I stopped playing Hyper Light Drifter back in April, even though I was far from tired of the game, simply becauase Dark Souls III came out.
But as I play more and more of Dark Souls III, I really really miss Hyper Light Drifter. Can't wait to just play it some more, NG+ should be a blast. I might even try some speedruns.
I'm starting to think this will be my game of the year.

Tried again and my code for the actual game and for one of the DLC's still isn't working (only the alt drifter pack seems to be legit).
Edit: I'm guessing that there is some kind of problem to do with there being two versions of the game on EU/UK PSN stores (one with preorder discount which should have finished already) and one regular. Are the problems only for people who have the PSN version or is it XBL as well? (I remember there was some issues with Sony codes for Mighty No 9, so could be a Sony thing).
Getting exact same thing as this but no game.Same issue, I redeemed on the console store itself though.
This is my purchase history:
The game is not in my library or on my download list however.

Can't stress enough how messed up this is. You guys should've been playing this a few days early, instead of dealing with bad codes. Hope everything gets fixed for people who've been reporting these problems...
Yeah outside of a indie developer I utterly trust or a project that is on the absolute verge of not getting funded (such as the last few days of the Lab Zero 'Indivisible' campaign), I can't see myself using Kickstarter for much anymore. All of the games I've backed were either cancelled or there were active downsides to being on the Kickstarter.
I understand its a platform to help games get made that wouldn't otherwise, but I'll just be keeping an eye and not pledging if the campaigns are comfortably hitting their goals. There's no reason to 'be a part of it from the beginning' when putting your money down at launch instead generally gets you a better customer experience.
I'm very happy to help out struggling devs but honestly stretch goals turn out to be more of a hindrance to most campaigns so as long as they are on track to hit their funding goals I will no longer be seeing the need to back campaigns ahead of time. I'd like to play System Shock and Prey for the Gods but as they're funded now I'll be waiting to put money down once they release.
(Notable exception goes to Radio the Universe, infrequent but regular and honest updates for that campaign have kept me very intrigued and it continues to look amazing. Really looking forward to the buzz when that one hits.)

Do the console versions have co-op?
Reporting in... I played it last night on XB1 for about an hour - everything ran smooth as far as I can tell.
Only 'thing' I noticed was there was no way to adjust screen size boundaries. I have a 55" and I had some text in the lower corners cut off.
I notice that on the PS4 as well and I am only playing on a 40" tv.
Thanks! I wonder if it suffers from the same frame rate issues as PS4.

Does your TV not have its own ratio adjustment settings?

Same here, PS4 on a 50" tv. Text cutoff on the bottom right at the Title Screen.
Haven't received my code either (PS4 EU) though. Looking at some of the comments it seems there people on both platforms still not having received any keys yet. I checked my backerkit account and the survey is filled out correctly and my wish for the PS4 is still noted as well. I guess we'll just have to wait.
Same thing happened with Mighty No. 9. Same thing happened with the Wrecking Crew (not game-related) documentary last year.
Kickstarter is pretty bad. I stopped using it after stuff like this.

I never got my DLC code. I don't know if anyone else on Xbox got there's.
I got my Xbox code Monday night and was able to download and play it with no problem. I guess I'm the minority.

This game is lovely. The intro is incredible, overall artstyle gorgeous. Awesome music, too. Really enjoying it so far.
The game is pretty obscure though, it communicates with symbols and vague directions, I've ran into a number of situations where I had no idea what the hell was going on.
The combat is swift and brutal, but unfortunately I'm terrible with the gun, can't aim for shit [I am awful with top-down joystick shooters in general, so I totally blame myself and not the game].
Also, the game has a dedicated "sit down" button, and any game with a button dedicated to an idle animation like this is a-okay in my book.

I have one additional Hyper Light Drifter EU PS4 key from backing the Kickstarter, first one to quote gets it via PM.

Getting close to the first boss and the combat is starting to click. Specifically aiming took some time because I wanted to treat the gun as a twin stick but the right stick does nothing.
The art is incredible. Anyone that was becoming jaded by pixel art games should check this out. You could frame still images from this game.

I was a bit disappointed by this yeah. I expected the right stick to be an option for aiming. There's a gun with a laser sight that will make aiming easier though, and you don't need to use it at all with the shotgun.
Ugh yeah, so this game can certainly be tough in parts. I've just managed to clear the east part, and somehow beat the boss on my first attempt which I'm pretty proud about, but leading up to the boss I had about two situations which took me about ten attempts to get past, and when I did it was by some sheer luck. It's not particularly very fair when you keep respawning next to a fighting scenario with just half a health pack left.
Anyway, I've just got my shotgun, I've bought one upgrade which to be honest I have no fucking clue what it does cos the upgrade menu is so vague, up to the north I go! (tomorrow night)

When did Heart Machine say they'd be releasing the Alternate Drifter to non-backers?
I did back the game & the alternate drifter... but for PC. I'd rather rebut it in PS4, but I want the alternate DLC.

Back when the game originally launched. The alternate Drifter required quite a bit of work to implement and it's too interesting to restrict to such a small playerbase.

I found the info, it was in KS update #33:

This game's structure is like a diet version of a Souls game. It takes all the best components of a Souls game and condenses it to it's most basic element such as how you refill your health to planning ahead your movements and attacks.

Yup. Alternate Drifter unlocks after you complete the game.

Any update on the Wii U release?
Runs smooth. Haven't had a problem! Only beat one boss so far though.

I got in contact with Heart Machine and if you didn't get the DLC when they sent out the game codes you might get it tomorrow. I was just told my code was gonna be sent tomorrow.

Maybe you have overscan set to "on" in your TV settings?
You too...
And you as well...
