Our take on Turbo Kid
The game replaces standard Metroidvania movement with BMX travel that also supports combat, area access, and bonus-building. It further departs from fixed progression by letting players choose zone and boss order, with story decisions creating different routes and outcomes.
What is Turbo Kid?
Turbo Kid is a pixel-art Metroidvania set in the Wasteland after the events of the film.
A lone warrior travels through hostile zones with a BMX that provides faster movement, access to new areas, enemy attacks, and trick-based bonuses. Combat combines a machete with the Turbo Glove, electrical attacks, and circular saws. Characters offer quests, fights, jokes, and choices that affect the story. Zones and bosses can be tackled in any order, supporting multiple playthroughs with different paths and outcomes. Movement includes running, crawling, jumping, hanging, and cycling. Dialogue can be skipped, and many cutscenes can be bypassed for players focused on gameplay or speedrunning.
