    If this is truly the case, it will represent a major shift for Kiloo, and not a good one.:(

    The IAP in both Frisbee and Bullet Time HD is about as close to perfect as I've seen, or probably will see. With BT HD in particular, the top 25 players in the world shouldn't have needed to spend a dime to get there, aside from wanting to support the devs.:)

    Kiloo's IAP MO seems to be: no IAPs needed for progression, no IAPs necessary to compete on the leaderboards, no expendable IAPs, no IAP items that cannot be earned simply by playing the game, etc. In other words, about as close to perfect as you can get, short of not using them.;)

    Hopefully they remain true to form...

    Really wanted to play this but the game is constantly crashing on my iPod touch 4g. Seems like when game center starts up it lags and crashes the game

    Oh, fun!

    I'm not usually into endless runners, but I was hooked on Temple Run for a while. Subway Surfers is obviously inspired by it, but I really like some of the changes they've made (swipe controls instead of tilt, especially). I also like the way there's multiple routes depending how risky you're feeling and daily challenges, too.

    Sad to say, there's consumable IAP. I'm less bothered by it if the core game is free, but it does make the leaderboards useless.

    Cheers.

    The IAPs don't make the game less fun, but they do ruin the leaderboards.

    This is way better than the other 3D endless runners out there. Fun gameplay,fresh visuals and perfect swipe controls. If you are good,the IAPs won't bother the core game at all, but sadly ruin the leaderboards as mentioned.

    If they could add a pure Leaderboard/new mode with no powerups, this game would be perfect.

    Subway Surfers is really fun. I spent the whole morning playing this game.

    I can see that there are a lot of improvements to the game. Compared to the beta, there are a lot of little additions to various parts of the game to make it smoother, more interesting, and easier to play.

    But the leaderboard caught me by surprise. It's just the first day of release but the scores are so high that I couldn't help wonder how these people did it. I am not sure about the relationship between IAP and leaderboard. My guess is people are skipping the missions to boost the score multiplier.

    I spent like 7 hours non-stop playing the game to get the current score. Is there a limit to that multiplier?

    Hi guys!

    Thanks for all your feedback, super excited to see Subway Surfers out there.

    If you have any impressions, feedback or suggestions feel free to post it right here and I'll get back to you.

    Extremely impressed by some of the high scores already, we'll make sure to keep a close eye on the leaderboards to make sure that they're competitive.

    Hi, Kiloo_Jeppe. Nice to see the dev here!

    Is Shop from the main screen and Boosts from the game over screen supposed to go to the same place? They appear to be identical, but I've noticed if I purchase Upgrades in Boosts (for example, to make the magnet last longer), they aren't upgraded in the same section of Shop and one has to start from scratch again.

    Also, it's not super-clear to me how you raise your multiplier. Is it by completing missions?

    Otherwise, very much enjoying the game!

    Cheers.

    Hi!

    Yeah, they refer to the same place, so it's supposed to upgrade both places of course. I've just tried it here, and I couldn't recreate the bug you refer to. Might be that the visual representation is not updating correctly, you should never be able to purchase the same upgrade tier twice. Try closing the menu, or the app to see if it doesn't update properly.

    You are absolutely correct. Completing sets of missions increases your multiplier.

    Really glad you like the game, thanks!

    So what is the maximum multiplier?

    P.S. You can change the link on your signature now, Jeppe. ;)

    Is there any chance to get a button to the Game Center leaderboard on the main menu? Its annoying to open the gc app seperately.
    I'm enjoying this game a lot, thank you :) looking forward to some gc achievements in the first Content Update :)

    That didn't fix it, but closing the app entirely from the task bar and re-opening it did. Thanks!

    Why no comment on this kiloo?
    I bet it has something to do with GC because the freeze & crash happens right after the GC popup

    Found a solution together with kiloo for all players who are having freezes & crashes!
    Turn on airplane mode and it works!
