Discounted keys, and limited extra merchandise from the Kickstarter are only available here, and only while quantities remain.

Check with your local retailer/online. European Union and United Kingdom orders are no longer accepted, including digital items, our apologies. Unfortunately, we've had to make this difficult decision due to VAT registration issues.

Shut the Door, You Hit FOUR!

$175,000 Stretch Goal #4 Hit - New Boomerangs for EVERYONE!

Outstanding! New gameplay content is coming to the remaster of TY2, thanks to you!! 

Thank you backers for continuing to share about the Kickstarter, and thank you new backers for joining us in this awesome Kickstarter adventure.

Today, we've started planning and discussions about the new boomerangs with the team. We'll share more information in the coming weeks. Cheers!

Next Goal - $200,000 to Unlock More Figurines

This stretch goal is for you collectors out there. We'd LOVE to create more figurines! We hope the campaign will hit this stretch goal so that we can. It's also a stepping stone to Stretch Goal #6 for new in-game content - fast travel. 

With Stretch Goal #5, we'll create figures of Frill, Fluffy, Dennis and a double figurine set of Maurie and Julius! We'll also give all BACKERS a BackerKit.com coupon for $5 off for add-ons for use during the exclusive backer-only store period. 

4 Days Left!

The campaign is in its home stretch! This project is FUNDED and is shipping this year. It's wonderful to see so many Backers have joined us, and so many for the first time, too. Welcome!

Time is running out to join the campaign. Become a Backer today to receive the awesome Backer-only rewards, and help us to make TY2 Bush Rescue even better!

Yummy Pie Chart - TY2HD Edition
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jan 22, 2021 at 09:36:11 PM

Wow, we've come so far, backers! Half way through the campaign and we have nearly the same number of backers as the TY1HD Kickstarter - awesome! You guys rock! If you're still on the fence about pledging, definitely read on to hear the benefits.

Next Tuesday the 26th is Australia Day! We'll be grabbing the esky, packing up some meat pies, and a Pavlova for dessert. (Don't listen to those New Zealanders, we came up with Pavlova.)

Funding Breakdown Estimates

Speaking of pie, you may be curious about where your backer support is going to go, or maybe not. In full transparency, we’re sharing our costs with you.


Development costs include things like resources (people), licenses, hardware, localization, testing, and overheads.

Physical Goods include their manufacturing, shipping them to hubs for distribution, and then US shipping costs that we're paying as part of your pledge. 

What about the European backers? New this time to the pie chart is VAT/Tax for European countries. If you back during the Kickstarter, Krome will pay the VAT. Another EXCELLENT reason for European backers to back the Kickstarter now and not hold out for Add-ons! 

If you add things as Add-ons, you will pay the VAT for the Add-ons. 

Though when you do Add-ons with your pledge, you pay the reduced shipping since they will ship from your nearest hub! Another benefit campaign backers receive.

I'm New to Kickstarter, What Happens Next?

After the Kickstarter ends, Kickstarter will charge your card for your pledge. If it fails, don't worry. 

If your pledge fails with Kickstarter, you'll also be able to pay for your pledge with BackerKit. BackerKit also accepts PayPal.

We will import everyone into BackerKit.com, prepare the survey, send it out for you to answer what console key you want, input your entry for the credits, etc...  

Then, after the console 1st parties approve the game code and store fronts, we make our key code requests and make payment to 1st party. 

After we receive the keys, we will distribute them via BackerKit to you. You'll get an email that says something like "New Digital Content for TY2HD on BackerKit". That's where your unique code will be for you to retrieve.

We will endeavor to get these out before the platform's release date, and we were delighted to discover backers were able to play the game BEFORE everyone else. Getting to play the game before everyone else is a GREAT reason to back the project!

There's one week left in the TY2HD Kickstarter campaign. Thank you all for your support. Bringing forward cashflow makes a big difference to independent developers. Cheers!

Rippa Beauty Mate! 3rd Stretch Goal Hit!
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 11:14:21 PM

$150,000 Stretch Goal #3 - Unlocked for BACKERS!

Whoa that was quick! Stretch Goal #3 has been hit! Welcome new backers, and thanks!

Steve Stamatiadis will continue the new Doomeranger adventure with part 2, and all campaign backers will receive a digital copy! We will share backer-only progress updates, and a Twitch stream or two, as Steve creates the new comic in the coming months. 

Next Up - Stretch Goal #4 - New RANGS for EVERYONE

We're eyeing these two new boomerangs as new additions to TY2HD. If the campaign reaches $175,000 in pledges, we will add these into the game for everyone to enjoy!

Check out the newly revealed Stretch Goal #6! 

We've heard you and we hear that you're looking for more "quality of life" gameplay improvements - like getting around Southern Rivers faster. This stretch goal, if met, will come as a game update after release. We want to be careful we don't break any missions with this one!

1st Stretch Goal Hit and a New One is Revealed!
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 05:18:54 PM

$100,000 Stretch Goal #1 - Unlocked for EVERYONE!

Great job, Backers! You did it! You've gotten us to the $100,000 mark and unlocked our ability to add new in-game content for everyone to enjoy in the final game when it is released. 

Stretch Goal #1 - The dev team will create and add three new TY character skins, and three new Fourbie skins into the game for everyone to be able to use in the game. 

We already have some ideas, but want to hear your ideas too! Feel free to share your ideas in the comments. 


NEW Stretch Goal #5 Unlocked

YOU could have TWO NEW BOOMERANGS - A new stretch goal for the fundraising campaign has been unlocked! This one will also be for everyone to enjoy who plays the game... If the campaign raises more than $175,000, we will add two new boomerangs into the game. What do you think these might be?

Thank you all for sharing about the TY2HD Kickstarter campaign. We're off to a rip-roaring start, but we still need your help to make this remaster the best it can be. Please keep sharing and getting the word out. You never know who is also nostalgic for TY the Tasmanian Tiger.

2nd Stretch Goal Hit to Reveal a New Goal!
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 05:18:36 PM

$125,000 Stretch Goal #2 - Unlocked for BACKERS!

Good teamwork; you did it! Not only has the campaign cleared the $125,000 mark, it has also surpassed the pledged funding total from the TY1HD campaign. This is allowing us to put more into the remaster of TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD and introduce new rewards too.

With Stretch Goal #2 reached, now all campaign backers can join us with developer chats on Twitch. After the campaign ends, backers should keep an eye out for an invite for our first Twitch stream.

Also after the campaign ends, all backers will be receiving their BackerKit.com email inviting them to the survey. Then, we can distribute links to download your digital rewards of printable TY2 art files. 

Now three TY2 Bush Rescue HD posters will be going out. And the awesome character "line up" piece featuring every character in the game. 

Not a backer yet? It's not too late to join and get all of the fun rewards on offer. 

NEW Stretch Goal Revealed

Next up is Stretch Goal #3 where Steve Stamatiadis will continue the new Doomeranger adventure, whose story has elements of a potential TY5 in it. This digital comic (part 2) will be sent to all Kickstarter campaign backers when the comic is created, TBD 2021. 

In The Doomeranger (part 1 from TY1HD's 2019 Kickstarter), Australia's greatest not-quite extinct marsupial hero, TY the Tasmanian Tiger and his friends in Bush Rescue are there for the community of Southern Rivers whenever it is in distress. For a quiet country area out it in the middle of Woop Woop, that seems to happen a lot more than you'd expect.

Just when you thought it was safe to head into the outback a mysterious pair with evil intent come looking for the legendary Doomeranger. TY and the gang at Bush Rescue are up to the challenge... aren't they?

Did you miss out on the TY1HD Kickstarter campaign and The Dooomeranger (part 1) comic? We've made it available for fans like you, here: https://ty-console.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

It's not too late to join the campaign, be a part of bringing TY2HD to consoles, and get fun backer rewards and perks!
