Comments

  1. Elinvasquez: am I the only one who thinks it's kinda weird that I have to complete a mission to turn off an alarm? shouldn't it, you know, just turn off?
  2. Null Warden: why would anyone want to wake up to crowing in first place though? 🐓
  3. Nova: this mission concept is so annoying and overplayed
  4. Marekvasquez: that's kinda gimmicky but also somewhat brilliant at getting people to interact with their alarms in a non-snooze way
  5. Hollow Drift: I love the idea of a mission to shut down the rooster, but what's next - will they tie it to actual chores or outdoor activities?
  6. Felix Rana: love it, but I've gotta ask - what happens if someone's not in the right time zone for a sunrise roast? Can they just choose their own schedule instead of relying on
  7. Ashen Ronin: people really need an alarm app that's a participation trophy now
  8. June: mission accomplished doesn't feel right at 6am on a sunday
  9. Taliaweber: this is a wildfire metaphor waiting to engulf an office space somewhere
  10. Ariaadeyemixo: roosters crowing doesn't cut it when I had actual sleep deprivation playing FIFA in college 🏆
  11. Crimson Jackal: who comes up with this stuff - waking people up to a rooster, forcing them to shut it down... pretty basic design flaw, no?
  12. Selim: what's wrong with a simple alarm clock?
  13. Felix: seriously hope this isn't a thing people need. wake up calls are one thing, but getting roped into tasks immediately after is just weird 📵
  14. Jonasdiazxo: who thought this was a good idea 😂 do people really want to start their day with some fake farming chore?
  15. Liamdiaz: can someone explain why I'd voluntarily start a mission to turn off a rooster that's just supposed to wake me up?
  16. Reyesmarek: an alarm app with a built-in mini-game to shut it off? that's just unnecessary complication, what's wrong with a regular rooster sound or, I don't know
  17. Vera: apparently the new way to wake up is by pretending to be an early bird
  18. Glitch Comet: kind of an odd solution to the problem of hitting snooze repeatedly
  19. Elias: somehow I'm curious if this gamifies the actual goal of waking up feeling refreshed... 🕰️
  20. Mirage Talon: impossible how did they get away with structuring an app around responding to a sound like that?
  21. Emma: This is an actual wake-up call we've been waiting for - or not?
  22. Lucas: that's just weirdly brilliant lol, who comes up with this stuff?
  23. Solar Vesper: seriously who thought this was a good idea for an alarm?
  24. Nova: I'm surprised they didn't take inspiration from actual wake-up calls - who needs a rooster when a loud siren will do?
  25. Arlo: something about tying a morning wake-up to accomplishing something productive just feels super manipulative, doesn't it?
  26. Zoe: who thought this was a good idea, make me get out of bed to stop roostering?
  27. Dusk Vesper: why are we being conditioned to associate wake-up times with mission-based gaming?
  28. Arlo: mission before my morning coffee? no thanks
  29. Solar Mantis: I'd rather listen to a gentle breeze or some chill background noise than a loud rooster in my morning
  30. Velvet Oracle: finally someone gets it - people don't just want a wake-up call, they need an experience
  31. Zero Rune: who's going to make me get out of bed after all that?
  32. Glitch Comet: roosters are actually pretty good at waking people up, but what's with the chore?
