Poy Poy is a multiplayer party/action-game in which four players battle it out by throwing rocks, bombs, logs, etc. at each other on varying battle arenas. The time limit for each round is 90 seconds and at the end players are awarded points based on their remaining health, how many times they were able to hit others with objects and how many "lucky hearts" they were able to collect from the arena. Players can also choose from a number of psycho-gloves, that give them various special-abilities when used.
The game's story revolves around Poy Poy and his friends as they try to save their village from an evil sorcerer.
Gameplay in Poy Poy is fast-paced and chaotic, with players competing against each other in a variety of arenas. The objective is simple: be the last player standing. Players can use a range of items, including rocks, bombs, and logs, to attack their opponents.

Story
STAGES
FLATLAND
•
Items: rocks, wooden boxes, trees, logs, missiles
Logs roll over when thrown. It is possible to attack from behind a pile of logs.
DESERT
•
Items: rocks, boxes, fossils, missiles
You can use fossils as a defence to hide behind. This is a windy stage so players can't move around easily.
ICEBERG
•
Items: ice, wooden boxes, penguins, missiles
This stage is made from ice so it is slippery and difficult to move around on. There are penguins around the stage - they land regularly then slide about at high speed trying to attack the players.
MOAILAND
•
Items: rocks, wooden boxes, boulders, stone statue, missiles
There are stone statues on the stage. If you throw things at them they may get angry, in which case they will attack you. Sometimes, though, they get angry for no apparent reason and will attack you.
ROBOTS
•
Items: rocks, wooden boxes, robots, missiles
There is a robot in the middle of this stage - it is moving about and firing from a laser rifle (you can stop this if you throw a missile and hit the robot).
