Alien Hominid has landed

Alien Hominid might have escaped your radar, but this unique, 2D side/top-down scroller may be of interest to those of you who have a hankering for this dying breed. Alien Hominid first started out as a shareware game for browsers back in 2002, but don't think you're being fooled into paying for what was once free, this version has been updated in every possible aspect for only $30. Expect the insanity (and frustration) of a Metal Slug title, that is, ducking, dodging,
jumping, blasting your way through a hand-animated screen of exploding chaos—and it's 2-payer co-op! This is old school at its finest. True, this holiday season is jam-packed with gaming goodness, and while Alien Hominid isn't the most groundbreaking or techinically sound title out there, it offers the best a shooter-of-yesteryear can offer—and for the price-of-yesteryear! Cop it.

Hint: If you manage to complete the 15-level campaign, there's 200 levels of single-screen platforming waiting for you; and if that's still not enough, there's an editing tool to create your own minigames.
