Maximum Android did some great initial play footage for the game, check it out: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Edit: It's also a good example of what happens when you don't let the gun charge. Spamming shots only makes them weaker especially with the shotgun.
Let's share a couple gifs. This first one is a preview of the last area of the game. It gets really crazy on screen so you'll have to manage your gun meter and take full advantage of the secondary weapons to be able to clear it. This next one is the special. A giant laser cannon that annihilates everything in it's path. Fill up the special bar by killing enemies and maintaining a combo and then you'll be good to go.
We're currently working on an update for Ernie on both platforms. We'll be submitting to the stores on May 4th.

Great review by Sanitarium FM: "Goodnight Games (ello chaps, do you ever sleep?) have gone with simplisity in Ernie Vs Evil, that makes it the perfect game for a quick blast, OR a prolonged bathroom mobile phone game session cmon, this is where we really play mobile phone games, anyone who says they dont, reads encyclopedias and wont be reading this review anyway. What stands out straight away is the control system, or as I found, the lack of one, this game is as simple as clicking on the screen to shoot and at the level you want to shoot at. All the while, various enemies come at you from three levels and in waves of difficulty. One of the interesting touchs though is the weapon upgrade system, there are more upgrades than i thought there would be and you can get some really cool things going on during the frantic gameplay, plus being able to selct different load outs changes up how the game plays a little, not much, but as you can see in the pic below, it can get crazy." Check it out.
