The speedrunning platformer 10 Second Ninja X has officially launched on Android, exclusively through Crunchyroll's Game Vault. Originally created by Four Circle Interactive and published by Curve Games, this cult-classic first hit PC and consoles in July 2016 - making its mobile debut nearly eight years later.
Players control a vengeance-seeking ninja racing against a merciless 10-second timer that starts the moment you move. Armed with just a sword and three shuriken, you'll slash through waves of robotic enemies with pixel-perfect precision. The real challenge? Planning your route perfectly - one wrong move or wasted projectile means starting over.
While the original game featured the infamous Robot Hitler as its antagonist, this sequel introduces the eccentric pirate captain Greatbeard, who inexplicably kidnaps forest animals to power his mechanical army. Because apparently, even pirates need hobbies.
The game packs:
The visual style has shifted to a more cartoonish aesthetic since the original, but maintains the same razor-sharp gameplay - ten seconds, zero room for mistakes.
10 Second Ninja X is available now for Crunchyroll subscribers via the Google Play Store. For mobile gamers looking for something different, check out our coverage of Wittle Defender, an innovative fusion of tower defense, roguelike elements, and card strategy.
