    Mediocre to good gameplay covered in terrible graphics, bad music and no story at all. You can't remap the buttons, although it requires precise movement. It offers some replay value to get all the stars, but I've got bored of it pretty soon. This game gets nowhere close to other platformers such as Super Meat Boy but it's an almost decent one.

    uber hard and very time consuming and can be very frustrating. Unless you enjoy to be very precise and it takes a long time to get good at it, and the story is pretty bad.

    A game that does exactly what it says on the tin. You play as an unnamed, and seemingly mute, ninja and on each of the games stages you have ten seconds to clear the screen of all the enemy robots. As you progress different enemy types and obstacles are added to complicate matters adding an almost puzzle like element to proceedings.

    The game requires some quick fingers but thanks to the tight controls and well balanced learning curve I never felt frustrated and often ended up in that “one more go” loop many gamers will be familiar with. It won’t take long to complete (2-3 hours for most people) but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with 10 Second Ninja X and I’d recommend it to anyone that is a fan of games like Super Meat Boy.

    Hard but addicting gameplay. The brief story is cheesy but entertaining enough. Worth playing and a pretty good price point.

    It’s a slick, if understated, little title that delivers a frenetic, yet rewarding experience—like the best escape rooms.

    10 Second Ninja is certainly well designed from a gameplay standpoint, but misses out on being great through the shear difficulty of it. But if you enjoy a real tough challenge, and if your reflexes are sharper than mine, then it might be worth a shot.
