dreeps: Alarm Playing Game App Reviews

I went to an unconventional play called "Sleep No More" in the Chelsea Arts District in New York, earlier this year. I would highly recommend you read about it because in essence, you are doing a very similar thing, but the aspect lacking in your game vs that play, one where you roamed around where ever you want within a complex and would "find drama", is that you simply have only background graphics to appreciate... I dont care if hes fighting anything; often times its while being blocked by a piece of the foreground. When I go to check a text, the level restarts and I go back to a place Ive already seen, disabling me from seeing the rest of the level unless I actually want to ignore the critical texts and emails that I have coming through. As someone with a brain, I want to see a story line... I want to see interaction within the game, make it come alive and give the character some actual depth. Additionally... The "game" is kinda just broken. Hes never doing anything, hes just in a constant state of flashing white. Hes always out of HP even though Ive never checked the game that day and sometimes Ill tap him and hell go to this one screen, the one that pretty much is my entire experience with the game: the one where he sits around the lamp. Yawn. You have some serious thinking to do before this is actually close to being a polished piece.... But I really like the concept, it has a lot of potential, but turn it into a TV show, with a story line, that you can tune into, and want to continue to tune into.

The app alarm is awesome and original, but we cant forget that the main idea of a alarm, is to wake you up when you need it. Me for example like to put the iphone in silence mode when I go to sleep, and the only sound that I want to hear till I wake up, is the sound of the alarm. (Not any incoming call, text, notifications etc.) If you can give a option to put the iphone in silence mode and still hear the alarm, would be awesome!

It isnt very fun. I really like the idea. The art is great too. But its often boring to look at for more then a few seconds. I understand the point is for us to imagine the story and quest the character goes on. But there needs to be more of a story told through animations or pictures or events. You dont need text, but you do need something. Please work on this I would like to see more. I would like to give it a higher score too.

I really do want to like this, well you cant call it a game. But theres no point to it. Ive tried it off and on but there literally is no interaction. I understand its supposed to be a relaxation program, but you might as well get something that randomly generates colors and save your money.

The controls are a bit confusing at first. Took me a while to figure out how to set the alarm. But overall, it is enjoyable.

I got this cause the preview looked interesting. I knew what it was, but I get bored easily and figured itd be a change of pace. I use it at work cause I cant be playing a video games... But its nice to watch things unfold.... If they ever do. Its.... Nice. Haha. Theres not much to say. He just walks. I would hope there would be a little more interaction in an update or something. Or maybe even attempt a story. Add random events that trigger at certain times or locations. Excellent idea, but Im left a little wanting. Overall, it is what it is. A fancy alarm clock. I already use an alarm clock so... Hopefully they upgrade it in an update. *** update While I still rate it at 3 stars, Ive kept with it for a few more days. Its more enjoyable once you get the gist of it. What they dont tell you, even in the guide book, is that events do happen. On the map theres a time "ex. 21:00"... And at 9:00pm, youll reach a "boss" and once you defeat it, you get a traveling buddy. Also, one day I slept later. I usually try to keep the little guy awake when Im awake, and asleep when Im asleep. My little robot boy, didnt recover enough energy the next morning. The game was telling me I needed more sleep. Pretty inventive! Haha... Needless to say, my character barely made it to the "boss" and died. I slept earlier that night. Haha... Anyway, nothing really changed about the "game". Its just a matter of perspective. Personally, I enjoy his little journey, and hopefully theres a bit more for him to do in the future. Side note: the alarm clock saved my life a time it two! Haha.

I really love this alarm clock. It would be nice to see it expand, like he gains gear, and new skills. Even being updated on what he does in text or notifications would be nice. I came back to check on him yesterday and he had a new friend, I wish I had been there to see it happen. Great job, guys ! Edit: it would be nice if we could edit companions names and gear as well!

Did you enjoy having a virtual pet who you could feed and it would sleep and walk around? Same thing but for RPGs. He walks around in a few different areas, fights “Monteslas” and sleeps. Sound boring? Kinda is, but for some reason I keep coming back to it everyday. The music and animation is beautiful, which for me completely outweighs the repetition. Its like a beautiful tapestry on a wall, that you never get bored of looking at.

I have been "playing" for two days now and I really love Dreeps. This is my new daily companion. I no longer have time to play video games, but its very nice to have a video game that will play itself while I work. The art and interface are really beautiful. This is definitely the best app Ive downloaded in a long time. Please be aware that you wont be interacting with this game much, and thats the entire point.

Can there be a little bit of a customizable feature to main character? I understand you really dont do anything but send him to bed, but can we also have gender options? Different Clothing or weapons?

This is a beautiful interactive experience. Its like Godville in a way that it basically plays itself. I hope that more content gets added over time, maybe equipment or skills as the character levels up?

First and foremost, this is not a game, it is an alarm app. Outside of giving your robot a name, there isnt much else to do other than check in on occasion, think of the days of interactive screen savers like fish tanks and gardens. The game looks amazing and the music is pleasant chip tune ambient stuff. The world your character is in is varied enough to make you wonder how big this thing actually is. Well worth the price and I hope to see continued support from the developer; just 3 guys from TOKYO.

Heard about it on the giant bombast, made an instant purchase, loved it

The music and art style are both fantastic. I especially enjoy checking from time to time just to see what robot boy is up to.

First "game" Ive enjoyed in a while. Im sick/tired of all the same games being re-hashed and re-skinned. Not thats this is a game exactly, but a fresh take on an alarm clock. Dont buy with expectations of something hugely entertaining for long periods at a time. I buy one or two games a year and usually regret them. This is definitely not the case. 5 Stars

The games great but it feels like its missing customizable gear, character,because your guy isnt unique it will be the same robot for everyone its original and creative but lacks of difference between games i mean my robot will look exatly the same as the other players.

Its a tamagotchi with an alarm. The alarm isnt great. The part where your companion is beating the monteslas is great. Ive got one last boss to fight/companion to get but Im old and get tired and cant stay up till midnight. Still as boring as before but its pretty and "catching them all" has kinda gotten me into it more. Worth the $3. --previous review-- Its an interesting concept. I dont have much time to play games anymore so I was hoping this would scratch the itch. I havent gotten to a boss yet but I have seen battles. Ill be curious to see what else is added as the game continues. The one thing that is a little disheartening is there isnt a whole lot of any type of interaction. Its a game that plays itself. Id rather have a few prompts if Im actively looking at the screen or add a 5 second delay if the screen is active for someone to interact.

I admire the folks who made this- the experience stays with you even after the app is closed. Its gentle and calming, despite the little battles the robot faces (though I dont feel these battles are really necessary). Its nice to know my little side kick is living a rich life is some alternate dimension.

This game is almost perfect for me because I happen to be be very lazy and dont put much time into games. This game allows me to do what I do best (sit around and do nothing) and still level up and stuff. I would really appreciate an update though with more bosses and a little more customization. I also like how there arent any words, it lets you make your own story. If I could rate this overall 15/10. I would also gladly support the developers with some in-app purchases.

This is exactly what it says it is. Its an alarm with an RPG running on autopilot in the background. Dont expect anything else. That being said, it needs a snooze button, or at least a longer than 30 second alarm. I still set my other alarm to wake up in the morning because this doesnt cut it. Great for reminder alarms, maybe? I would like a little more interactivity. Maybe an auto and manual mode. Manual for if you want to actually fight the enemies. I dont know. Something to make it a little more engaging. Outside of that its great.
