Poi has officially transitioned from Early Access to Full Release on Steam! We couldn't have done it without the support from the community, so THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us along the way! We're really excited to see what you guys think of the game, so find us on Facebook, Twitter, or our Steam Community and share your thoughts. Also, please leave us an honest review and tell your friends about Poi if you think they'd like it. Every shout out helps our scrappy little team, and we greatly appreciate each and every one! With that out of the way, there's a lot of stuff to cover, so let's dive right in!

Important Note

For those of you who prefer to jump right into the game and skip reading the update, we recommend you start a new save file to experience the full game, as we've made hundreds of improvements throughout (however your old save files will work just fine).

Poi - Deluxe Edition

With the addition of an official soundtrack, we've added a special Deluxe Edition bundle which includes both the game and the OST for a 10% discount (15% launch discount until 2/8) here.

Official Soundtrack (OST) & New Music

We've put together an official soundtrack available through Steam here.

We've also added four all-new tracks to the game:

New Moon Music (OST: The Moon)
New Snowland Music (OST: Snowland)
New Challenge Level Track (OST: Medallion Challenge)
Final World (OST: The Mysterious Gate)

New Achievements

We're launching with 25 achievements in total -- complete with custom new icons.

Final World

The final world is now accessible beyond the Mysterious Gate. Who knows what lies inside?

New Ability: Slide Dive!

Added by popular demand, the slide dive adds a whole new way to traverse levels. Try it on slopes to build up momentum!

New Game+

After beating the game, you'll unlock New Game+ mode from the save select screen that adds a unique twist when playing through the game again.

Updated Moon

What will you find... in space?

Costumes and Hats

We've added secret costumes and hidden hats throughout the game for you to find. Mix and match to suit your style!

Leaderboard Reset

We've versioned the leaderboards for full release and fixed the remaining known exploits, so all new times should be valid (the old leaderboard data still exists, it's just been hidden). There are now 74 leaderboards in total, so we hope to see you on there! We've also added two new leaderboards for beating the game:

Game Complete (any %)
All Medallions Collected (100%)

Localization

Poi has been fully translated into five different languages. The English version alone has over 1,500 lines of text!

French (Franais)
Spanish (Espaol)
German (Deutsch)
Portuguese (Portugus)
Russian (P)

Added a toggle to disable Camera Auto-Follow from the options screen.

Several visual improvements added throughout all levels.

New Store Page Screenshots

We'll continue to support the game through launch and will most likely be doing an update to address any issues that come up after the first week. Thanks for playing! Paul & Ben from PolyKid

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).
