10 Second Ninja X is a fast, demanding action-puzzle platformer built around one rule: destroy every robot in the level in ten seconds or less. Captain Greatbeard has kidnapped you and trapped your forest friends inside his robot army, convinced you are not the fastest ninja who ever lived. Across 100 levels, it is your job to prove him wrong, one tenth of a second at a time.
Ten Seconds to Clear the Board
Every stage is a compact arena of robots and platforms with a ten-second clock hanging over it. Finishing a level is only the first step. The coveted three-star rating demands a near-perfect run, which turns each stage into a puzzle about order and movement: which robot to take out first, where to jump, and how to string it all together without wasting a moment.
Failure comes quickly, and so does the next attempt, which is exactly what makes the loop so compelling. Early runs are about simply getting through. Later ones are about finding the cleaner line and shaving off the fractions of a second that separate two stars from three.
100 Levels Across 11 Worlds
- A Full Campaign of Speed Puzzles
- The campaign spans 100 thumb-blistering levels spread across 11 game worlds, so the routes you learn early on become the foundation for longer, more intricate runs as the challenge ramps up.
- Marathon Modes
- Eleven Marathon Modes chain stages together back to back, rewarding players who can hold their nerve and keep their execution clean across a long run rather than a single ten-second burst.
- Player Ghosts and Ghost Hints
- Player ghosts let you race your own best attempts and see where a run gained or lost time, while unlockable ghost hints demonstrate a way through the trickier levels when you cannot see the route.
- Online Leaderboards
- Every level has its own online leaderboard, so even after you have collected all three stars there is still a faster time to chase and a ranking to climb against players around the world.
Greatbeard's Airship and Its Secrets
Between levels you explore Captain Greatbeard's airship, a retro-styled hub that ties the worlds together and hides more than it first lets on. Secrets are scattered throughout, including hidden minigames with a guaranteed dose of Nun-themed mayhem, and 8 character costumes are waiting to be unlocked and played.
The game never takes itself too seriously. Greatbeard is a villain absolutely certain that you are not as fast as you think you are, and that confidence makes every three-star clear feel like a small, personal victory over him.
A Sharper Sequel
- Developed by Four Circle Interactive as the follow-up to their 2014 original, 10 Second Ninja, and published by Curve Games, the sequel keeps the same tight ten-second premise and builds a bigger adventure around it.
- Full controller support makes the precise jumps and quick direction changes feel natural, which matters a great deal when a single mistimed move can cost you a star on an otherwise flawless run.
- Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards give completionists plenty to work toward beyond the star ratings, and Save Anytime means you can step away mid-session without losing your progress.
If you have ever restarted a level just to beat your own best time, 10 Second Ninja X was made for you. Study the room, plan your route and show Captain Greatbeard what the fastest ninja who ever lived really looks like.
