This minimalist, and quite challenging, platformer will absolutely make you a bit crazy if your goal isn’t just to complete tough levels butThis minimalist, and quite challenging, platformer will absolutely make you a bit crazy if your goal isn’t just to complete tough levels but also do so in an insanely limited amount of time. Sure, within a few attempts you’ll likely be able to tackle some of these tough precision stages but in order to truly conquer each level with the best time you’ll have to throw out any and all hesitation and execute every move to perfection. To its credit the controls are crisp and precise, and when you die or realize you’ve been going too slow each reset is pretty well instantaneous so you won’t waste any time waiting for your next run. Just with its simplicity and budget price don’t expect anything more than the challenges themselves, and if you like the personality the likes of titles like Super Meat Boy or the heart of Celeste you’ll find them non-existent here… so it’s take it or leave it.https://www.nindiespotlight.com/2021/08/mini-reviews-august-4th-edition.html

10 Second Ninja X is a single screen platform game, that has you controlling a Ninja, and you have 10 seconds to complete the level. So yes,10 Second Ninja X is a single screen platform game, that has you controlling a Ninja, and you have 10 seconds to complete the level. So yes, the title is pretty damn accurate!Yes, the game really is that simple, but it is also very tricky, everything is about speed, when the level starts you can look around, you will see the enemies that you need to kill, and work out a route, and as soon as you start moving, the timer starts to tick down, if you have not killed all enemies within 10 seconds, you lose. The faster you complete a level, the more stars you get, the aim being 3 stars, but you can pass the level with 1 star if under 10 seconds.There are 100 levels to beat, leader boards for each level, things to unlock and collect to add a bit more of a challenge too.The controls are super simple, you run back and forth, you can jump, and of course the now obligatory double jump, you can slash your enemies with a Katana sword, or you can hit them from afar with Shurikens, (Ninja Throwing Stars) you only get 3 of them per level, so you need to use them wisely to hit enemies you can't reach by jumping, or ones protected with an electrical shield. As you progress through the game, some enemies you come across will be immune to the Throwing Stars too, just when you thought you had it mastered, the game throws a spanner in the works.Some levels will have switches you need to activate, to move platforms, others will have surfaces you can bounce your ninja stars off, and even surfaces you can hold on to.The more stars you collect, the more levels you unlock. There are also costumes you can unlock for your ninja. And in the pre-level area, if you find the hidden CD pieces, you can unlock an extra minigame, so that is worth looking for.The GoodWith the short time limit, and the leader boards, there is a strong "re-playability" to the levels. Trying to get 3 stars, trying to get as high on that leader board as possible, and just trying to do the perfect run, really is enjoyable, and a rewarding experience.The graphics are decent, as are the sound effects.The BadAlthough 100 levels sound a lot, once you get the hang of the game you will get through them relatively fast.OverallA great little addition to your puzzle game collection, that is perfect for quick bursts of gameplay, and to pass the time.I score 10 Second Ninja X on Nintendo Switch a very strong 8/10. I very much enjoy the game.
