Burn the City is today’s Amazon Free App of the Day. In it, you take on the role of a giant, Godzilla-like monster and attempt to completely destroy cities. Note that while this app only has an average review rating of 3.5/5 stars, the low-rated reviews are from users who disagreed with certain game mechanics (e.g., thought certain things should be easier) or didn’t understand the game’s permission settings. If you’re a fan of Angry Birds, this one is still probably worth a try.
From Amazon:
Angry doesn’t even begin to describe this guy.
