Pou (video game)


Pou is a virtual pet game for BlackBerry 10, iOS and Android developed and published by Lebanese designer Paul Salameh. It is somewhat similar to Tamagotchi, a fad game that required caring for a simulated creature.
It can also interact with other Pous by visiting them when the game is connected to the internet or play games with other Pous as opponent via selected mini games which as Pou-vs-Pou capability the game connectivity is either Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or even via Internet. It has user account in order to save and back-up the game progress state, in case the device is cleared. The last game progress can be resumed by logging in the user's account. The user can also transfer Pou from one device to another regardless of platform by logging out his/her account from the device and logging into other device; however the application version must be same between the two devices. In 2014, multilingual support was added.
With the success of the game, it has been copied using the name Mou on Windows Phone. Pou disappeared for a few days in the Google Play Store in early December 2019 because the developer made an update to the game.
