The town of Lawrston was once a peaceful place to live. Until the summoning tore it apart. Risen from the depths of the utmost evil the ancient celestial monster, Bob, has possessed the town. Using his new army, Bob, plans to turn all of humanity into his evil servants. All that stands between Bob and his plans is one man, cranky from a double shift and with no evening plans. That man is Ernie, the sales manager for Meat N' Things.

As you can probably tell by the games intro, this is another in the long line of zombie games on the market, so what makes this different... Well, lets take a lookie shall we?
Ernie Vs. Evil is, at it's core, a shooter defense game, in some ways similar to something like Plant's Vs. Zombies (seeing a theme here), but in many important ways, VERY different!

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... c'mon, this is where we really play mobile phone games, anyone who says they don't, reads encyclopedias and won't 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.

The game looks gorgeous, as you can see in the trailer and screenshots, and the number of enemy types is incredibly good. From cute little bats, to evil zombie cheer leaders that take far too many shots to kill (maybe the goodnight team had cheer leader issues in school, I hear thats a thing)
The levels are quick and can get very frantic, but you do feel like you are defending your base as they happen.

We had to borrow an iPhone to get this review done (tech issues and the Dragon was loathe to let me use hers), but we are still loving the game here at geek towers and would highly reccomend it!
A gnawingly good 8 out of 10! Would bite again!
Ernie Vs. Evil is available on iTunes and Google Play right now!
