Released by Zakeh around late August 2012, it soon became viral and was rated 4.4 by the players. It is updated sometimes, even Pou is no longer cuddlish, when, the Ponytail wig update was installed by the players. It is known that the character works as the logo.

PooPou has four status bars, the hunger bar, the health or vitality bar, the happiness bar, and the sleep bar. These affect the gameplay.

PooPou is fed by dragging the various foods to his mouth. Certain foods affect PooPou's other stats too. On some occasions, especially when fed the same food over and over again, it will refuses the food and make a "no" sound. Pou's hunger increases over time. This will drain the health bar.

PooPou gets dirty over time. It alsooalso defecates, though it only does so in the bathroom, so the faecesfeces (poop) can only be seen when the player goes to the bathroom. PooPou can be cleaned by being rubbed with the soap and washed off. PooPou can also be cleaned by holding the rain cloud over it instead of over the flowers, though this method is unreliable because it gives only half the coins than when done in the bathroom. The feces can be cleaned by simply tapping on it.

PooPou's vitality is drained over time. The rate at it is draining is increased if the food or sleep meter is at 0%.The potions that are used to maintain pooPou's health are quite expensive and should be used sparingly.

PooPou simulates parenting as the baby and the player as the parent, it is quite realistic. The player can feed PooPou, play with it, tuck it in to sleep, give PooPou medicine, clean it, talk to it and dress it up.

*The game PooPou farts/burps is not created by Zakeh and copies the original PooPou and gave it the name "Pouf".

*PooPou is popular amongst Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking diasporaplayers: this is why most videos, and "battles of the virtual pets", etc. are made in Spanish and/or Portuguese.

*There is plenty of "fake" PooPou games for kids that don't have android phones, most of them can be found on [http://www.freepougames.com http://www.freepoogames.com]
