Out now: See how many people you can save from the end of the world in Five Minutes Before

Would you go out of your way to save people during the last five minutes of the world? Don't tell me. I know the answer.

Regardless of what you said, that's what you've got to do in new iOS game Five Minutes Before.

You're plunged into a cityscape with five minutes ticking down on the clock and a jet-propelled hang glider to get around in.

The idea is to save as many survivors as possible before the city is plunged into an apocalypse scenario. They dance on the rooftops shooting flares, so they're easy to spot, but getting to them without running out of fuel will prove tricky.

To ensure that Five Minutes Before isn't a time loop of despair, though, there are new environments to unlock. Yep, all you have to do is collect a certain number of survivors.

Keep trying, get better, and maybe your good deeds will help you forget about the end of the world.

You can purchase Five Minutes Before for £1.49 / $1.99 on the App Store during its launch period. It will go up to £2.29 / $2.99 after that.
