The crowd-funding initiative for the Harebrained Schemes developed project received 36,276 backers, with three of those pledging more than $10,000 to the title.

The developer also received an extra $60,000 in donations from Paypal.

As funding for the project has also surpassed $1million, the title will include Linux support. The game will also run on PC, tablet and Mac.
