An alarm goes off every 10 minutes. Your job is to hit snooze. That's it. That's the game. It sounds easy. It is not. It's the most frustrating, inconvenient, deeply unreasonable game you will ever refuse to delete. HOW TO PLAY • The alarm rings every 10 minutes, day and night. Snooze it before it stops and your streak grows. • Miss the window and you oversleep. Run over. Back to zero. • The clock doesn't care that you closed the app. It keeps ringing anyway. • Had enough? Hold the hammer and smash the clock to bits. Dramatic. Final. Deeply satisfying. Also the end of your streak. WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS • A new daily mission, every single day, whether you asked for one or not. • A museum of collectible clocks you unlock by suffering. • A real global leaderboard against other people who also can't stop. • Lock-screen snooze, so the alarm can follow you to dinner, the gym, and your best friend's wedding. IS IT PAY TO WIN? Kind of, yes. Buy 12 hours of peace with a streak freeze so you can sleep, or go unlimited with a subscription so the alarm can never end your run, even by accident. We're not going to pretend otherwise. A NOTE WE ACTUALLY MEAN Under all the bit, this is a joke game, not medical advice. Your real sleep, mental health, and relationships come first, always. See the in-app "Real Life Comes First" screen any time from Settings. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Unlimited Streak Freezes is an auto-renewing subscription ($4.99/month).
