Developed by Outerminds Inc. (Legend of the Brofist, Tuber Simulator, Pixelings), Turbo Kid is a post-apocalyptic Metroidvania soaked in retro 80s vibes, absurd weaponry, and over-the-top pixel gore. Originally launched on PC in April 2024 following a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, this blood-soaked tribute to the 2015 cult sci-fi film is now riding onto consoles—starting with the Switch.

What Is Turbo Kid?

Set in a wasteland where water is scarce and BMX bikes are humanity’s last hope, Turbo Kid drops you into a mutant-infested world of side-scrolling carnage and over-the-top combat. As the titular Turbo Kid, you’ll explore a massive interconnected world, discover bizarre secrets, and leave a trail of limbs and circuitry in your wake—all to the pulse-pounding sounds of an original soundtrack by synthwave legends Le Matos.

Key Features:

• Metroidvania on Two Wheels – Blaze your path across a sprawling map, unlocking new upgrades, weapons, and secrets with every insane ride.

• BMX Combat – Call your bike anytime to crush enemies, perform sick tricks, or navigate tricky terrain. This isn’t a gimmick—it’s core to the chaos.

• Weaponized Mayhem – Turbo Glove, machetes, sawblades, and more—there’s no shortage of ways to turn enemies into gory pixel confetti.

• Narrative Flexibility – Pick your path. Help or hurt the bizarre characters you meet along the way. Want lore? Dive in. Hate exposition? Skip it. It’s up to you.

• Speedrun-Ready – Fast, fluid gameplay with no unskippable cutscenes or filler. Whether you’re exploring every nook or gunning for a sub-hour run, the game adapts.

This is the retro-drenched action-adventure we should have grown up with—built from the ground up for fans of old-school gaming with modern polish and mobility.
