This article contains information that is not officially created nor endorsed by the developers of Pou. This page is not to be deleted, as this wiki also talks about the legacy of Pou.

This refers to virtual pet games which look and play similarly to Pou, involving simulated care for a virtual creature by feeding it, cleaning it, and putting it to sleep. Usually, these games have a similar UI and minigame mechanic system to Pou, and in-game currency can be used to customize and acquire the pet's needs.

Mou

Icon of Mou
Gameplay of Mou

Mou is an unofficial port of Pou game created by hungrymousegames, intended as a port for Windows Phone and Windows devices. The player character resembles Pou as a baby, but with an oval body. It remains that way even until adulthood. Unlike Pou, there are only four rooms instead of six, as the Hall and the Bathroom are missing much like older versions of Pou. The game noticeably lacks background music, and the minigames are fewer and have different names:

The game can be downloaded on the Windows Store.

Frojo Apps

Various virtual pet characters made by Frojo Apps. The purple character in the middle is their mascot, Moy. The light blue one is Loy, and the green one is Joy.
Meep, another character from Frojo Apps.

Frojo Apps is a mobile app developer based in Uppsala, Sweden, known for creating virtual pet games for iOS and Android. Moy, a purple alien that resembles an octopus, serves as the company's mascot, appearing in seven mainline pet games, and numerous spinoffs. Frojo Apps also made similar games including Loy (a blue boomerang-shaped character), Joy (a light green character with arms), Meep (a blue character with arms), and other games starring a variety of other animals like chickens and dogs and cats.

Before Frojo Apps was formed, the CEO of the company, Fredrik Röstlund, worked for a now-defunct app company called Nealo Inc. One of the games created by that company is My Virtual Pet Care[1], 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.

Much like Pou, Moy and the other Frojo Apps games also have bootleg games and clones, a list of which can be found here.

My Boo

Boo, the mascot of the My Boo franchise.

My Boo: Virtual Pet Care Game, simply known as My Boo, is a mobile virtual pet game by the Brazilian app company Tapps Games. The player takes care of a blue ball-shaped character named Boo, and the gameplay is similar to Pou. There is also a 3D sequel to the game called My Boo 2 which was developed by the Portuguese branch of the company.

Much like Pou, My Boo also has bootleg games and clones, which can be found here.

My Chu

Screenshots from different versions of My Chu 2. In older versions, Chu (the green character) is accompanied by Fairy Puff (left), who was later replaced with Bubble (right).

My Chu is a series of two virtual pet apps created by Latvian digital artist Apofiss. Chu has a similar appearance and name to My Boo, however, the virtual pet character is green instead of blue. The player must collect bunnies and stickers which are randomly given in order to access certain items, which is a unique feature. Bubble, a small pink character (in older versions, a light blue character named Fairy Puff) who frequently interacts with the player's Chu, debuts in the second game.

The character originated as a live wallpaper for desktop and Android devices, which in turn is based on a digital artwork by the creator.[2] The live wallpaper also came with a companion app which rewards the player with items after playing minigames. Bubble and Fairy Puff also originated this way.

Much like Pou, My Chu also has bootleg games and clones, which can be found here.

My Virtual Tooth

My Virtual Tooth - Virtual Pet is a mobile virtual pet game created by Peaksel Games to teach children about practicing good oral hygiene. The players take care of a sentient tooth called Dee, however, taking care of it is similar to taking care of a Pou. The player may also brush the tooth with a giant toothbrush, similar to giving Pou a bath.

Potaty 3D

Potaty 3D (commonly referred to by some players as Pou 3D) is a series of 3D virtual mobile pet games starring a cartoon potato. The game is notorious for its unusual 3D designs and shading, unsuitable music for young players, incorrect grammar, and Potaty's more frequent than Pou. The game has various spin-offs which play basically the same (this includes Potaty 3D Free, Potaty 3D Classic, Potaty 2D, Potaty City, Potaty City 2, and 💩Potato💩) and many more games of different genres.

The same company also released two games featuring Azzy, a similar-looking character colored lavender. Azzy 1 is copied from 💩 Potato💩, while Azzy 2 is copied from Potaty 3D FREE and Potaty City 2. There also exists a Minion version of the game called Timons City.[3]

Ivi - Virtual Pet

ivi - Virtual pet was a mobile virtual pet created by Cumplibits. The game features a hot pink character in which the player must take care of. It is unknown why the game has been delisted from Google Play.

Dou RTX

Dou RTX is a 3D virtual pet game created by the Colombian YouTuber and independent game developer JasperDev.[4] The game's main character highly resembles Pou, and so are the UI and some of the minigames. This game was a fan attempt of making Pou into a 3D game, but the name was replaced to avoid infringement. The game was soon after deleted from the Play Store due to copyright issues.[5]

Pau RTX

Pau RTX is an Android parody "remaster" of Pou created by Vertex Fox (better know as Aguineu in Youtube). The game features a grotesque hyper-realistic render of Pou, and the game includes references to other indie games such as Among Us and Undertale.

Lou The Slime

Lou The Slime is a 3D virtual pet game developed by Andy Lukito, and published by Akhir Pekan Studio[6], featuring a light blue slime character. The main character was originally supposed to be Pou themself[7], and the game was originally going to be a 3D remake of Pou. This was changed later in development to avoid copyright infringement by Zakeh.

Tupek

Tupek is an Android virtual pet game created by Gear-Studio. The game involves the player taking care of Tupek, a yellow round virtual pet with round hands and feet. Much of the game takes place near a farm, as evidenced by the abundance of cows, fences, and fruit stalls. Navigating Tupek involves pulling the rug on the floor from left to right, resulting in Tupek following it. Tupek is among the earliest virtual pet games to be based on Pou. The game can be downloaded here.
