Introduction

It's all about pride, honor and earning tokens as you take on the balloons in the Club Pogo classic puzzle game, Pop Fu.

While focusing on one's chi is a good thing, nothing beats having this little buddy by your side as you go on a balloon popping spree. The ever reliable Foo Buddy, sits quietly in one corner of your screen, and suggests great moves that guarantee you victory, an improved ranking and a lot of tokens.

Those balloons don't stand a chance!

Menu Options

	The Options menu allows you to access Foo Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Foo Buddy and/or request a new feature.
	The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Foo Buddy. It contains backdoors to each of Pogo's Pop Fu rooms. This feature lets you enter a room even if its full. Note: If the room does not load, login to any Pogo Pop Fu game with your username and password first then select the desired room from the list.
	The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Foo Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Bug Report feature to use when Foo Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates.

How To Use

• Log on to Pogo games with your username and password.
• Launch Foo Buddy when your game opens and/or select a room from the Rooms list. Upon entrance it automatically recognizes it and is ready to work.
• Manual players can practice the puzzle within Foo Buddy's GUI and even rewind and fast forward moves using the arrow keys. Once you've solved the puzzle to your satisfaction, press the play my moves button and watch your puzzle solving skills come to life on the big screen! And don't forget about the options that let you see and play hints.
• Autoplayers need only press the autoplay button to have Foo Buddy complete the rounds automatically. You also may decide to collapse the GUI - it can always be expanded later.

Optimizing Performance

• Speed and Efficiency: To complete rounds quickly and efficiently, use the autoplay feature and select "never stop" under Options and set the Click Speed to a fast setting.
• Do it yourself (with help!)!: Interested in achieving a high score all on your own? If so, Foo Buddy is the perfect team player. Take advantage of the "practive before you play" feature by practicing the puzzles in the GUI until you solve it just the way you like it!

HELP!

It won't recognize the game window

Double-check that you have the newest version available. Do this by using the check for update feature under the Help menu on the Buddy. Also, the "News" section at the top of this page has a link to "Updated Buddies." Here you can see if the Buddy has been recently updated and why. 

Now make sure that all the system requirements for the Buddy are met. These include Windows XP or Vista, Internet Explorer, Sun Java, and appropriate display settings.

It won't work

First, go to the Help menu on the Buddy and visit the Troubleshoot page to see if your solution is there. No luck? Select the Bug Report feature under the HELP tab on the Buddy. Fill in the required fields, capture the screen, and then send it. Play Buddy Support will receive it and respond to you via e-mail.
