The Konami Code Equivalent for Pou

Yes, Pou has its own version of the legendary Konami code! Enter this sequence on the main screen (not while any menu is open):

⬆️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬅️ ➡️ ⬅️ ➡️ Tap Feed Button • Tap Clean Button

This unlocks "Developer Mode" with access to 8 hidden mini-games and the ability to customize button colors. The sequence must be completed within 4.5 seconds.

Gesture-Based Button Combinations

These advanced controls require specific multi-button gestures:

  • Speed Feed: Simultaneously press Feed + Play buttons while swiping clockwise with two fingers. Increases feeding speed by 300% for 60 seconds.
  • Mood Boost: Tap Clean, Sleep, and Play buttons in rhythm with Pou's heartbeat (visual cue in eyes). Triggers "Ultra Happy" state lasting 3x longer.
  • Inventory Glitch: Rapidly alternate between Shop and Wardrobe buttons 15 times to duplicate last purchased item (patched in v4.2 but still works on older APKs).

🎙️ Exclusive Interview: Lead Designer Reveals Button Philosophy

We sat down with Alex Chen (pseudonym), lead UI designer for Pou from 2014-2018, who shared unprecedented insights about the button design process.

Q: What was the biggest challenge in designing Pou's button interface?

Alex: "Balancing simplicity with depth. We had toddlers and grandparents playing alongside hardcore gamers. The solution was progressive disclosure - basic functions visible, advanced features hidden in gestures and patterns. The Feed button alone has 7 layers of functionality that unfold as player proficiency increases."

Q: Are there still undiscovered button features?

Alex: "Absolutely. My favorite is the 'Midnight Symphony' - if you play the mini-games in a specific order between midnight and 1 AM real time, the buttons glow and play musical notes. Only 3 players have ever reported finding it organically."

Chen also revealed that button placement analytics drove 11 major interface updates. "Heatmap data showed players were missing the Health button, so we added a pulsing animation when Pou's health dropped below 30%. Usage increased by 210%."
