Minima Time is an intense 10 second Time Waster

When you start playing Minima Time, you're instantly thrown into a stressful situation: you only have 10 seconds to live! Sounds like you won't get too far in this expansive platformer. Heck, 10 seconds wouldn't even get Mario past level 1-1! In Minima Time, though, you have something Mario didn't have: the ability to stop time!

Your time-freezing powers are limited by the number of clock icons you can collect, but you can also get to checkpoints that will keep you from going back to the beginning of the game. Press spacebar once to slow time, again to stop it, and a third time to return it to normal. Running out of time isn't the only way to die in Minima Time, though. There are traps, pits, and enemies to avoid. It's not an easy game, and I felt pretty good about staying alive for two minutes.

So, if you're looking to waste a very long 10 seconds, you could do worse than checking out Minima Time.
