Loadout
Before each battle Ernie will be prompted with the loadout screen. Here he can change weapons and items before each fight. The levels can be beaten with any combination of things but each combination will change the way you play.
This is a screenshot of it still being in progress. We've got a little more art to add.
The player has two weapon slots and one item slot. This doesn't include the pistol which will always be there and always have infinite ammo.
You'll also see the store button and that will be explained in the next post. Let's just say there's a lot of things to unlock to improve your loadout.
