Summary
10 Seconds is a parkour map featuring 50 levels. For each level, the player has 10 seconds to reach the end and unlock the next level, or else they will fail the level. There are 50 levels divided into 10 stages. The map also features a currency system, Upgrade Shop, settings room, seven earn-able Achievements, and a Dance Floor minigame.

History
After the successful release of Torn: Origins on July 27, 2020, Chris6d knew he would want to make more maps, but after working on Torn: Origins for ten months, he wanted to take a break. After about two weeks, Chris6d decided that his next map would be not another adventure map, but a simple parkour map featuring stages. He wanted the map to resemble the classic Minecraft multiplayer minigame servers of 2013 and 2014, even using the note block dings and chimes those old minigame servers used.

On August 13, 2020, Chris6d began work on the map, and work concluded 12 days later, on August 25. The map took Chris6d the least amount of time to create out out of his four maps, but make no mistake, the map is no joke, taking over 3,000 command blocks to work. No resource pack is required.

On September 5, 2020, the cover image and official tagline was revealed. The map was released on September 7.

Levels & Stages
As mentioned, the map 10 Seconds is divided into ten stages consisting of 50 levels. However, not all stages have 5 levels each; some have five, some have four, and some have six or seven. Anyways, the player must start by completing Level 1, and from there Level 2, Level 3, etc. A level cannot be started until the previous one is completed or skipped. The player can skip any level if they feel it is too hard, but this requires a Tin fee (see currency below).

For a list of stages and levels, see List of Levels in 10 Seconds.

Currency
As the player completes levels and stages, they will gain Tin, which is the currency of the map. The player can use Tin to skip levels, buy items from the Upgrade Shop, and partake in Medium or Hard Dance Floor levels (Easy level is free). Tin can be earned by completing levels, as well as Dance Floor minigames.

Dance Floor
The map also consists of a Dance Floor minigame which the player can play if they are running low on Tin. There are three levels: Easy (free to play, pays 5 Tin), Medium (costs 5 Tin, pays 10 Tin), and Hard (costs 10 Tin, pays 25 Tin). Basically, in the Dance Floor, a random color will be chosen and the player must hurry up and stand on that color before the floor disappears. If the floor disappears when they are standing on the wrong color, or no color at all, they will fail the minigame and may try again. To complete the minigame, the player must survive a certain amount of rounds (4 rounds in Easy, 7 rounds in Medium, 10 rounds in Hard). The player will be paid if they survive all the rounds, and will earn Achievements.

Achievements
Like all of Chris6d's other maps, the map has 7 Achievements the player can earn, each of which gives the player 10 Tin. Earning all 7 will reward the player with 30 Tin, and 100% completion.
