Turbo Kidis a 2015 movie set in a post-apocalypse in which a comic book fan battles a local tyrant, with gory, comedic, ’80s-pastiching results. It was not a film I expected to get a metroidvania sequel, but here it is with a new demo and an April release date.
It follows on directly from the movie, with hack-and-slash combat and plenty of pixel art gore. I am mostly interested in it because it includes a BMX, with cycling used to aid traversing a world as seemingly filled with ramps and half-pipes as with genre-staples like moving platforms and flying enemies.

You candownload the demo from Steam now. It’s not the first Turbo Kid demo, but apparently this one has more polish and more zones than the version that appeared back in 2022.
Back in 2016, Alice0 used the tease ofa less interesting ’80s-referencing bike gameas an excuse to talk about the Turbo Kid film, in which she explained why it did its homage the right way.
