A whole lot of white-knighting is going on here... A lesson on business ethics: when a company, Out of Sight Games in this instance, takes money, they are legally bound to honor the promises they made. There is no excuse, period, full stop. If they were having difficulties with honoring their promises, then the onus is on them to communicate this with their customers. Regarding the promises made for supporting the Kickstarter for the game, they have not done this.
Furthermore, and of greater concern, behavior like this does not bode well for future developers. If someone has a pretty good game ready to develop and asks for Kickstarter support, the logical inference might be that the same behavior patterns will be repeated, i.e. promises made, money taken, promises not kept, annoyed community, so on and so on. This then has the potential to put off future developers from attempting to create games because people have become mistrustful of promises made by said developers. It's a, potentially, vicious cycle. These are the reasons why, among others, that I refuse to cut these guys any slack. It's not about the additional in-game items promised as I did not need any of it to complete the game, rather the damage behaviors such as these do to the audio game developer community as a whole.
