Poinpy might be one step closer to making a comeback on mobile, which we were anyway expecting ever since its exit last year. During its short tenure last time, the quirky platformer became quite popular among mobile players.
So, the game originally launched in June 2022 for Android as part of Netflix Games. It earned strong reviews from critics for its gameplay, mechanics, and colourful visual style. Unfortunately, Netflix delisted and removed it from their library in June 2025, after its exclusive licensing deal expired.
And now, Poinpy is making a comeback on mobile!
Developed by Moppin and published by Devolver Digital, the game was the second collaboration between Ojiro Fumoto and Devolver Digital following the success of Downwell. So, no wonder that Poinpy is often compared to Downwell. While Downwell focuses on descending deeper and deeper, Poinpy is all about going up.
In case you couldn’t play the game via Netflix, let me tell you a bit about it. The game follows Poinpy, a green dinosaur who is constantly climbing through vertically scrolling, procedurally generated environments.
Chasing from below is a hungry blue beast, and the only way to keep it satisfied is by collecting fruit and turning it into juice. So, you stay ahead of danger while gathering enough ingredients to feed the creature on your tail.
In a system that resembles Angry Birds, you hold down on the screen to prepare a jump and adjust its direction, then release to launch. Poinpy can bounce off walls and even jump in mid-air. However, every jump consumes one of the character’s available jump orbs.
So, what’s the scoop on Poinpy actually making a comeback? Well, the developer Ojiro Fumoto announced a CBT recruitment for Poinpy on June 17th, 2026. It was for a limited number of participants and was announced on the social media platform Bluesky.
Until we get more details on the standalone release, you can head over to the official website for more info on the game. And of course, you wouldn’t be needing a Netflix subscription this time!
