About the developer

Turbo Sliders Unlimited is the creation of the Finnish game industry veteran Antti Mannisto, who has over 20 years of experience with companies like RedLynx, Remedy Entertainment, and Ubisoft. The game is his passion project and a personal creative outlet. As Mannisto explains it, "Having worked with great game designers for two decades, I've learned a lot from them, but there are always restrictions and things you would have liked to do differently. With TSU, I was free to push boundaries in ways no sane designer would have allowed."

Community

Over the two years of Early Access, an enthusiastic and creative community has formed around Turbo Sliders Unlimited. Players have been actively organizing events and creating and sharing an impressive array of content — levels, vehicles, and campaigns — available to everyone in the Steam Workshop.

The current Steam review score is Very Positive (92.5%, for the last year 97.2%). Here are some actual review quotes:

  • "Discovering TSU has been one of the best experiences in my gaming life."
  • "This is really a great game, a gem that is exactly what a casual indie game should be. A huge yes from me, resembles the good old times when games were actually good."
  • "I've had this game for over a year now - watching the game grow and the community thrive has been a blast and it should be shared with SO many people. If you're passionate with racing games, this will ignite a spark in you that you won't let die down."
  • "The best game of this type ever made, engine and gameplay feels exactly like it should be in terms of mix between simulation and arcade, it is easy to play and difficult to master with endless replay value."
