Learn About the Game Alien Hominid

Alien Hominid lets players guide a small green alien through a suburban war zone. The game drops the creature onto an Earth lawn under heavy fire. Players pick up weapons off fallen agents. They blast foes with rapid fire and jump on heads for extra points. Sometimes the alien bites a skull for a scoring bonus.

This shooter draws from vintage arcade action. It challenges players with fast pace and relentless waves of agents. The visuals match old school cartoons. Each hand drawn scene uses bold lines and bright shades. Secret areas hide power ups and ammo packs.

Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin released Alien Hominid in 2002 on their website. Fans praised its tough challenge and unique art. The title found its way to home consoles with a high resolution update. It won awards at the Independent Games Festival. New versions deliver extra maps, fresh weapons and epic boss battles for longtime players.
