The design ethos is AWESOME, but the game itself falls short, and gameplay is the biggest part of a game.</p> I’ve got to agree – I WANT to like it, but the physics modeling is … lacking.

It IS NOT worth $2 because it would BARELY be worth 50 cents. Try playing "Skee-Ball" by Graveck and you'll know exactly what I mean. Ramp Champ has SERIOUS physics flaws and the graphics are just barely par compared to Graveck's simpler idea (which in itself still is far from perfect). The balls are actually 3 dimensional and you have much more leeway to guide your shot in terms of speed, direction and curvature. It just doesn't feel nearly as cheap and half-assed as ramp champ. No thanks.</p> <p>@Rene Ritchie, some apps I am definitely surprised that they cost so little, so I see your point. GeoDefense swarm, field runners, and Dungeon Hunter are some games to name a few, but Ramp Champ is not one of them. It's a waste of 200 Lincolns.</p> BBYM is correct.

Then users will complain that the app store is flooded with nothing but $0.99 CrApps, and have only themselves to blame.

Maybe a few premium apps will return at that point to fill the gaping hole, not sure what it means for the iPhone as a flagship platform however… :(
