POLE VAULT

Have been eager to play Newt Game ever since the devs posted on r/IndieGaming a couple weeks ago, and boy oh boy does it hold up to the hype. Controls are incredibly innovative which makes the gameplay really unique and fun to move around. The game is super challenging, but every time I've fallen back to start I still have a smile on my face because of how much charm is in this game. Would love to see an endless mode (even if just horizontal for distance) get added for replayability as well as some more newt-like sounds. The sound effect of a man grunting every time you vault for a cute little newt is really the only thing that took me out of this beautifully crafted world. In my dream world, it would be awesome to have a multiplayer feature, similarly to the Lost Egg series. Imagining a group of newts all trying to climb together--what could be better than that?! Well worth the $4 and can't recommend enough if you want a fun, charming, cute challenge.

This game is fun and entertaining. A great game to pass the time! A game always has flaws and this one is no exception. While I really like the vibrant neon colors, I feel like this game lacks structure. The overall design of the map is pretty basic. The music has a unique and vibrant feel to it. Great for the background while playing this game! I really like the feel of the movement how how the character swiftly moves. I do feel as though the pole could be more accurate as to where the players cursor adjusts it to. For example, when you look all the way down the pole resets and points straight up. But, I really like the physics of launching and how holding your right click for a longer duration of time when launching - boosts the character more in the air. If you were a fan of "Getting over it" you will likely like this game. While "Pole Vault" has a similar feel, it is a completely unique new game. This game will definitely keep you immersed. Don't let its vibrant design cloud your judgement though, this game will be difficult at times based on how well the player understands the launching aspect - and that will come with trial and error from playing this game. This game has so much potential and I can't wait for more! Definitely recommend giving this game a try!
