Navigate Pointy through exciting and dangerous obstacles in this back-to-basics 2D platformer. Features 12 levels of increasing difficulty and 4 different worlds.

How to play

  • Use the arrow keys to run left, right, jump, and duck.
  • Navigate the levels to get to the flag at the end.
  • Enemies will hurt you, though some of them can be killed by jumping on them.
  • Collect gems throughout the levels. Each time you die you lose 5 gems, and if you fall below 0 it's game over.
  • Collect green health discs to replenish Pointy's health.
  • Find keys to unlock doors to bonus areas. Press up to enter a doorway.

Install instructions

After downloading, you may run into issues trying to run the game due to it being from an "unidentified publisher." As a workaround, I'd recommend using the itch.io app, or you can take a look at these instructions for the Mac version, or these instructions for the Windows version.
