Thirty-six seconds with Uncle and real gameplay. Watch for a gap in the bullets, then see what happens when the bomb goes off.

I'm Uncle. Today we're trying Megablast on a phone. Let's see how long the paint job lasts.

The ship fires on its own. Put a finger on the playfield and drag. Watch for gaps in the bullets and move before they close.

If the gap closes, tap Bomb. It clears the screen. You've only got a few.

Your turn. Let's see if you can reach the Leviathan.
