The Story Behind "10-Second Rule"
The idea for 10-Second Rule was born from a personal challenge to break free from the endless loops of daily life.
One day, after returning home from university, I realized how repetitive my days had become. Around that time, I stumbled upon a speedrun (RTA) video online. Watching players complete challenges in mere seconds sparked an idea:
"What if a game made you complete tasks within just 10 seconds? Wouldn't that be thrilling?"
Determined to bring this concept to life, I started developing 10-Second Rule.
This game is designed to push players to clear consecutive challenges within a strict 10-second limit. While simple in design, it delivers an intense mix of tension and rapid satisfaction.
