I nearly forgot to post the end of the stage medal reward conditions so here they are. MEDAL CONDITION REWARDS: no barrier damage all barriers are intact no player damage pistol only high combo (50+)
So after the success of Update 2 we're going to keep going with a 3rd Update. We'd like to announce that we'll be adding Survival Mode to the game. Survival mode will be entirely score based as the player battles wave after wave of enemies. The difficulty increases over time and the player must rely on skill to build huge combos and get the highest score! We'll go live with this July 5th!
Survival Mode Update So far in the update, weve been able to fix a few issues and polish up some things. Weve added some visuals to the tutorials to make them a little bit easier to understand. There was also a problem with the game sometimes skipping stages and that problem has been fixed. Right now we are trying to fix bugs regarding with Game Center achievements and more importantly have been working on the new survival mode. A new mode where the main goal is to stay alive for as long as possible as the hordes of enemies become more challenging over time. At this point we are working on the spawning and trying to get that right pace and rhythm of difficulty. Everything is still on pace for July 5th!
Combining some classic game play with a classic graphics is a great idea. I like the game very entertaining. The levels are also good just like playing plant vs zombie but you have to move the guy frequently.

Hi this is Kamil bringing you news about the update for Ernie vs Evil. Things went well at A Videogame Con. We had a booth there and people were enjoying the game. I took this opportunity to take some more notes of any little polishes,tweaks, and bugs from all the people playing. Luckily we were able to spot some things that I'm going to fix for the upcoming update. Currently I polished up the buttons in the tutorial select menu. Before the art we used for the buttons were simple text and did not really look like buttons to many people playing. I've also replaced the art for the syringe that the nurse enemy throws at the player. I've increased the size and made the syringe more vibrant to make it easier for players to see while playing. Next up on the list I will be working on extending the area on which the player can tap to shoot. We don't have a release date yet for this next update but we are all ears if there are any suggestions you guys may have. Thanks and stay tuned! -Kamil
Another update on the next update Hello, this is Kamil again bringing you up to date on our next update. Last time I worked on some polishes with the text and various other visual tweaks. Right now I am trying to re-balance the gun meter so it is a bit more forgiving. Also while many people were playing Ernie at A Videogame Con, players often did not realize they were out of ammo or their gun meter was really low (causing their attacks to be significantly weaker). So as part of the following update and previously mentioned on the list above, I am currently working on making certain important indications more apparent such as having no ammo or low gun meter level. Here are screen shots of some of the things i have finished so far.
Update Release Date The next update will go live on October 10th! There are a ton of fixes and graphical updates in this one as we listed above. Check out some screenshots from the new version:
Ernie update is a few days away! Hey guys its Kamil here to let you know how things are going with the next update for Ernie vs Evil. We are coming up pretty close to the deadline and Ive pretty much finished most of the little cosmetic changes and tweaks in the game. There were several hud modifications ive made with regards to notifying players of important things. Players, amidst all the action, often forget to pay attention to things like their ammo. So now when you have no ammo on your currently equipped gun, text will now flash dead center to remind players that they have other guns. Another change is that now when your gun meter is low, there will be text on top of the meter flashing accompanied with sound to alert the player. Next, Ive made some visual and ai tweaks with some of the enemies. One for example is the Awoken grunt enemy type. This enemy used to shoot laser beams but it provided to be too buggy and troublesome so I have modified its attack to be something more simple. Also now the HUD will display the current level on the top right corner of the screen. These are some of the fixes i have done to the game in addition to many other things. The remaining important things are tweaking some of the rules and logic to improve load times and some gameplay balance issues and usability. Thanks everyone, hope you guys enjoy the next update! CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO!
The update should be live shortly! Happy Columbus Day! As always let us know feedback on it immediately. -Lawrence
