About POLE VAULT
Pole vaulting in real life is both difficult and dangerous
Not unlike this game
POLE VAULT is a precision platformer where you play as a stretchy newt. The newt's passion for pole vaulting lets them launch high into the sky. Vault your way to the top of the tower to achieve victory. In POLE VAULT, you'll climb up a single, huge tower. You can expect your performance to be evaluated when you reach the apex.
The end of your pole is a cursor that you control. Drag your pole into the ground while moving, time your release, and be sent flying through the air. Catch yourself on the edges of platforms. Pogo bounce directly from a fall to maintain the highest speed.

I'm just giving a positive review because this game is very unique and beautiful, small indie team deserves the support. i'm sorry but this game is not really fun imo, compared to other games like "getting over it" or "chain together", the mechanic works a little bit but for a small platform it doesn't make any sense, you might just Pogo jump around and you can get stuck pretty easy under the platform. this game is really beautiful but the music is very repetitive and it gets annoying really quick, some platforms are just simple shapes and their design are just boring. i know this game is like one of those "difficult games about going up" but the devs really need to balance the difficulty, the platforms are too far and too small to do a "Pole vault", i'm doing more Pogo jumps than Vault. i hope the devs read this and balance the game and add more updates in the future.2 found this helpful
While visually interesting, the gameplay opened up by being so obtuse that it very quickly left me completely uninterested in continuing. The pole would not work in any consistent way and was just unusable. With that being the only way you really have to get around, I'm not going to bother putting myself through that. It does not matter if the visuals are good when the gameplay is so abysmal.1 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/FkrAOZEieFo Offering a silly theme and mechanic with a 'rage' tower to climb, it's well implemented outside some camera issues but not much depth overall.
its good for what it is
First things first. I love single mechanics game that extend the game and give depth to that single mechanic. Also i love the artstyle. Character controller is a bit weak but it tries to be physics so its ok. The pole is weird. It has its own movement logic which I cannot understand. Slapping a difficult tag with something that doesnt make sense isnt good gameplay logic. Atleast the pole should be consistent ? idk I wanted to give this a Positive review cuz i love underrated indie games. however it has to be a negative for now.
I really love the art style and the controls feel a lot of fun to play. It's something that you'll struggle with at first but then later find yourself breezing through the same parts with ease, which is very satisfying. And I'm not even close to beating it yet. I personally found the music to be a bit lacking. It feels very simple and repetitive, especially if you spend a lot of time near the bottom. Plus, you can't really pause the game (at this moment, at least) and it has led to me losing progress while paused multiple times. But I'd recommend anyone try it out for themselves, especially since it's pretty affordable. Edit: Just beat it at 5.4 hours. Such a good feeling. Fun game!
