Welcome to Turbot Racing Steam Page!
My idea on make TurbOT Racing was about bringing to you a robot racing game easy to control, but with a nice level of challenge. The own TurbOT was designed with helper side turbines that will highly increase your capabilities of maneuvering through hard corners on the tracks.
The "trade" by getting such system support is that you need to manage energy feeding it, what sort of fits the idea of feel like the A.I. software that gives life to the robot.
Just get your eyes open and you will get lots of other details as the BIOS screen that will display the installed processors each time you boot the game and lots of tips from TurBOT Universe on both tracks and components descriptions.
I hope you get a lot of fun with the game, so without further ado let's get your unit activated!
intro
You are an Advanced AI driving a TurbOT, the ultimate racing machine without the use of wheels.
Your main directives from now on will be:
1) To identify the scanned elements on the environment and translate this information in fast and precise reactions to maximize your speed and predict the needed maneuvers on each assigned route.
2) To manage the energy produced by the TurbOT reactor sharing power between your turbo systems and processor, what will allow you to get better maneuverability or the capabilities to perform more tasks by second.
3) While the concept of entertainment or a full comprehension of human fun is useless to your main directives, you can use the information about the number of people watching your presentations (that we call fans) as a secondary parameter of success since this will also to reflect on the tracks we will assign to your unit and the amount of resources that ASIMOTORS will invest on each hardware upgrade on your body.
4) You will also need to provide guidance on hardware upgrades to improve your performance after each race.
You will be matched with other Advanced AIs versions installed on bodies alike yours, so, to present a better performance than your competitors is indispensable to be considered as the final and better AI version.
WARNING: Any damage caused by malfunction from your part (both to your hardware and to third parties on the tracks) will be deducted from the corporation budget assigned to the engineers that work on your version.
v1.19 (minor) Features
- Upon request, the environment scan effect (green flash) was greatly attenuated.
- TurbOTs got air boosting capabilities, when jumping from ramps or platforms you can push both Gamepad Triggers (Left Trigger + Right Trigger) or Mouse Buttons (L+R Buttons) to make an "air dash" with help of both turbines. Please keep in mind that this function consumes turbine energy a lot faster than use turbines to maneuvering.
- Optional Sponsors Bonus are now displayed in some tracks, the first contracts offer additional prizes if you collect them AND win the race, on the other hand, Achievements related to them are triggered regardless race result.
- Some tracks got adjustments/removal of obstacles to allow you to get sponsored photos more easily.
- Sponsor requested shots triggered while "airboosting" worths twice the prize (they still request you to win the race to claim them).
v1.18 (minor) Features
- Added Reverse command, you can use it through "S" key on keyboard or "A" button on gamepad, check ingame manual for details.
- Gamepad shoulder buttons (L1 - R1) now can be used to reload side turbos.
- Speed effect on screen is not tied anymore to components.
- Minor balance adjustments on some tracks.
- Decreased collision and destruction penalties on race prizes.

Gameplay Tips
- Dont let the energy on your turbines to deplete, TurbOTs relies "A LOT" on them to good maneuverability.
- Crashs just occurs when a TurbOT reaches some run speed, it is a nice countermeasure to break before to collide since this will avoid the crash penalty.
- Other way to avoid harder collisions is to overclock the TurbOT proccessor when you feel that a collision is coming, dont forget this capability.
- Overclock, Max Speed and Resistence are tied to some specific components you will install, as example, you get "more intense" Overclock effect and duration by getting better proccessor and cooling system in the workshop.
- While it is personal taste and it has keyboard support, I would like to ask you to please try it at least once on a controller and with a mouse and keyboard to find your own way of play.

This game looks appealing from the onset. That is until you realise the major flaws that make you want to quit instantly. The controls are absolutely garbage with Keyboard and Mouse (haven't tried a controller) and it's almost impossible to avoid clashing with terrain and damaging your robot. This brings us to another major flaw that is your money. You start with $5000 to spend on upgrading your robot and winning a race (the first one anyway) nets you $500. However, whenever you damage your robot during the race, you must pay for the damages not only from the racing money, but from the money you already own! Finally, the manual inside the game doesn't really explain what your thrusters do and overclock does. Other flaws are the limited options in the "options" menu, no difficulty levels on the other robots and the sole option of customising one robot. I would recommend against this one.
the controlling concept of this game is EPIC and i love it! lightposts and all kind of signs are the worst opponents of the game! XD all in one a very fun racer for between! i would love to play this with friends!
Complete Trash.
The game may be fun to play or even interesting with the progression systems in place. That is if you can play it.
This game lacks any options you could hope to have... ever. The only things you can adjust are Music, Sound and Extra Messages (whatever the fuck that means) option sliders. Absolutely no Vsync and a total epileptic seizure
If you have epilepsy DO NOT BUY
If you have 2 brain cells DO NOT BUY
Save your 1 dollar and go buy a pack of gum, I can assure you it will be 10x more pleasureable of an experience than trying to deinstall this piece of crap
It's an interesting lil game I'll give it that. Runs pretty well for me on 2012-2014 hardware. I'd say worth giving it a shot for the 50 cents for some unique bipedal robo racing
Do you like Robots? Do you like Racing Games? Do you like Racing Games from the mid/late 90s to early 2000s?
If you answered 'Yes, Yes, Yes!' (you dirty dog...) to any of these questions you may want to give TurbOT Racing a try. Although the game's depth is limited (i.e. you seem to only have one style of racer / robot to use. You can upgrade his speed, special, health, and the like... but as far as customizing his parts -which is a huge staple of both mech and racing culture- the features seem slim to nil.) You can change the colorway of one of his parts *ahem* but in a future update hopefully a new racer style or more variety in the main character is introduced.
I was worried at first that TurbOT's levels would all feel the same but thankfully most of the game's 8 tracks are unique, from an outdoor racing arena to a narrow tunnel system to a cluttered downtown city area. That being said, some of the tracks also felt like they were just "more cluttered with obstacles" or darker versions of other tracks, with the sewer / tunnel level and the outdoor racing arena's reappearance being the most obvious offenders.
All of that aside TurbOT has been an enjoyable, well-made racing game. It has a mechanic of sliding into and out of turns by using the left and right triggers on a Microsoft Gamepad... and balancing your overheating of these with LB and RB, respectively. The game also has an OVERCLOCK vision mode by hitting the down button on the dpad, though how this accumulates I couldn't tell you. From what I can tell it ~might~ (??) give you a speed boost but its main purpose seems to be highlighting through walls all of the upcoming barriers you will have to quickly navigate. This effect looks cool, and provides some nice splashes of color as you cruise along at a brisk pace through the game's environments.
Although the game could use some more track / robot variety and has some absent features seen in other racing games (i.e. the option to look behind you or an overhead indicator of where you are versus your opponents on the track), at its best moments TurbOT Racing does what all other decent racing games accomplish, in that it immerses you into the rhythm of narrowly avoiding upcoming obstacles while going as fast as you can. Thankfully the game's smooth (albeit somewhat archaic) graphics and nice, fitting electronic soundtrack along with its course variety have kept me coming back to see the enitrety of the game. I'm glad I saw it as a new release and hope other racing fans will give it a try for its low price.

Fans of the Genre<-------
This game has something that you do not see often, giant mechs without weapons. Requires great reaction time but still a really fun and cheap game although possibly in the too hard basket for me. Definitely worth a look while on sale.
