We've highlighted Destructopus! before in a Weekend Mobile roundup, because it simply looked awesome and it's called Destructopus!
The game is now available on the iPhone App Store for $0.99, which is cheap enough to give it a try for yourself. A few things have been updated in the process, like additional levels, rebalancing, optimized performance for older devices, and more destruction.
Some of the unlockable abilities are in-app purchases but as the game itself is cheap, that simply means it's up to you whether you want to bother with them. Regardless, you'll still have a laser eye to shoot things with. Check it out if you want some side-scrolling Rampage-ing on your iThing.

Off topic but I read the header and got excited thinking there was an update to the destructoid app on the apple store. Seriously guys, when is that thing going to be updated?

Mars. Mars is better. There's no pollution on Mars.
I got the app, but it's buggy as hell so I deleted it.
Talk about a weird coincidence!
