Summary

(Currently available in the UK/EU only) Alien Hominid on GBA retains all the super-fast action and irreverent humour of the larger console versions but in a format that you’ll really have trouble putting down. Prepare to freak-out all over again with this lovingly crafted slice of pure gaming joy. 13 levels of eye-popping insanity including the famous power-ups and huge bosses. Faithful conversion of artist Dan Paladin’s manic comic style to the GBA screen. [Zoo Digital]

Modojo

It's gameplay like this that makes Alien Hominid so oustanding. Like the previous versions, its gameplay is challenging, kinetic, and old-school, all at the same time, and it's a complete blast to play.

AceGamez

Alien Hominid deserves to be the cult hit that it's become and should stand proudly next to "Katamari Damacy" as a symbol of simplicity in computer games. It's a bit like picking up a game marked as a retro classic that you've never played before, only with much better graphics.

Mike H. gave it a6:
I first played the game on Newgrounds. I decided to buy the game seeing that it was only 5 pounds of amazon. On the Gameboy the graphics were not great but it was enjoyable for a while. I played it though in hard mode and complated it. It was an alright game.
