TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD post-Kickstarter Shoppe

Created by TY2 Kickstarter

Welcome to the post-Kickstarter Bush Rescue Shoppe! This nostalgic platformer boomeranged back to consoles in 2021, thanks to the support of the fan community! Discounted keys, and limited extra merchandise from the Kickstarter are only available here, and only while quantities remain. If you are looking for an item but don't see it, the system has hidden it because of low-remaining availability. Contact us. Looking for the physical copies of TY1HD? 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. To learn more about the TY2 Kickstarter campaign, you can view the Updates here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2031740950/ty2hd/posts Prices are in US Dollars. Digital goods, and game keys, are delivered after a member of staff processes your order. We keep Brisbane Australia hours, Monday thru Friday. Thanks for your support!

Video Update - Xbox One TY2: Bush Rescue HD ‼️
about 3 years ago – Tue, May 11, 2021 at 02:34:19 AM

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE Oi Oi Oi !!!

On your mark... Get set... It's looking like we're 6-7 weeks from launching the PS4 and XB1 versions! We expect to have dates to announce in the coming weeks. 

Check out this work in progress video of the XB1 version in development.  

Can you find one of the visual bugs? Here's a clue: something you would expect to see - is missing.

Answer: Oh! This is most dubious. It's the cart shadows!

Not to worry, every day the code is closer and closer to being ready for submission. Stay tuned!

Have a friend that would like to save on TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD for Xbox One? Let them know about the post-Kickstarter store, and that they can grab theirs early and save: https://ty2hd.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/  Cheers!

TY Figurine & PS4/XB1 Update - Run a bath! 'Cause the tub just got some new toys.*
about 3 years ago – Sun, May 02, 2021 at 11:26:50 PM

Figurine Series 1 - Reward Preview

Oi! Have a Captain Cook (look) at this! The first figurine prototype has arrived!

Our manufacturer has been selected and the first molds have been made, starting with none other than a TY the Tasmanian Tiger cast - painted and delivered to us for review. 

Prepare your "Oo's" and "Ahh's"... Behold! The TY prototype!

Obligatory Ooo and/or Ahhh! <3

This handsome guy stands about 7cm/3 inches, and has detachable boomerangs!

We repeat - DETACHABLE rangs!

Each figure in the set comes individually packaged on a retro-styled "toy collector" backing card.  

If you purchased/selected a reward with Series 1, you'll also be receiving Shazza, Sly and Boss Cass. Which we are happy to report, those figures are coming along nicely, too. They have been 3D modelled, cast, and have just had their first test painting.

For the five characters in Series 2, Dennis, Frill, Fluffy, Maurie and Julius, the 3D modelling is underway.

As a reminder, all physical goods are still expected to ship at the end of the year

*Also, we make no claim about their fitness for going into the water. Not yet at least. 

In case you are new to finding out about the TY2HD Kickstarter project, we ordered a limited quantity of extra units to round out the production runs. We won't be ordering any more units. So when they are gone, that's it! Want to secure yours? You better visit the post-Kickstarter store here: https://ty2hd.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/


PS4 and XB1 Development Update

What's been going on with development since the Nintendo Switch launch? Heaps of PS4 and XB1 code work! Trophies and Achievements are being implemented. The storefronts are being set up on the PS4 and XB1 backends in all their different languages, required images and game trailer videos. 

There are some hiccups with some code at the moment, so we're still sticking to our projected launch date of the end of Q2 2021, which means by July 1. As always, we will keep you updated of any changes, and will endeavor to obtain the tokens/key codes for you to be able to play the game before launch.

Checkout this work in progress video of the PS4 version!

G'day, backers! The time has come to talk about the release dates for TY2HD on Nintendo Switch systems. We've completed the submission process with Nintendo and the eShop and are now happy to confirm that the Nintendo Switch digital version of the game releases at the end of the month! (not long now....!!)

TY2HD's Nintendo eShop page

31st MARCH

  • AUSTRALIA - 12am AEDT  
  • NEW ZEALAND - 2am NZDT

How Do I Receive My Nintendo Switch Game Codes?

If you are getting a game key code for Nintendo Switch as part of your Kickstarter backer level, or if you've ordered one through our BackerKit add-on store, you will receive an email in the next week(ish) with a link to retrieve your code. The subject will be "New Digital Content for TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD on BackerKit".

You will need to retrieve this code, to enter it in the "Redeem" section on your Nintendo Switch.

If you have multiple TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 BackerKit orders, you may need to switch between your orders at the top of the page to get to the right order.

We will distribute the keys as soon as we receive them. We expect this to be a few days before launch. We expect that these will let you play before the official launch date; like they did for TY1HD!

Not getting a key as part of your backer reward/BackerKit add-on? Not to worry, the game will be available to purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop as a digital download when it launches on the 30th (31st for AU/NZ/EU).


Thank you once again to all our backers for your continued support of our Kickstarter.

We love seeing fans' enthusiasm for TY and his return to consoles for the second time.


Much love,

Krome Studios
