The world's fastest returns in RunMan Turbo, a high speed 2D platformer continuing the energetic flair of beloved predecessor RunMan: Race Around the World. Combining the essence of old school classics with tight, modern mechanics, RunMan's return brings wild enthusiasm and unhinged energy matched with a vibrant aesthetic and groovy soundtrack.
A new challenger wielding a mysterious power has scrambled RunMan's world! Each time you run through a level, it will look and play different, requiring you to master your instincts and reaction in order to get the fastest time.
Bounce, slide and run fast as heck through high speed levels across five unique zones. Beat record times to earn medals and unlock secret characters, levels, and more.

About RunMan
Created by Tom Sennett in 2003 and debuting in the Game Maker Community, the RunMan series has spanned more than half a dozen titles, including 2009's beloved RunMan: Race Around the World - a collaboration with Maddy Thorson (Towerfall, Celeste). RunMan is also featured as a playable character in indie classic Super Meat Boy. After a few false starts on mobile, RunMan returns to PC for the triumphant sequel RunMan Turbo.
