Players can personalize their Pou by feeding and caring for it, observing its growth, engaging in Game Room activities, and collecting coins. They can also explore potions at the Lab, dress up Pou with various outfits, hats, and eyeglasses, and customize room wallpapers. Achievements and special items can be unlocked, friends can be visited and played with, and interactions with Pou are possible. The game features a range of mini-games like hill drive, sky hop, water hop, jet Pou, and food drop to entertain Pou.
