Vault Pole Bar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most arcade sports games fake the skill. Vault makes you time all three phases of a real pole vault — and the bar keeps rising until you miss. Every attempt is one skill loop, three taps: RUN-UP. Tap to start the sprint. A power meter sweeps up and down — lock it high, but not maxed. Too little and your plant is weak; a full overrun is a foul and a wasted attempt. PLANT. A marker sweeps across the planting box. Tap it inside the window for a clean plant that carries your speed into the pole. SWING & RELEASE. The pole bends. Watch the flex gauge and release at PEAK FLEX — the moment the bowed pole is about to fling you upward. Nail it and your speed becomes height. Clear the crossbar and it rises. Miss three times at one height and the run is over. Your delivered height is a pure function of run-up power, plant timing, release flex and your pole — no random luck, just how well you read the gauges. The whole vault is drawn side-on under stadium floodlights: the runway, the box, the bowing pole, the athlete arcing over, and the bar at its called height. Unlock stiffer poles as you clear higher bars: a higher ceiling, but a tighter release window. Chase your personal record and climb the pole rack. • A three-phase timing skill loop: run-up power, plant window, peak-flex release • A real clearance calculation — no RNG, pure skill • A rising crossbar and a three-miss run: push your personal best • Stiffer poles to unlock: higher ceilings for tighter timing • Side-on stadium art: runway, box, a flexing pole and the athlete over the bar • Fully offline, no account, nothing collected Sprint. Plant. Fly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vault Pole Bar at none against Star's shown. Star's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
