The player plays as an alarm clock who must wake up the mechanical pidgeon in an old man's cuckoo clock at the right time. Each night, the pidgeon requests a specific time for the player to wake up. A beat is then counted off, and the clock starts ticking from 1 o'clock. After roughly four beats, the screen fades out, requiring the player to count on their own. When the needed time is reached, the player must stop the clock. The pidgeon then wakes up and checks the time.

This gets mixed up in various ways as the game progresses: sometimes the pidgeon requests a time off the hour, and later on the music may cut out entirely. Sometimes, the music is played in swing rhythm, as well.

The pidgeon then pops out of the cuckoo clock and toss a bean into a flower pot, which blooms into a petaled flower, and a point is counted.

Sometimes, the flowers bloom into [[Hair Vegetables]] instead, shocking the old man.

Perfect!/Ace!?: The time shown is the exact time the pigeon requested. The pigeon then pops out of the cuckoo clock and toss a bean into a flower pot, which blooms into a petaled flower, and a point is counted. The old man smiles, and the game continues to the next night. Occasionally, the beans are rainbow colored, which bloom into flowers with rainbow petals. Sometimes, the flowers bloom into Hair Vegetables instead, shocking the old man.
Early!/Late!?: The time shown is slightly off, causing the clock to adjust to the exact time, with an embarrassed expression. The pigeon pops out and tosses a bean like normal, but the resulting flower has no petals, though a point is still counted. The old man looks unamused, and the game continues to the next night.
Miss...?: The time shown is completely off. The pigeon is shocked from waking up too early or oversleeping. If the player does nothing, time flies and eventually night falls, with the pigeon missing a day. Either way, the game is over.
Inputting the code word CLOCKWORK in Police Call gives the player a tip about there being a code word in this game (the word is BOUTS: every so often the flowers bloom with a letter on them, spelling it out). The code word can be put into Police Call for an easter egg.
A few characters from Rhythm Tengoku make occasional cameos during the nightfall scene, these being:
Although the pigeon and bean are not named in-game, internal comments refer to the clock as Mezamashi-kun (めざまし君?, Alarm Clock-kun)[2], the pigeon as Hato-kun (ハト君?, Pigeon-kun)[3], and the beans as Omame-chan (おまめちゃん?, Bean-chan)[4].
