Ignoring the suspiciously round numbers and the fact that they grossly overpaid for basically everything as an indie dev on a tight budget, here is what they raised money for:

"Hire extra talent for things like music, sound effects and additional platform development like Android

Promote and market to help sell the game and fund future expansions and possible sequels

Localize the game to other regions like Europe and Asia"

Several of the things they spent money on have nothing to do with any of those and thus the money they spent on them should not come from the money they raised on Kickstarter. IMO.

Funding the game in development may have been more prudent.
