Backed this on Kickstarter all the way back in 2021. It's finally been released on Steam and looks great!

I'm waiting for the Switch version, which they say won't be too far behind, but if you get it on Steam do post your impressions in this thread.

I just did a big indie buy today with Children of the Sun, Minishoot Adventures, and Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom. So I'll wait on this, but I'll keep an eye on it

Excited to give it a go when it hits consoles.

Love the movie and the soundtrack remains in my rotation to this day. It's fantastic.

Glad to see they are doing the game as well.

Updated the OP.

I note they also say a film sequel is in the works as well, hope that's still the case.

This is an unexpected surprise. I loved Turbo Kid and always thought it would make for a great video game.

They were aiming to have the Switch version release at the same time, but it's taking a bit longer. I'll update the thread as soon as it's out.

I just heard of Laika a few days ago...demo was really good. Surprised it's not well known...but then again maybe it is and I just completely missed it.

One of my favorite games last year. Incredible music and mood, really good story and characters. It got very hard though, and I think the bike combat was a bit much for a lot of people. Turbo Kid's part-on and part-off approach seems like it might go down easier.

Put a few hours in, this is really wonderful. Surprised how polished it is. Lovely art, tight controls and really enjoying the traversal. Get on it.

Hoping for a physical on this. I believe one of the Kickstarter goals was a physical edition, so maybe it'll get a wider release?

I thought this was about the anime series with that kid that could transform into a car while showering. But that was called Turbo Teen. lol

Didn't even know this was a thing, and yet here I am thinking about watching the film again over the last three weeks.

Started a new save as my previous 8 hour save got corrupted somehow :(

Now 12 hours in and 2 chips down, why on earth did I not think to use the
jump dash to reach the ladder to the abandoned mall? The jump looked too high!
