year. Five Minutes to Kill (Yourself), originally an online game
from Adult Swim, is brought to the iPhone with enhanced features
added on top of the original terrific gameplay and storyline The
iPhone version offers a multiplayer mode (via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth),
and a direct connection to Facebook for players to publish their
scores and comments onto their walls. In the game, you're a common,
everyday desk jockey at some blah company, sitting in your blah
cubicle. Suddenly you decide that you'd rather die than go to
another stupid meeting. But how to get the job done? This
fast-paced adventure game gives you exactly 5 minutes to kill
yourself before the next boring meeting starts. Fortunately, your
office is filled with a great variety of fun and dangerous objects:
staplers, copiers, blow torches, a shark tank, and even a pack of
rabid weasels. Game Features: -- Easy-to-use controls makes killing
yourself a delight -- A three-storey office for you to explore and
discover the most efficient ways to kill yourself -- Ordinary
office supplies and equipments which help you to die in
extraordinary ways -- Provoke co-workers by using small talk that's
as rude and offensive as possible! -- Challenge friends or even a
stranger in a race to the death in the multiplayer mode -- Taunt
your Facebook friends with your score showing how well you managed
to end your life "We are excited to have teamed up with Adult Swim
on another iPhone game to expand their iPhone product portfolio
after our previous successful collaboration on Amateur Surgeon.

iPhone," said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
