Unity 5

We've finally upgraded to Unity 5. This means there are likely several new bugs we haven't found yet, so please report any issues or differences you encounter over on our forums. This may improve performance for some of you as well.

Linux/Ubuntu/Steam Machines Crash Workaround

If you're experiencing a crash on startup, try launching Poi with the "-force-opengl" launch option. This seems like an issue with Unity 5 that we're working to resolve. Steam Machine: Manage Game > Set Launch Options... > -force-opengl Linux: Right click Poi in Steam > Set Launch Options... > -force-opengl And finally, a big Thank You to all of YOU, our Early Access players who continue to support us! Sincerely, - Ben & Paul

Poi is a 3D adventure platformer throwback to the 90's era of classic platforming games.

You'll explore large areas and smaller challenge levels in a search for explorer medallions. Getting those medallions won't be easy though, as you'll need to pull off classic 3D platforming feats in order to grab them. Run, jump, flip, bounce, balance, climb, slide, swim and more to collect them all for every level. Equip explorer tools, defeat enemies and meet new characters to unlock additional worlds to explore.

Pick between a rambunctious runaway boy or girl character as you embark on a challenging journey to uncover the many secrets scattered across the world of Poi.

Key Features

Adventure: Explore new worlds and the skies of Poi in search of 50+ Explorer Medallions.
Challenge: Set the fastest times in online leaderboards across several challenge levels.
Mastery: Learn to pull off wall jumps, triple jumps, rolling long jumps and more.
Original Soundtrack: Listen to original compositions from composer Lyndon Holland.
Controller Support: Plug & play support for dozens of USB controllers, including the Steam controller (keyboard/mouse supported, too).
