Game information

The screens are basically up for teaching the player what to do. Zapo is represented as a small rectangular person, with the target reticule being a bit smaller then the usual one.

They first, and only appear on level one to teach the basics of Fault Line, including how to move and how to make a fault line. They don't appear in further levels as there is nothing left to teach.

Trivia

• The holographic screen is the first sign ever to be made by Nitrome in a game not to use text, instead, use actions and images. All previous signs were just text, explaining to the player what to do. This may have played a part in leading to the success of Fault Line.
  • This also may have lead to the use of signs without words in other games, such as Steamlands.
