    In motion, Alien Hominid is like nothing else - there's always so much going on and the smooth characters and animations most modern 2D titles to shame.

    In a business full of cheap knock-offs and umpteenth sequels, where a recognizable title or endorsement can make games instant best-sellers, Alien Hominid is a diamond in the rough. Highly recommended.

    Is there room in your growing library of games for a little game with a lot of big ideas and action so addictive that you'll long for the days when 2D shooters felt this good?

    defines the word sleeper hit. true classic and a rare one. the longer you take to track it down, the more expensive it will be. in my opinion better than metal slug series... just see for yourself.… Expand

    Alien hominid is one of those unique fresh experiences you can only get from games such as katamari damacy or cubivore. alien hominid is quick, fun, and REALLY hard. nostalgia gamers will appreciate the older more fashioned 2d approach and newer games will be frustrated with its extreme difficulty. but overall, however old you are you will see the quirkiness and fun and unique graphic style that alien hominid delivers.… Expand
