About the Game

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

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.

Turbo Kid



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.

Turbo Kid



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!

Turbo Kid



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.

Turbo Kid



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.

Story

Show

Turbo Kid is a gory homage to classic Metroidvanias of the ‘90s. Based on the cult post-apocalyptic film of the same name, the game serves as a bridge between the first film and the sequel which is in the works. The game is inspired by metroidvania/run-and-gun platformer classic like Super Metroid, Mega Man X, and Out of the World, with modern mechanics and storytelling techniques. The player will travel through five different zones in the order they see fit, meeting friends and foes along the way. They will have to defeat all the bosses in order to make it to the other side of the wasteland. Narrative elements are included, but are non-invasive, meaning one can skip them by simply not interacting with them making the game extremely repayable and speed-run friendly.
