The lightning-fast puzzle-platformer 10 Second Ninja X is now available on Android, playable through the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Originally developed by Four Circle Interactive and published by Curve Games, it first launched on PC and consoles back in July 2016.
After Nearly a Decade, It's Finally on Mobile
In 10 Second Ninja X, you are a grudge-bearing ninja with a strict ten-second timer. The clock starts ticking the instant you move on each level. Armed with a sword and three shuriken, you must eliminate every robotic enemy in sight.
Your mission is simple: get in, destroy every robot on the screen, and do it incredibly fast. Success hinges on planning the optimal route, as a single misstep in your sequence or a wasted shuriken can cost you the run.
The original 10 Second Ninja featured Robot Hitler as the primary villain. In this installment, he's been replaced by a pirate-themed antagonist named Captain Greatbeard.
The story goes that Captain Greatbeard has kidnapped you. He has a peculiar hobby of trapping innocent forest animals inside his robot army. Given that pirates aren't typically found in forests, Greatbeard is certainly an eccentric character.
The game features 100 levels spread across 11 distinct worlds. You can also tackle Marathon Modes, which chain multiple levels together in a single, uninterrupted challenge. For tougher stages, ghost hints and player replays are available to assist you.

You can explore the hub world to discover hidden mini-games and secrets. There are also eight different costumes to unlock, allowing you to customize your ninja's appearance.
Aside from the villain swap, 10 Second Ninja X shifts towards a more cartoonish visual style compared to its predecessor. However, its core, high-stakes gameplay loop remains unchanged: you have just ten seconds, and there is zero room for error.
If you have a Crunchyroll subscription, you can download the game from the Google Play Store right now.
