Wake-Up Caller: Difference between revisions

The player plays as an alarm clock who must, ironically, wake up the mechanical bird sleeping inside an old man's cuckoo clock at the right time. Each night, the bird 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 bird then wakes up and checks the time.

This gets mixed up in various ways as the game progresses: sometimes the bird 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.

|just=The time shown is the exact time the bird requested. The bird then pops out of the cuckoo clock and toss a seed into a flower pot, which blooms into a petaled flower, and a point is counted. The old man smiles. The game continues to the next night.

|miss=The time shown is slightly off, causing the clock to adjust to the exact time, hiding the mistake. The bird pops out and tosses a seed like normal, but the resulting flower has no petals, though a point is still counted. The old man becomes embarrassed. The game continues to the next night.

|through=The time shown is completely off. The bird is shocked from waking up too early or oversleeping. If the player does nothing, time flies and eventually night falls, with the bird missing a day. Either way, the game is over.}}
