Any game, no matter how silly or repetitive, becomes exciting when you’re bored. I’ve played the Sony-Ericsson version of Space Invaders more than I’d like to admit. But the 5 Second Stadium Stopwatch Game is of a different breed.

It’s extremely simple: you have to push the button after exactly 5 seconds. Only you don’t see the timer so you have to guess. Can someone be entertained by something like this for more than an hour? It depends on the level of boredom, I suppose.

But the develppers were smart, see, so it’s actually got 4 modes, not just one. The other 3 are 10-Second Chicken Race (the goal is to get as close to 10 seconds as possible without going over), practice mode (you can see the timer) and challenge mode (with “varying time stages”, presumably the same thing as the 5 seconds version but with different timers).

Each set comes with two timers (in case you’re with a friend who’s just as bored, probably). So, what are you waiting for? Oh, right: for it to cost $5, not $29. And a severe case of absolutely nothing else to do.

How much under $29.99?
A little: $29 on Kilian-Nakamura.com.
