Ruined by ill conceived in all purchases

Update #2

I dont have a problem with games that make you pay a little for extra levels.... Those levels cost money to develop, as long as you can fully play any level without ongoing ransom payments.

Or perhaps purely optional purchases like costumes, that do not affect game play.

Right from the second race in the first level this game pretty much requires spending real money on performance upgrades. Playing this game is not about having fun, developing skill, or earning rewards, it is all about how much real cash you are willing to continue to spend just to make basic game play playable.

Shame on you Polarbit. Just another company got greedy by putting a desired windfall from forced in app purchases ahead of the customer experience. This is no way to win customers.

Update #1

Polarbit replied to my support ticket about the game crashing. Due to a game bug, you have to go into iOS settings and log out of game centre before launching the game. They are working on a fix.

First few minutes of playing the game looks like it could be a lot of fun. Will reserve final judgement after playing for a while to ensure freemium model does note force the continued spending of money to make the game playable.

sent the following report to Polarbit.... will update my rating if they fix the issue.
