Looks like Republique made it and with an extra 50k to boot.
It makes me think that the backers are almost more important than the actual money, there seems to be nothing a dedicated core group of backers can't accomplish on kickstarter.
Starlight Inception and Republique have definitely been interesting to watch.
spindown: In the end, this is still just a mobile game with about five hours of gameplay. I'm not sure how they managed to get people so excited about it. Isn't that really how the world (and the people in it) works though? I mean I'm not sure how people can get excited over a bunch of guys kicking a ball around a field....but there you go.
EDIT: It looks like Starbound might have some competition in the form of "Edge of Space":

It seems quite a bit like Terraria in space, except grittier.
