Outerminds Inc. invite you to jump on your sick BMX, turn your Turbo Glove™ on and try Turbo Kid ahead of the August 5th release for the Nintendo Switch. Launching August 5th on Nintendo Switch – and with a major update for PC players the same day – Turbo Kid throws you into a hilariously violent wasteland crawling with scoundrels, weirdos, and enemies begging to be exploded.
You play as the Kid, a lone warrior armed with a machete, a mayhem-packed Turbo Glove™, and the ultimate human-powered weapon: a BMX bike. Fight through the wasteland with a gloriously absurd arsenal — Turbo Blasts, circular saws, rockets, lightning, ooze, and more — and make every encounter a hysterical splash of pixel gore. Explore zones and bosses in any order, meet a cast of oddballs offering quests, laughs, and questionable advice, and shape your story with choices that change your path. Or skip all the talking and speedrun your way straight through.
Alongside the Switch launch, PC players are also getting a major update, including:
- New supported languages: Japanese & Simplified Chinese
- Secondary weapons now cost about half as much, because more weapons = more fun
- Improved Ooze Gun, leaving puddles that last longer on the ground
- Improved Rocket accuracy so they actually hit things
- Improved Lightning Gun, now reliably zaps enemies on the first try
- Big performance optimization for lower-spec machines
- Assorted bug fixes & polish
