In the end it’ll be anywhere between the RRP of $9.99 and the lowest price of $5.99.

“10 Second Ninja X may look like a straightforward action platformer,” says Dan Pearce from developer Four Circle Interactive, “but it’s so much more than that. Achieving three stars on any level is a challenge – so we wanted to reward those who gain stars in the demo by offering a real, financial reward. With 15 stars available in the demo, we only need 3334 players to demonstrate total mastery. We have every faith that the challenge will be met.”

10 Second Ninja X releases on July 19, probably at $5.99.
