Amazon Free App of the Day take 2 - Tuesday 4/5/11

written by: Nick Kosmides

In a generous attempt to fill all the space on your phone's internal memory (2.1 or older) or your SD card storage (2.2 or above), Amazon switches up the showcased free app of the day from Airport Mania to Backbreaker.  They are both free today, but the iOS born app Backbreaker is already #1 on the top 100 free apps list.

Featuring a beautifully rendered stadium fully populated by spectators, snappy menus and tackle-breaking combos.  Before playing the game you'll be greeted with a plethora of menus.  Create your own personal character by given him a name, changing the color of his skin, and designating a jersey number.

The object of the game is to run down the unmarked field and avoid being tackled by the defensemen lying in wait at varying positions. Make it to the endzone to reach the next 'wave'. Keep breaking tackles and aim for the yellow portion of the endzone for more points and a high score.

The game also features the ability to 'challenge a friend' which simply means sending them an email pre-populated with a message about your recent high score. Play Challenge or Endurance modes in three difficulties and post your high scores online for all to see.
