I haven't thought about this game in 8 or 9 years. The last time I played, I was in 6th grade, and now I'm halfway through undergrad. Seeing this again on the app store came very out of nowhere and the nostalgia I got was unreal. It brought me back to sitting at the lunch table with my friends, all wearing Justice and mustache-themed apparel, looking through stolen Pintrest posts on our Facebooks, and playing this game. I don't know how to feel about those memories, but this game definitely presses all the right buttons to bring them back. 4/5.

Pou is a game where you take care of an alien. You have to feed it every once in a while and put it to sleep but health positions so he stays healthy. You can play games customize Pou change Pou’s color change Pou’s designs on his room. The only downside of this game is that it could be really hard to take care of him during the week because Pou needs like help every 3 hours, so if your at school he will starve need health positions and he needs sleep. There are some reviews talking about getting their child this which I do recommend, but… If you read a few reviews it says “when my child come back from home from school takes a shower does homework. Then hop on Pou and the kid is scared worrying that Pou is going to die.”

i recently had a really frustrating experience with the game pou. i opened the app today, only to find that all of my progress had been completely wiped out, and i was back to level 1. this is beyond infuriating. i had put so much time and effort into leveling up my Pou and unlocking new features. losing all of that progress in an instant was incredibly disheartening. it felt like all my hard work had gone down the drain. i understand that technical issues can happen, but losing all progress without any warning or explanation is unacceptable. it’s frustrating to invest time and energy into a game, only to have it taken away without any recourse. i hope the developers of pou can address this issue and find a way to prevent such data loss from happening in the future. It's important for players to feel confident that their progress will be safe and secure. i downloaded this game on december 25, 2023. this game really brought me back to my childhood. it actually cured my depression. i remember the good old days, playing pou on my parents phone with my cousin. the fact that this has happened to me, has caused me into a deep depression. this game tried to tell me that i never put my email in, which is not true. i did. despite the fact that all progress was erased it somehow still knew my date of birth. so what’s up with that?? hm? (not) sincerely, - a very angry player
