10 Second Ninja X, the lightning-fast puzzle-platformer, has landed on Android and is playable via Crunchyroll's Game Vault. Created by Four Circle Interactive and published by Curve Games, the title first launched on PC and consoles in July 2016.
Nearly 10 Years Later, It's Finally Mobile
In 10 Second Ninja X, you step into the shoes of a revenge-fueled ninja against a relentless ten-second timer. The clock starts ticking the instant you take your first step, arming you with a sword, three shuriken, and a screen full of robotic foes.
Your mission is simple: get in, destroy every robot on sight, and do it with blinding speed. The real challenge lies in plotting the perfect route, as there's no room for error in your attack sequence or wasting a precious shuriken.
While the original game featured Robot Hitler as the final boss, this version introduces a new pirate-themed nemesis: Captain Greatbeard.
The story follows your kidnapping by Captain Greatbeard, who has an unusual hobby of imprisoning innocent forest animals inside his robot soldiers. Given that most pirates steer clear of forests, Greatbeard is certainly an eccentric villain.
The game boasts 100 levels across 11 distinct worlds. For an added challenge, try the Marathon Modes, which chain levels together into one non-stop gauntlet. Stuck on a tough stage? Use ghost hints and watch player replays for guidance.

Between levels, you can explore a central hub world to discover hidden mini-games and secrets. Unlock and switch between eight different ninja outfits to customize your look.
Beyond swapping Robot Hitler for a pirate, the game's art style has evolved with a more cartoonish flair. However, the frantic core gameplay remains untouched: ten seconds per level, with zero room for mistakes.
If you're a Crunchyroll subscriber, you can download the game now from the Google Play Store.
