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

A compulsive burst of deeply gratifying challenge. [Issue#147, p.125]

A short but sweet platformer requiring ninja reflexes. [May 2014, p.85]

10 Second Ninja has some decent ideas, however, the execution falls flat. The general premise of the game is you have 10 seconds to complete a small level where you jump around to avoid spikes and kill all the robots by shooting throwing stars at them, however, you have a limited supply of them so need to use them wisely. Sounds like it would be fun. 10 Second Ninja Just doesn't do a good job at creating a fun feel. First off the mechanics of the game feel sloppy. Movement isn't fun, you can only shoot in two directions, and it's just got the feel of a free web browser game you'd play on one of those sites like Armor Games. 10 Second Ninja just really lacks any quality.

Not really sure what to say, levels are pretty good and challenging, controls are also good (also i feel that they could be better). And i really like the puzzle aspect of some levels. But I just feel like the game has not reached its full potential. If you like challenging 2d plattformer like Super Meat Boy, definitely check this out if you can get it for ~5$ or less.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
