Dear Soccer Duel Backers,

We're excited to announce that your pledges are ready to be shipped. Most of our backers have completed the pledge manager. Thank you! If you haven't yet completed the pledge manager (pay shipping/provide address), please do as soon as possible so we can ship your order.

We will be starting the fulfillment process in the next few days, and should complete all orders in the next week. You will be sent a tracking code via email once your order ships.

We look forward to shipping your pledge and any add-ons!

If you need to make any updates to your shipping address (moved recently?), please contact us at [email protected]


Thanks, Brian

The Pledge Manager is Now Open

Hello Soccer Duel Backers,


We're all set!  This morning we sent you an email from our pledge manager, Backerkit. When you click on the email link you'll arrive at an intro page (after log-in) that will look like this: 

Please select your country and state/region, then click on the green "Get Started" button.

Please proceed to the ADD-ONS screen:

Here you have the option to add more copies of the game or even the Shady Pets or Throw Octopus games at a discounted price.  These add-ons will be in addition to your pledge level order. There's an additional weight with each add-on and a small fee as well. Usually each add-on will have a few more dollars extra for S&H.  

Once this is complete select 'NEXT' and we'll collect your shipping address and payment for shipping, then you'll be all set!!

If you have any questions or if there's something you'd like to   change or add to your order that the system is not allowing, please   email us at [email protected]


With Octopus Hugs,

Kickstarter Campaign Completed ... What's Next?
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 16, 2022 at 07:14:02 AM

Hello Soccer Duel Backers,

The Soccer Duel Kickstarter campaign officially ended yesterday (Sept 15) as an amazing success!  Thank you all for your incredible support. We're so excited to bring this super fun tile game to life. 

What's Next?

It usually takes Kickstarter about 7-12 days to process your pledge and complete your pledge payment. Once that step is completed, we will open our pledge manager. This should happen within this time range; September 22-29, 2022. We will push to open the pledge manager as soon as possible!

What is a Pledge Manager?

A pledge manager allows our Kickstarter backers to alter their pledges, choose additional items, personalize what they bought and type in and confirm their shipping address. This is done through an online survey process. Since we mentioned in our Kickstarter campaign that shipping fees would be added in the post campaign pledge manager, you will need to make payment for your shipping in order to receive the game.

The pledge manager will allow you to add more units or change your pledge. You can fully customize to ensure you get exactly what you want! We also added the option to add our other games such as Throw Octopus, Shady Pets game, and Shady Pets NSFW at a discount.

We will be using Backerkit as our pledge manager for this campaign. Backerkit will be open starting September 24 (or sooner). Please complete your surveys quickly so we can ensure we get your shipment delivered to you asap - In October 2022!!

The invitation will be sent directly to the email address linked to your Kickstarter account. Be sure to check your spam folder in case it was captured there!

We will have additional updates available shortly. Please let us know if you have any questions and requests!

Please refer this project to friends who might be interested.

What happens next?

The Kickstarter campaign will run through September 14.  At this time,  Kickstarter will process your payments, then around September 20, we will  open up our pledge Manager, Backerkit so you can complete shipping and  modify your order, if desired, with add-ons, etc.

Again thank you for making this awesome game a reality!
