Yeah, as BaB said, you don't donate unless you are satisfied with the "reward" that you get, as described in the right sidebar of the project's page. In this case, $15 gets you the completed game and so on...

And for example, if the project had not been funded, your credit card doesn't get charged and no one gets any money.

Also, Amazon is affiliated with Kickstarter and they take a certain percentage of the total fund. They'll do pretty well with this one.
