I’m not a morning person at all, so this app was born from my hate/hate relationship with alarm clocks. It’s an app that works on the premise that once your brain is awake, it’s pretty much impossible to go back to sleep. It has no snooze button, and it wakes you up by persistently beckoning you to play one of its six 80’s-retro-inspired games. The only way to turn off the alarm is to win the game (with varying levels of difficulty). Once you’ve beaten the game, your mind is pretty alert and it’s actually difficult to go back to sleep, plus it’s a hell of a lot more fun than an annoying alarm sound.
