Yes it's another alarm app, you can click off the post now.

​

I made this retro alarm to add more than enough friction to get out of bed. It has some cute pixel art minigames I made from scratch. Play the game for 30 seconds without dying and only then will it turn off the alarm. There's no snoozing, either you beat the game or you don't.

​

I'll take any feedback for making it better or more effective.

New game hopefully coming out every month.

I noticed video games are the media that captures your attention the most so I tried to funnel that attention into a time when you're the most lucid, while waking up.

​

I found this to be a much better way to start the day especially instead of scrolling through multiple apps first thing in the morning.

​

The first release is on the Play Store right now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eightbitalarm.app

​

A new game will be added hopefully every month.

If you have any feedback I'd love to hear it.

Yuck, another alarm app, I get it, but I think I did a pretty solid job here considering I never built apps or did game dev before.

It's pretty simple, add friction to your snooze by beating the game. Once you play for 30 seconds you shouldn't feel drowsy anymore.

New game coming out hopefully every month.
