「頑張るのを、ひとりでやらない。」 Focus Gameは、友達や知らない人と一緒に「自習室」にこもって集中するアプリです。 ■ 自習室で集中する 合言葉を共有するだけで、同じ部屋に入れます。友達がいなくても「グループを探す」で知らない人と4人部屋に入れます。誰が集中していて、誰が離席したかがリアルタイムで見えるので、ひとりで我慢するより続けやすくなります。 ■ 集中した時間がモンスターを育てる 選んだアプリをブロックして集中すると、その時間がモンスターへのダメージになります。倒すとコインと経験値が手に入り、育てたモンスターはレベルが上がるごとに姿を変えます(25体・全75段階の進化)。 ■ 「ものがたり」で、先延ばしや誘惑と戦う 育てたモンスターでパーティを組み、先延ばしや誘惑という心の壁(ボス)に挑むストーリーモードも搭載。集中している間、自動でパーティが戦ってくれます。 ■ ブロックは自分で解除できる、でも見られる 我慢を意志の力だけに頼りません。途中で解除しても罰則はありませんが、部屋のみんなに「解除した」ことが表示されます。見られている状態が、続ける力になります。 ■ 完全無料 課金要素は一切ありません。応援したい方向けの任意の投げ銭機能のみ用意しています。 こんな人におすすめ: ・ひとりだと集中が続かない ・スマホをすぐ触ってしまう ・友達と一緒に頑張りたい ・ゲーム感覚で勉強や作業を続けたい
