If you missed Poinpy when it was tied to Netflix, this is your cue to jump in: the mobile platformer is now available for free on iOS and Android. Here’s what changed, who made it, and what to expect from the green blob’s high-pressure climb.
What changed: Poinpy is now free on mobile
Poinpy is available at no cost now, with the game re-released for iOS and Android devices. The announcement follows the title’s earlier departure from Netflix’s game subscription service last summer—meaning players can access it again without a subscription barrier.
Who made it and what you’ll be doing in-game
The game is developed by Moppin, who is also known as Ojiro Fumoto—creator of Downwell. In Poinpy, you control the titular green blob as it climbs upward across the screen using a limited number of bouncy jumps. While you’re moving, you’ll also be collecting ingredients intended to make juice for a hungry beast that’s pursuing you.
Bonus credits: soundtrack and connections to other projects
Poinpy’s soundtrack is composed by Calum Bowen. Bowen has more recently been involved with sound design work on The Mermaid Mask, a mystery game the source recommends. On the creator side, Ojiro Fumoto also contributed to UFO 50 and directed Seaside Drive—ties that help place Poinpy within a broader portfolio of indie-focused experimentation.
What players should know
- Poinpy is available for free on iOS and Android.
- It previously left Netflix’s game subscription service last summer.
- Gameplay centers on climbing with a limited number of bouncy jumps while collecting ingredients to make juice for a pursuing beast.
Expert View
Poinpy’s free return is a straightforward win for mobile platforming fans, especially if you didn’t have access to Netflix’s subscription era. The source also points to an 8/10 review from GameSpot’s executive editor Kyle Hilliard (mobile editor at the time), which suggests there’s enough substance to justify a download beyond the novelty of going free. If you like tight, risk-and-reward climb mechanics, it’s worth trying now that the subscription requirement is gone.
