Pou Eye Doctor was a mobile casual game released around 2013 by independent developer Belanl Peter and published on Google Play.[1] It is considered a bootleg of the 2012 virtual pet game Pou. The game was soon removed for unknown reasons, the possible reason for this was due to copyright infringement towards Pou, since during that time Zakeh Limited (the developers of Pou) were removing games from the Play Store that used the game's character.
Gameplay
It functioned like health-caring Flash games, just except the patient was a poorly made Pou with eyeglasses. The game consisted of taking care of the Pou's eyes.
Availability
Although the game had over 500,000 downloads on Google Play, it had no gameplay footage or download files available for a decade. Although the Wayback Machine link to the game on Google Play is available, the download button is unclickable. The only material left of the game before being found were three screenshots visible on the Wayback Machine link, and the email address of the game's creator, Belanl Peter (petersenb439@gmail.com), which is linked on the Wayback Machine link.
There is also a Flash game that uses the same assets and gameplay that Pou Eye Doctor used, however, it was developed by another developer (JocuriKids) and has a different title: Pou Wearing Glasses.[2]
The game was found on July 12, 2024 by the user CubeFun, and a gameplay was uploaded to YouTube the next day by epicgamer3957. the game's APK can be downloaded here. (NOTE: It only works for older Android versions)
