One of the Best Video Games of the Year Is Actually on Netflix

I’d spend hours of my commute time ongameslike Doodle Jump, Angry Birds and Tiny Wings.

Then at some point, I just… stopped playingvideo gameson my phone.

But then I started playingPoinpy.

But in Poinpy you don’t go down.

Poinpy is very much a video game about goingup.

Players slowly earn upgrades, making you more powerful – like in, say, Jetpack Joyride.

The time limit creates a panicked claustrophobia in the player and I can’t get enough of it.

Better still, Poinpy is dense with flourishes that allow the best players to perform spectacular moments of skill.

In short: Poinpy rules.

Perhaps the most bizarre part of Poinpy: It’s aNetflixvideo game.

Not entirely sure of the strategy there.

Would a game like Poinpy inspire people to sign up for Netflix?

I can’t imagine it, unless it was the first in an expansive library ofApple Arcade-esque video games.
