Soul Rush Turbo
Soul Rush Turbo is a special edition of Soul Rush, with improved gameplay, new features, and support for Apple TV.
Mantas Puida, part of the team at Unity Technologies, was kind enough to grant us access to an alpha version of Unity with Apple TV support, without which it would not have been possible to integrate Soul Rush with the Apple TV.

Several new features!
This new and improved iteration of Soul Rush enhanced the gameplay greatly, by adding several new features, such as: life system, based on gasoline that depletes over time and may be recharged; earthquakes, which tilt the track making it harder to know where you're going; zone bosses, such as the Kraken, will now actively attempt to disrupt gameplay, and much more!
Fully playable with the Apple TV remote!
One of the requirements from the start was for the player to be able to interact naturally with the game, via the Apple TV remote. For this purpose, the UI was completely redesigned, to match the familiar menu layout of a smart tv.
As for controlling gameplay, we experimented with multiple control schemes for a while, and finally settled on a layout that feels completely natural and intuitive, making the Apple TV version of Soul Rush Turbo as responsive as its iOS counterpart.
