Description

About the Game

A BMX-powered pixel-art Metroidvania gore-fest based on the film Turbo Kid.





You play as a lone warrior on a quest to cross a Wasteland riddled with scoundrels and creeps who you'll have to go through - literally - in order to survive.





Run, crawl, jump, hang, and, for the very first time in a Metroidvania (don’t research this), bike your way through the world! Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the height of human-powered transport technology: the all-terrain Bike!

Your trusty BMX is one touch of a button away at any time. Move around the map faster, access new areas, launch it at enemies, and perform sick bike tricks to gain bonuses.





Hack and slash your enemies with the obligatory machete or shoot them with the Kid’s choc-full-of-mayhem Turbo Glove™. Turbo Blast, Electric Shocks, circular saws… use the array of weapons at your disposal to slash, rip apart, or explode enemies into hysterical and over-the-top splashes of gore!





Our story begins immediately after the movie ends. On your journey, you will meet weirdos and oddballs, some friends, some foes, and some in-between, who will offer advice, quests, fights, and jokes (lots of jokes) in a heartfelt and hysterical story created in collaboration with the filmmakers behind the movie.

Explore the different zones and defeat bosses in the order you see fit, make choices that will affect the course of the story, allowing for multiple playthroughs with different paths and outcomes.





If you don’t care about the story and you’re only in it for the gameplay (speedrun afficionados, we’re looking at you), all the dialogue is skippable.

Many cutscenes can simply be ignored if you don't wish to interact with them.

A Metroidvania that answers the question "what if Samus was an '80s post-apocalypse hero with a BMX bike instead of a spaceship?". Good graphics, good plot, good gameplay, good for America. In fact, it wasn't until

One of the best metroidvanias I've played. The controls are tight, the upgrades are satisfying and the map gives you multiple paths to explore. I was a bit sceptical about the bike at first, but it is actually a really

With no unity stutter, excellent pixel artwork, a fairly high production value, good soundtrack and few bugs this metroid-like with a BMX is a definite hidden gem. If you encounter that bug and see your weapons only

Big fan of the movie. Big fan of metroidvanias. Can't really recommend this one. I like the art style and how the journal fills out as you interact with people. Other than that, just couldn't enjoy exploration or combat

This is a fantastic metroidvania game. I get the same feel as I did when I played Super Metroid. It's got a wonderfully pixelated 2d world that is lovingly crafted. Graphics are amazing, difficulty level is just right.

I wished I stopped playing the game at the two hours mark and refunded it. But now four hours in it is too late, and the game is still "meh". The world is uninteresting, the level design is messy, the bike gimmick is
