You can use it as an alarm clock as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a simple and easy-to-read design with a customizable color scheme. However, the base design of the app was fixed to one type, and according to the developer, they received feedback from users saying how they got tired of looking at the same one face clock. That\u2019s where the new DLC come in. They provide new clock designs for the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-003-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-001-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"676\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-1068x602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211209-185175-header-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>One of the DLC (and part of the Deluxe Edition) is a Squid-themed clock design \u201cinspired by a popular TV series,\u201d which is likely referring to the Netflix original series <em>Squid Game<\/em>. The circle and triangle shapes used in the clock design do show up in <em>Squid Game<\/em> quite a lot, and the digital display in the middle that acts as the second hand is reminiscent of the \u201cnumber of players\u201d counter from the show. The store description even mentions the iconic \u201cRed Light, Green Light\u201d game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second DLC has a circular, planetary design that looks like an enlarged portion of a large circle, and when the hour or minute is advanced, it rotates around to show the passing of time. A small circle moves from the top to the bottom of the screen along the outermost circumference, acting as the second hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cyber clock DLC has a cyberpunk-themed design apparently based on RedDeerGames\u2019 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1285010\/Cyber_Protocol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cyber Protocol<\/a><\/em> released back in September 2020. The time is displayed next to an illustration of what appears to be a cyborg, who glows suspiciously from time to time. The alarm sound also has an atmospheric ring to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, in the US Nintendo eShop\u2019s \u201cMost Played\u201d section, which lists software with the highest average playtime over the last two weeks, <em>AAA Clock<\/em> is ranked alongside <em>Pok\u00e9mon Brilliant Diamond<\/em> and <em>Shining Pearl, <\/em>and <em>Shin Megami Tensei V <\/em>(the list was last updated on December 6)<em>.<\/em> It seems like there are quite a few people who are actually using the app as a clock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo Switch\u2019s AAA Clock Deluxe Edition comes with Squid Game inspired clock design.
