Poinpy mobile platformer returns free on iOS and Android after Netflix hiatus
The roguelite game, previously exclusive to Netflix subscribers, is now available for free on mobile devices following its removal from the streaming service last year.
Poinpy, a mobile platformer previously exclusive to Netflix subscribers, is now available for free on iOS and Android. The game was removed from the Netflix Games lineup in June last year, making it unavailable for over a year. Publisher Devolver Digital confirmed the release, noting the title contains no microtransactions or advertisements.
The game is now completely free to download and play on both iOS and Android devices. An in-game option has been added allowing players to send a tip directly to developer Ojiro Fumoto. The game features procedurally generated environments where players jump upwards, collecting fruits to make juice for a following beast. It is described as a roguelite with permanent upgrades and power-ups carried over between runs.
Poinpy was originally developed by Ojiro Fumoto and debuted in 2022. It is described as a colorful inversion of Fumoto’s earlier game, Downwell. The game features illustrations by Error403 and a soundtrack by Calum Bowen. Devolver Digital had previously stated in June last year that they hoped to bring Poinpy to other platforms in the future.
The specific date of the current release is not explicitly stated in the source, only that it is back after being unavailable for over a year. The exact nature of the post-credits scene and the explanation of why the creature must be satiated is mentioned but not detailed.
The source text contains subjective opinions which should be attributed to the author or treated as opinion rather than factual assessment. Claims regarding the game being perfect or the best price are subjective and should be phrased cautiously. The statement that the game was nigh-on impossible to play when removed from Netflix is an interpretation of availability, not a technical impossibility.
