You will see all that your pet needs reflected on its status bar, an you can also get notifications if you're not using the app when Pou claims for attention. If it's hungry, you feed it, if it's bored, play with it, if it's dirty, clean it, and so on.

You can also customize your Pou's appearance to make it look fabulous to your like and, don't worry, it won't complain about ribbons or hearted patterns. If you don't want to spend your real money on clothing and accessories, you can earn enough for its cares by playing with it in different minigames.

Playing with this game is simple and amusing, its minigames are casual and you can handle them all by sliding your finger across your smartphone or tablet screen. To feed it or soap it, just drag the appropriate object to your pet and it's done.
