(The display title thing is misleading. The only exceptions I can see it being used for are beginning letter cases or subpages to cut off prefixes. But not this situation.)

Green Ninja Vault! [[:Beneath The Lighthouse|Beneath The Lighthouse]]

Vault! is an endless platforming game released on July 22nd, 2015. The player plays as a character with a pole that uses this pole to vault over platforms.

Gameplay

The player controls a character holding a long stick. Tapping and holding will cause the player to press their stick down and push themselves up into the air, moving the player in an arc. Letting go of the tap will cause the player to hold the stick up and finish the vault. The player dies if they fall off the stage or are unable to finish their vault.

If the player dies, they can continue by watching an advertisement (can be used once per game) or paying fifty coins, although this fee goes up for subsequent deaths.

Cameos

Glitches

  • If the player dies in the section with two blue pads and buys a continue, they can restart from the area the second Blue pad is located, however, the player cannot pass this point.
  • In rare occasions, immediately during the countdown after buying a continue, the player's character may be spawned at the very bottom of the screen behind a platform and end up dieing when the countdown finishes as they are not present on a platform.

Trivia

  • The game's Nitrome.com icon is not the same as the mobile icon.
  • The player can touch interactive objects or hazards when dying.
Spoiler
This is also true for Panic bot, even though it explodes.
  • On the front page of Nitrome.com 2.5, in the "FEATURED" section, the icon for Vault does not display the game's logo.
