Pou

Pou is a popular single and a multiplayer mobile game which can be downloaded for free on iOS and Android. The game was developed and published by Farga Corporation in 2012. The game’s character consists of a triangular potato looking character called Pou, which is one of the two characters and is the main character in the game. In the game you can feed, clean, customize the look of your Pou, put Pou to sleep, and play games.
This game is entertaining, fun, and simple. It can be played by people of all ages as it is family friendly. Players can make in- app purchases using coins earned by playing mini games. The coins can be used to purchase costumes, accessories, decorations, and modify the game environment.
Some of the mini games are based on games that already existed but customized to have a Pou theme. Such as a game where the player has to connect the small characters with the same colour, forming a line until the whole square of the game is filled. There is also a game where the player has to tap the screen in order to levitate the Pou and get through the obstacles, which looks like logs with spaces in between and the player has to get the Pou through the spaces without falling.
With all the different games to play, it doesn’t take long to get enough coins to buy food and health potions. Buying the outfits, accessories, wallpaper and more, needs more coins. Health potions include energizer, health, hunger, adult, and baby potions. The adult and baby potions are used to make your Pou grow and become an adult, or turn back to a baby. This game is easy but it is effective to while away the time!
