Poinpy is a vertically scrolling platform video game developed by Ojiro Fumoto (also known as Moppin) and published by Devolver Digital.

The game received positive reviews from critics upon its release, with praise being given towards the gameplay, mechanics, and visuals.

Many writers likened the design to an inverse of Downwell, a game previously developed by Fumoto.

[1] Poinpy stars the title character, a green dinosaur, ascending though various environments and collecting fruits in order to feed a hungry blue beast chasing from below.

[2] The fruits that the creature demands are indicated in a thought bubble at the top of the screen, which also indicates the time left to collect them.

Failing to collect all the fruits before the time runs out will cause the creature to spit fire at Poinpy, costing him a heart.

[citation needed] To alleviate the difficulty, permanent upgrades can be unlocked, which can enhance Poinpy's abilities.

The fruit collected in levels counts towards a ranking system, allowing the player to unlock extra jump orbs, seeds, and power-up slots.

[8] Shaun Musgrave's review on TouchArcade called the game "compelling and challenging, simple to pick up but with satisfying depth" and made many comparisons to Downwell.
