[PLEDGE MANAGER] What is a Pledge Manager?

A pledge manager is a website to manage your Kickstarter rewards post-campaign. You will need to confirm your order and shipping address in the pledge manager. We will provide specific instructions sent to your email with a link to complete your order at a later time.

A few weeks after the campaign ends, you will receive an email from Kickstarter/Pledge Manager inviting you to confirm your pledge and select any additional items you may wish to add. Within the Pledge Manager, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Add additional items to your order
  • Provide your shipping address
  • Pay applicable taxes, tariffs, and duties promptly to prevent any delays
  • Pay shipping costs

[PLEDGE MANAGER] How can I access the Pledge Manager if I want to buy games and add-ons later instead of now?

To access the Pledge Manager later, support this project with any amount under “Make a pledge without a reward” tier. This will allow you to purchase other games and add-ons afterward.

[GROUP PLEDGES] Is there a discount to the price of the game/shipping if I buy multiple copies? How do I order more than 1 copy?

Yes, getting multiple copies shipped to 1 location will reduce shipping costs per copy.

For additional copies, simply add the desireable add-ons when you pledge this Kickstarter campaign.

Please refer to our Shipping rates for additional copies on the campaign page. A group pledge is limited to a maximum of 4 copies. Adding additional copies during the Kickstarter campaign will be cheaper than adding them during late pledges.

[SHIPPING] I want to buy the game but my country is not listed in the shipping chart.

It is most likely considered as the Rest of the World in the shipping chart.

Please note the countries in the “Countries We Do Not Ship To” section too. If you have other questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]

[VATS] Are Tariffs/local sales taxes like VAT/GST/HST included in the pledge?

As we will be shipping Lion Dancers to backers all over the world, it is not possible to include tariff/local sales taxes in the pledge as they differ from country to country. Tariff/local sales taxes will be charged in the pledge manager post-campaign.

For example, if you are located in the UK or the EU, you will be required to pay roughly an additional 20-21% VAT in the pledge manager.

[LANGUAGES/LOCALIZATION] Will Lion Dancers be available in any other languages?

We are only focusing on the English edition for this campaign. For other languages, we will actively explore opportunities to collaborate with publishers in other regions, which could lead to licensed versions of the game in additional languages.

If you have a favorite Publisher from other regions, please let them know and contact us at [email protected]

[STEAM UP/MOON BUNNY] Are Steam Up and Moon Bunny available in this campaign?

Yes, Steam Up and Moon Bunny are available as add-ons in this campaign. Adding them to your pledge means they will be shipped together later during the campaign fulfillment. That being said, both games are already available for direct purchase on our website: hotbananagame.com

BackerKit FAQ

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.
