'''Vault!''' is an endless platforming game released on July 22nd, [[2015]] for iOS on the Apple App Store and for Android on the Google Play store and Amazon App Store, and on browser on September 25th, 2015. The player plays as a [[Characters (Vault)|character]] with a pole that uses this pole to vault over platforms.

==Gameplay==
The player controls a [[Characters (Vault)|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 [[Interactive objects (Vault)|springs]] and buys a continue, they can restart from the area the second spring is located, however, the player cannot pass this point. 
*Rarely, 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 dying when the countdown starts as they are not present on a platform.

==Reception==
===Promotions===
On August 5th, 2016, Nitrome posted that Vault! had been featured on the Apple App Store as part of their Olympics 2016 feature<ref>{{Citation|type=twitter|link=https://twitter.com/Nitrome/status/761478112114774016|title=|name=Nitrome|excerpt=|publisheddate=5 Aug 16|retrieveddate=14 Sept 16}}</ref>.
==Trivia==
*Unlike Nitrome's previous cross platform releases, ''Vault!'''s icon displayed on [[Nitrome.com]] is not identical to the app icon for mobile devices. The Nitrome.com version retains a portion of the game's background, whereas in the mobile icon, King Edward is seen against a bright green backdrop.

*{{Spoiler/trivia|This is also true for [[Panic bots|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.
