The massive success of Pou has lead into many games with the same style of gameplay. Here is a list of some of the most well-known and most obscure of these games. This list also includes games which feature Pou but are not made by Zakeh.

==Virtual pet games==
Note: This list only features non-animal virtual pet games with a gameplay similar to ''Pou''. Take note that ''Tamagotchi cannot be on this list as it is older than ''Pou''. ''My Talking Tom'' cannot be either, as the two games are unrelated.

===''[[Mou]]''===

The game lacks background music, and Mou cannot be given any clothes. The game can be downloaded [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/mou/9wzdncrfjb2m here]}}

[https://frojoapps.fandom.com/wiki/Moy_(character) Moy], a purple squid-like creature who appears in seven virtual pet games and more games of other genres, serves as the company's mascot.

One of the games created by that company is '''''My Virtual Pet Care'''''<ref>com.nealo.virtualpet</ref>, and the premise of the game is to take care of a square magenta character which resembles the aforementioned ''Mou''. The game bears many similarities to the first ''Moy'' game, such as the reused sound effects and the general layout of the game.
