'10 Second Ninja X' (ALL) Gets Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on May 24, 2016 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

10 Second Ninja X is a blisteringly fast, satisfyingly difficult and surprisingly methodical sidescroller which tasks you with completing each level in ten seconds or less.

10 Second Ninja X distills the puzzle platformer down to its purest form. Players assume control of a highly nimble and deadly ninja, tasked with destroying an army of hostile robots using cunning, speed and lots and lots of nunchucks. Each of its 60 levels must be completed within 10 seconds, making this a game you could theoretically finish in five minutes.

Don’t let the title seduce you too much – reaching the end of the game won’t be easy. The game’s smartly designed to ensure that each level is a puzzle in itself. With just 10 seconds (maximum) to destroy all enemies, players will need to combine brain with throwing stars in order to meet each level’s objectives, with lightning-fast reactions required to be rewarded with a perfect score.

10 Second Ninja X features a brand new story, featuring a cast of characters which, unlike the original game, can be released on console in Germany. Secret areas and collectibles extend the challenge – and once the game has been beaten, all the levels from the original game are unlocked, each completely HD-ified in glorious 1080p. And sadists will love the all-new ‘Marathon’ mode, which offers each area’s levels back-to-back.

10 Second Ninja was our first game as a studio,” says Dan Pearce, Game Director at Four Circle Interactive. “Despite turning out officially brilliant – <ahem> 90 per cent from God Is A Geek </ahem> – we learnt an awful lot, making 10 Second Ninja X the game we really wanted to make. Though we’re going to be sad when we get knocked off the test leaderboards, we’re ridiculously excited to see people shaving milliseconds off the time when the game is officially released.”

Key Features:

  • 60 new, tough as nails levels
  • Original story
  • Explorable hub
  • Unlockable hint ghosts through an optional minigame
  • All 40 levels from the original 10 Second Ninja included
  • Individual level leaderboards
  • Marathon mode (each area’s levels back to back)
  • Secret areas with collectibles
  • Cross save (on relevant platforms)

10 Second Ninja X will be available for $9.99 / £7.99 / €9.99.
