'''''Turbo Dismount''''' is a 2014 [[Vehicle simulation game|vehicle simulator]] [[video game]] developed and published by Finnish developer Secret Exit Ltd. for [[iOS]], [[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[macOS]] and [[Microsoft Windows]]. The game was first unveiled at [[Game Developers Conference|GDC 2013]] and was released in [[early access]] the following year in 2014, and remained in early access until fully releasing on [[Steam (service)|Steam]] on May 21, 2014. ''Turbo'' is the latest in the ''Dismount'' series and serves as a follow-up to ''Stair Dismount'', developed under their original name ''[[tAAt]]''. Like the other games in the series, the aim of the game is to cause as much chaos as possible.
''Turbo Dismount{{'}}s'' gameplay involves the player placing a [[crash test dummy]] in one of a wide selection of vehicles and aim to cause as much damage as possible to rack up points to achieve a [[high score]]. After each crash, the player can choose to view the crash with an adjustable replay feature. The game also allows the player to create their own courses and share them with other players online.
The game received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the presentation and the camera, but was criticised for being limited in scope. The game has been downloaded over 400,000 times on Steam and over 50 million on [[Google Play]]. A sequel, ''Turbo Dismount 2'', released into early access via Steam on January 23, 2025, and later fully releasing on March 13, 2026.

==Development and release== ===Development=== [[File:Jani Kahrama - GDC 2010 (cropped).jpg|thumb|Secret Exit CEO Jani Kahrama at GDC 2010]] ''Turbo Dismount'' was developed and published by Finnish-based game developer Secret Exit Ltd., with company founder and CEO Jani Kahrama serving as co-developer alongside Jouni Tuovinen, Niko Stenberg and Taina Myöhänen, credited under Team Secret Exit.<ref name="KS">{{Cite web |last=Solberg |first=Dan |date=April 1, 2014 |title=Why Are Ragdoll Physics So Funny? |url=https://www.killscreen.com/why-are-ragdoll-physics-so-funny/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928022702/https://killscreen.com/previously/articles/why-are-ragdoll-physics-so-funny/ |archive-date=September 28, 2023 |access-date=September 21, 2023 |website=[[Kill Screen]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite video game|title=Turbo Dismount|developer=Secret Exit Ltd.|publisher=Secret Exit Ltd.|date=May 21, 2014|platform=Windows|quote='''Team Secret Exit:''' Jani Kahrama, Jouni Tuovinen, Niko Stenberg and Taina Myöhänen}}</ref> The game was developed using the [[Unity (game engine)|Unity game engine]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://toucharcade.com/2013/03/25/gdc-2013-the-next-iteration-of-stair-dismount-is-looking-awesome/|title=GDC 2013: The Next Iteration of 'Stair Dismount' is Looking Awesome|last=Nelson|first=Jared|date=March 25, 2013|website=[[TouchArcade]]|access-date=September 28, 2023|archive-date=August 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812184008/https://toucharcade.com/2013/03/25/gdc-2013-the-next-iteration-of-stair-dismount-is-looking-awesome/|url-status=live}}</ref>
During development, Team Secret Exit intended to defy the standard of most ragdoll/physics sims by making Mr. Dismount a more sympathetic character towards the player. One way the developers displayed this was by having Mr. Dismount cling to vehicles, making it look like the dummy is gripping on for dear life when the vehicle is sent out to crash. During an interview with ''[[Kill Screen]]'', Kahrama went on to say the crash dummies themselves were inspired by "[[Mannequin#Representation in art and culture|little posable wooden mannequins]]" and was quoted as saying:
{{blockquote|Mr. Dismount is not a crash-test dummy, he's an abstraction of a human figure, by having a simplified, abstract visual style the viewer's attention is not on the surface details, but instead on the movement itself.<ref name="KS" />}}
Another way the developers tried to make the player feel empathetic towards Mr. Dismount was by making the player focus on the sound design of the dummy during the crash. By having Mr. Dismount make gruesome sounds during impacts, without the use of gory imagery, Kahrama believes it would evoke "a stronger emotional response than full-on [[graphic violence]]".<ref name="KS" />
===Release=== ''Turbo Dismount'' was unveiled at [[Game Developers Conference|GDC 2013]] and was described as a follow up to ''Stair Dismount''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://toucharcade.com/2013/11/15/check-out-the-first-trailer-for-turbo-dismount-the-sequel-to-stair-dismount-launching-this-year/|title=Check Out the First Trailer for 'Turbo Dismount', the Sequel to 'Stair Dismount' Launching this Year|last=Nelson|first=Jared|date=November 15, 2013|website=[[TouchArcade]]|access-date=September 28, 2023|archive-date=December 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206085403/https://toucharcade.com/2013/11/15/check-out-the-first-trailer-for-turbo-dismount-the-sequel-to-stair-dismount-launching-this-year/|url-status=live}}</ref> The game was scheduled to release in late 2013, with the mobile version releasing first and the devs aiming towards a Steam release later on with [[Steam Greenlight]].

According to Kahrama, the game had already become profitable by the time early access was finished and continued on to say that the mobile version of the game became the most profitable. One aspect of this success was attributed to [[YouTube]], claiming that content creators such as [[PewDiePie]] and [[Markiplier]] were key in helping make the game visible to a wider audience.<ref name="PGCH2">{{Cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=III0AEQEkjA|title=How indies can thrive in the modern mobile business|last=Kahrama|first=Jani|date=27 November 2016|publisher=[[PocketGamer.biz]]|via=[[YouTube]]|time=4:40|access-date=6 October 2025|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928090454/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=III0AEQEkjA|archive-date=28 September 2023}}</ref>

===Critical reviews=== ''Turbo Dismount'' received "generally favourable" reviews according to [[review aggregator]] website [[Metacritic]], achieving a score of 85/100 based on 5 reviews.<ref name="Met"/>
Critics praised the game for its presentation and cartoony violence. Many claimed the fun of the game came from watching the chaos that could be caused. Andrew Fretz of ''[[TouchArcade]]'' described the dissonance between the aspect of being a "light-hearted physics sim" whilst featuring "high speed collisions and dismemberment" to be one of the big enjoyments of the game for him.<ref name="TA" /> The cartoony violence of the game had ''[[Pocket Gamer]]'''s Nadia Oxford recommend the game to "fans of [[slapstick]] antics from [[The Three Stooges]]".<ref name="PG" />
The camera and replay feature were also received positively. The replay feature was described as having a lot of options to review the crashes; the feature supported the gameplay to the fullest according to ''[[Gamezebo]]''.<ref name="GZ" /> ''Pocket Gamer'' described the camera as being executed well for being fully adjustable.<ref name="PG" />
Critics were mixed on the game's overall substance, describing it as being "a bit shallow".<ref name="PG" /> Carter Dotson from ''Gamezebo'' noted that whilst ''Turbo Dismount'' was fun and had variety, it was "limited in scope" and "repetitive"; detailing that the game did not have a lot to offer outside of the main gameplay and said this likely came down to the concept rather than execution.<ref name="GZ" />
