Overview
- Poinpy returned to the Apple App Store and Google Play this week and is listed on both storefronts as 100% free with no in‑game ads or mandatory microtransactions.
- Publisher Devolver Digital facilitated the re-release and the game’s storefront pages include an optional tip screen so players can voluntarily support developer Ojiro Fumoto.
- The game originally launched in June 2022 as a Netflix Games exclusive and was removed from Netflix’s catalogue in June 2025, leaving it unavailable on native stores until this re-release.
- Poinpy is a one-handed vertical platformer by Moppin (Ojiro Fumoto), creator of Downwell, and won strong critical praise at release for its design, controls, and replay hooks.
- The return highlights preservation risks for subscription-tied mobile games and could prompt other publishers to restore delisted titles or experiment with non‑traditional, tip-based funding to keep indie games accessible.
