Putting aside the pitch that we know was a total farce, what about the items that 22cans were offering for backer/stretch rewards*...and how impossible were they in the first place? Some of these, on a design basis, are so out there in personalisation - especially for mobile. Numerically, these are just...well, take a look:

Non-personalised tier rewards:
Wishing WellMicrotransactionsThe Pit of Doom (EL OH EL "exclusive"!)- The Art Book (22cans held a poll to see which they would make, an Art Book or a Making Of Godus Book, but then did whatever they wanted to anyways.)
- STUDENT - 359 backed this tier - was there any guest lecture at a university? Does Train2Game count?
- Game achievement/trophy (Godus has no achievements at all according to Steam.)
- 3 Additional singleplayer and multiplayer game modes (STILL MIA for the foreseeable forever since single-player development went to two island maps and stalled out while the "Combat Sprint" has been going on instead.)
- Begin your own sect "A deep social and competitive feature" (Does sculpting count? Get it? "Deep"? Hahahaha...ha...)
- James Leach writes game story (22cans EPIC FAIL'd this one hard.)
- Multiplayer co-op and Possession Mode (How DO you co-op a cow clicker? "Can you click on my belief bubbles for me?" or something like that? Also, no real point for a Possession Mode at this time in game state and in the offered plans 22cans have provided.)
- Linux version (LOLMarmaladewe'resosorry.)
