01 / THE GUIDE
Story Premise
You play as TY, the last Tasmanian tiger raised by bilbies, who learns his true family is trapped in the Dreaming. A glowy portal guarded by five ancient talismans must be opened to rescue them.
Boss Cass, an evil cassowary, also seeks the talismans and has captured bilby friends in cages. TY must outwit Cass, retrieve the talismans, and restore his family’s freedom.
- Watch for narrative clues that hint at talisman locations before engaging Boss Cass.
- Compare the family‑rescue motive with classic platformer story beats for context.

Level Design
The remaster features 17 distinct Outback levels rendered with updated shadows, reflections, and HD resolution, all running at 60 fps. Each level retains the classic 3‑D platforming feel while looking more polished.
Levels encourage exploration as players hunt for talismans and trapped bilbies. Finding the five talismans and freeing trapped bilbies often requires careful navigation of these spaces.
- Identify visual landmarks that mark hidden talisman spots.
- Contrast the layout of a remastered level with its original version to spot new pathways.

Boomerang Arsenal
Players have access to 13 different boomerangs, including the Frostyrang, Flamerang, and the powerful Doomerang. Each boomerang offers a different option for combat and getting around obstacles.
The boomerangs complement TY’s natural abilities, such as sharp teeth, giving multiple approaches to defeating enemies and navigating obstacles.
- Test each boomerang’s effect in a safe area to see which fits a given challenge.
- Compare the freezing power of the Frostyrang with the fire of the Flamerang for strategic use.
04 / THE GUIDE
Hardcore Mode
Hardcore Mode is a new game mode that offers a fresh test for players seeking a different kind of challenge.
The mode runs alongside the standard game, giving players another way to put the boomerang arsenal to work.
- Try Hardcore Mode after you are comfortable with the standard difficulty.
- Observe enemy patterns closely as you adapt to the new mode.
05 / THE GUIDE
Steam Features
The remaster integrates Steamworks, providing over 35 achievements, leaderboards, and trading cards. Cloud saves keep progress stored on Steam, and family sharing allows multiple accounts to access the game.
These features add replay value and community competition without altering the core single‑player experience.
- Check your achievement list to guide which in‑game actions to prioritize.
- Use leaderboards to compare your results with other players.
