Pou

Pou is a virtual pet game for Android, iOS, and BlackBerry 10 phones developed and published by Paul Salameh, also known as Zakeh. The game requires you to take care of a triangle alien called Pou.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The game reformulated the Tamagotchi style genre to fit the tastes of the 2010s.
 * 2) The player character is a cute little alien.
 * 3) Numerous minigames to earn money from. All of them can be played for free since the start.
 * 4) Pou's wardrobe has a beautiful and wide selection of clothes and colors, including shirts and pants.
 * 5) The music in the minigames are very catchy and nicely made, and are also nice to listen to.
 * 6) It even has backup accounts, which is pretty cool as other mobile virtual pets don't have backup accounts.
 * 7) It is completely free to play, so it's a pretty good alternative for people who can't afford Tamagotchis.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Paul Salameh doesn't seem to update the game that much from 2017 onwards.
 * 2) The main screens have no background music, making it boring, though relaxing.
 * 3) The notification sound can be quite annoying. This can be disabled in the settings.
 * 4) The Android version seems to be the only version that is free to play.

Trivia

 * This game is popular in Latin American countries.
 * Rumors that the game has been cancelled have started when the game was inexplicably removed from Google Play. The developer only removed it to update the game.
 * A clone of the game called Mou was released for Windows Phone.
