Pixel Clock
Remember DSiWare? Did you try Mario Clock once?
Coming from random Pixelcraftian's tweet, here's my clone of it made on PICO-8
The time won't leave you anywhere with Pixel Clock! Use any PC or other compatible devices as an interactive clock complete with a colorful scrolling background, inspired by several games. What's more - you can make Pixel jump, bash some blocks and collect coins!
"You'll find yourself thinking "Just a few more coins..." in no time!" - Mario Clock
This is a fan game made for Pixecraftian. Not affiliated with Nintendo (definitely) nor Pixelcraftian (probably?). Does not include alarm functions.

What happens every 5 min and Every 100 coins?
There’s a theme change every 15 minutes (nothing for every 5 minutes specifically :p)! As for 100 coins, you have to find out yourself ;)
Wait... Does this mean that every 100 coins it changes character?
Yup!
i... cant jump.
is there any key to do so on web?
Use Z on your keyboard for jumping. It’s by default on any PICO-8 game.
you're right!
Cool!
How did you get the time?
Thanks!
PICO-8 includes stat() function allowing to get some extra values, including time!
“A PICO-8 cart can access the current time of day, in the host system’s local time zone:
stat(90) -> year, e.g. 2018 stat(91) -> month of year, 1-12 stat(92) -> day of month, 1-31 stat(93) -> hour of day, 0-23 stat(94) -> minute of hour, 0-59 stat(95) -> second, 0-61 (usually 0-59, see note below) A corresponding set of values, but in UTC time, are available at stat(80) through stat(85).” - https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Stat (PICO-8 Wikia)
Additionally, getting week day uses special formula you can find on my Twitter somewhere!
