What would you do with the last 7 minutes of your life? I would probably play something else, but as freeware goes, 7 minutes tries something interesting, and succeeds for the most part. You play as a square guy, trapped by a talkative, three-eyed floating head who doesn't seem to like you very much. You have exactly seven minutes to reach the end of the game, and frequent death throws you back to the beginning of the screen you're currently on, robbing you of precious seconds in the process. This game is tough. Many times you have to reach certain platforms before they dissolve, or else you may as well throw yourself on spikes because they don't reappear, or worse, you reach a difficult area of the level only to discover a dead end. The platforming is difficult and the controls are a bit floaty, but after a few minutes you get pretty well adjusted to it. The music is darkish sci-fi fare to go along with the visuals, and adds to the stress-inducing gameplay already present. There are multiple endings, but honestly I can't see anyone attempting this more than two or three times before tossing it in the recycle bin. At least it's short!
