What 10 Second Ninja is

10 Second Ninja is an indie game developed by Four Circle Interactive and released in 2014. It was published by Mastertronic. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Ninja's are awesome, this is an established fact of the universe. Nazi Robots from space however are not. They are trying to take over the Earth and their leader Robot Hitler is out to get you, the world's first ninja. You have 10 seconds to destroy all Nazi Robots in your vicinity and face the ultimate challenge: Hitler Robot himself. THE GAME IS ON. 10 Second Ninja is a blisteringly fast platformery, actiony, sort of puzzley gamey thing. The player (that's you) is given the task of eliminating all of the enemies in each stage in 10 seconds or less. How hard could that be?
