Does the beta-access is also available in DRM-Free form, or only Steam?
The Stable version of the beta will be available in DRM-free form. The Frontline version with faster updates can only be accessed through Steam! (For more info on the difference, check this thread)
I've read on twitter, that beta tester get a free full version, is that right?
I'll already bought the preorder and i would've bought it anyway just to support you, but i want to know if this is true.

This is correct, so you can give your extra key away to a friend, if you like :)

I believe that if you press the steam button next to it, it should generate a key for you - you could then send that key to your friend manually. Let me know if that doesn't work and what happens if you attempt it, it might work a bit differently if you have linked your steam account with your humble account.

I have linked it and when i click that it'll activate it on my account, but i think i could unlink my steam account just for this purpose.

This happens if i unlink my steam account and then try to get the key.

To redeem a steam key, you will need a Steam account.
Steam will not provide extra giftable copies of games you already own.

Oh, I was not aware of this change!

Have you claimed the page? If you have not done so, don't do it, and you should be able to give the link to the person you want to give the copy to, and then they can link their Steam account and take the key. I think unclaimed pages can be accessed by anyone with the link.

A Note About Humble Store and Widget Purchases
The gift box will not appear on download pages for purchases made from the Humble Store, purchases direct from a developers website, or pages distributed from a Kickstarter or similar project.
In this case the entire download page must be given to someone if you wish to gift it. If you have claimed the download page and need it unclaimed so it may be gifted, email us and include the transaction ID of the purchase to be unclaimed.
Found this and you propably should put this somewhere on the purchase site, or a shortened "You can't gift singe copies just the whole site..."

How do the four pack work if you can't gift the game???

The four packs work differently, you get one key for yourself and three slime/rabby gift pages. You can also buy the game specifically as a gift through the widget, or give the page away without claiming it. This should mainly be a problem for old beta testers who already have a key!

Thanks for supporting the game! :D We're sending out e-mails asking for that information every now and then, see this question:

Q: I bought Snowbacca tier (or higher)! How do you know how to credit me?
A: We will send out an e-mail to anyone who purchased the Snowbacca tier (or higher) and ask what you want your credit entry to say. Your full name, your nickname, or both! If you haven't received an e-mail within a few days, send us a e-mail and we'll write your info down!

Oh thank you for the quick answer! Sorry, I should have checked a little more before asking ^^' Well, I'll wait then :)

For what I have played by now I do not regret supporting you. You did an amazing job! (I really loved the shooting galery making reference to "a Link to the past" ^_^

What does the Rabby Tier hat do? What's the bonuses?
My guess is that it has no stats, there are a few hats in the game that don't give any stat bonuses. I think they want the game to be fair so a "pay-to-win" hat is most likely not a thing.
