three levels. The Trophies screen groups achievements into Acts, Standard, Hardcore, Tower and general Achievements, including “Play the game for over one hour”, “Get over 100 total deaths” and one for surfacing from a swim with a single bubble of air left.

Languages and options

The game ships with text in 13 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi. The settings let you switch music and sound effects, turn on automatic restarts and hide blood effects.

Where to go next

If you want to get through the acts, start with the stars guide, then read the hardcore acts guide once you have three stars in an act.
