10 Second Ninja Critic Reviews

Instant gratification combined with those stellar mechanics mean you’ve got a hardcore platformer with the hooks to keep you coming back for more.

While it won't be for everyone, Ninja does exactly what it set out to, with style and humour to boot.

10 Second Ninja is a very simple but well designed time attack platform.

10 Second Ninja is a brief but expertly built piece of work; a game that offers the most hardcore of action-platforming but does so under the guise of simplicity and accessibility.

A compulsive burst of deeply gratifying challenge.

A short but sweet platformer requiring ninja reflexes.

A nice, hard and engaging action game in dire need of a patch for gamepad support.

10 Second Ninja is a nice action game which features good controls and addictive challenges. It's structured like Angry Birds but is not recommended to casual players.

You can go through these forty levels very fast, because they'll only take 10 seconds to finish. You must improve your play, because you need to score stars to continue. The gameplay is pretty simple, the storyline is too much, but it is actually an addictive little game waiting for you.

Ultimately rewarding, 10 Second Ninja puts both your reflexes with a controller and your own personal mettle to the test for a game that can be just as hard to put down as it is to pick back up again.

Though the stage design is carefully plotted to the last pixel, there’s little room for deviation – and none for the ultimate three-star prize. As such, it’s a case of brute-forcing the solution over dozens of repeated attempts, a process that feels less engaging here than in some of its peers.

In 10 Second Ninja you have just ten seconds to defeat every single enemy. In order to score the highest amount of points you need to complete the levels faster than that. If you like pushing yourself towards perfection you'll probably find a bit of fun here. If not, this is nothing for you.

If you love the idea of speed runs and like the thrill of making every move count to beat the clock, then 10 Second Ninja might be for you. For everyone else, though, 10 Second Ninja is a repetitive and dull game, one whose philosophy on improvement is player-hostile for the entire ride.
