Vex 7
Vex 7 adds the Tower of Terror, an endless descent past armed guards and glass walls that funds 89 skins in the shop.
The 2022 entry is structurally familiar: nine acts plus nine hardcore versions, each finishing on a Vexation stage, with special levels sealed behind purple barriers that open once an act's three assignments earn you all three stars. Paragliding and zip lines get more room here than in earlier games.
The addition is the Tower of Terror, a continuous descent through the floors of a guarded tower that ends only when you die. It has mechanics found nowhere else in the series, including energy blasts that shatter glass walls and knock out the guards patrolling each floor, and it pays out Tower Coins, which is how you afford the 89 skins in the shop.
Controls
Arrows or WASD to move, Up to jump, Down to slide and to drop into an act.
Tips
- Tower of Terror runs are where the coins are; the acts alone will take forever to reach 89 skins.
- Clear an act's three assignments on one run, since they open both hard mode and the sealed levels.
- Paraglider sections drift, so line up with the landing before you're over it rather than during the fall.
