A modern-day Tamagotchi
Pou starts as a small blob, hungry, and dirty. To care for them you must feed, wash, clothe, and medicate them. Pou is more than a game, they’re your virtual pet. To care for them, you must regularly feed them and check their health occasionally. Whenever you take care of your Pou, you earn coins which can be used to purchase items such as clothes, toys, and houses.
Pou lives in a house complete with a kitchen, laboratory, game room, and bedroom. In the kitchen, Pou gets his food; in the bedroom, he sleeps; and in the game room, he plays. But what about the laboratory? Well, here is where you can clean Pou and make him better. You can personalize Pou's appearance to suit your tastes, which requires you to buy objects from the store within the app.
Owning a pet is never easy
One of the reasons for the huge success of the game is its simplicity. The creature doesn't move, and his eyes follow your finger around the screen. Washing, dressing, and feeding Pou is simply a matter of dragging objects onto him. The indicators help you not to lose sight of your pet's needs, and the two slide-out menus allow you to quickly change the wallpaper of a room or change the selected object.
Mini-games are simple, putting your pet in different scenarios, such as jumping ropes and skiing. Moreover, these challenges give you coins. The app will display plenty of alerts in your notification bar. Pou will keep asking you for food, company, or to be cleaned. It also features a healthy update schedule, with recent updates optimizing gameplay and adding maps, backgrounds, and customization options to spice things up. However, it can get repetitive.

With easy-to-learn mechanics, numerous mini-games, and customization features, it appeals to casual players and those who enjoy caring for virtual pets. While the game’s repetitive nature and frequent alerts might not suit everyone, its regular updates and user-friendly design ensure an enjoyable and dynamic experience for pet enthusiasts.
Pou is a virtual pet game for iOS in which you a charged with the task of looking after an alien blob character.
The idea of Pou is that you must look after the little critter, feeding him, playing with him and making sure he is clean. It's a more sophisticated version of the tamagotchi virtual pet toys that were popular in the 90s.
Your Pou character has four 'needs' that need to be met and sustained all the time: Food, Health, Fun and Energy. The level of each of these is represented by an indicator at the top of the screen. You can feed your Pou by dragging and dropping food into its mouth, clean it by rubbing virtual soap on it, and put it to sleep when it gets tired by turning off the light.
The most enjoyable element of Pou is the games section, where playing the games also serves to fill up Pou's Fun meter. There are seven different mini games in here, including a match-three game, dropping food, free fall and a musical Simon remake.
Scoring in the games is rewarded with coins, which you can use to purchase extra items for your Pou (food, clothing, objects, etc.) If you want to fast-track your way to the goodies then you can buy extra coins.
As with any real life pet, the novelty of playing with Pou wears off after a while but this game is adorable while it lasts.
