Scarab Vault: Desert Leap

Deep within the sun-scorched chambers of a buried pharaoh's vault, a golden scarab beetle holds the power of the gods. Scarab Vault is a precision slingshot platformer where you drag back on launch pads to aim, then release to send your scarab on a glittering parabolic arc across sandy stone platforms. A dotted trajectory arc guides your aim while the amber elastic band stretches visibly, letting you feel the power before you unleash it. Scattered golden gems orbit each platform, rewarding bold aerial routes with score multipliers. The Egyptian visual world is rendered entirely from canvas — pyramids silhouetted against a midnight desert sky, hieroglyph-etched stone platforms glowing with gold trim, and a field of stars that scroll with parallax depth. The physics simulation creates satisfying arcs: too much power and you overshoot into the void; too little and you fall short of the next ledge. With keyboard arrow key launches and full touch drag support, Scarab Vault delivers an ancient challenge with a modern, precise feel.
