Can you ship internationally?
This project is US, CA, EU, AU-friendly. Pledges will be shipped to distribution hubs in these countries and shipped from inside the countries. All VAT and customs will be prepaid for customers so no one will have to worry about receiving notices.

Why are there 2 pledge levels that look identical?
When we launched the campaign, the pledge level had erroneous shipping charges that we didn’t intend to charge! Pledge levels can’t be deleted after someone has backed them, so we capped the incorrect level and created a new one. Our apologies for the confusion.

Will this campaign have any stretch goals?
It won’t. We believe in keeping this campaign simple. Time we could’ve spent creating and managing a complex campaign, we instead used to polish gameplay and make high-quality components. Campaigns end but games are forever, so we owe it to our customers to put all our energy into the game itself.

Will this game be available for purchase after the campaign?
Yes, but without the Kickstarter Exclusive Time Warp expansion and Solo Mode. For most places, we hope to have the game available for retail via retail partners, distributors or via eCommerce through us. (It should hit retail at the end of 2022.)
We will not have a Pre-Order setup after the campaign until it launches for retail. If you’d like to be able to order the Kickstarter copy once the campaign ends, please pledge $1 and you’ll have access to the pledge manager which will allow you to upgrade til before we start shipping units.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
