Introduction

Pou is a pet raising game developed by Paul Salameh from Lebanon. It is super popular on various Android and iOS app stores, having reached over 500 million installations. The major cartoon character in the game is called Pou, a poop-like animation character. This game is similar to Tamagotchi, in which you are playing as the owner of Pou and are supposed to take care of it. You can feed Pou with all kinds of food, drink, and fruits, shower and clean it with a towel, dress it in figs, glasses, clothes, and skins, entertain it by playing a variety of mini-games within the game itself while collecting coins. Moreover, you can also customize its room by decorating it with many elements. If Pou is happy, then it will level up, otherwise, it will become unhappy and even get sick. It features social elements, meaning that you can let your Pou interact with Pous kept by others and share snapshots of Pou onto social media platforms. While enjoying the free elements of the game, you can also unlock paid elements like wallpapers and clothes.

Game Review

Fairly speaking, the game is a good time-killer for players without involving too much effort. It also has educational meaning to children, teaching them the responsibility of how to care for and love their real-life pets, families, and friends. The only concern for this game is its monetizing feature which might misguide children to spend too much money on the game, so parents should be cautious and keep an eye on children.
