TY the Tasmanian Tiger for Switch surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $50,000 by a wide margin! The Kickstarter campaign is currently $96,787 funded. With this success, Krome Studios has added a PS4 and Xbox One stretch goal for the campaign. If its fully funded at $150,000, TY the Tasmanian Tiger will receive PS4 and Xbox One versions. Here’s the update and overview of the game from the Kickstarter page:
UPDATE: STRETCH GOAL for PS4 and Xbox One added! All backers who have backed at a tier previously marked as receiving a game key for the Switch, will be able to select their platform of choice post campaign, if we meet the stretch goal!
TY the Tasmanian Tiger is Krome Studios’ charming Australiana-themed videogame that debuted in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.
