If you don’t know what Alien Hominid is then, really, where have you been? The game started out as an original, downloadable single-level Flash game, which has now been downloaded over 13 million times and harks back, unashamedly, to the good old days of 2D gameplay. Zoo Digital brought the home console versions of Alien Hominid to the UK last year, and the game was a big hit at SPOnG Towers. Developer The Behemoth proffered a platform shooter that harked back to the good old days, in a Metal Slug/Contra Spirits stylee. The story is that the Alien Hominid crash lands on Earth - outside FBI HQ of all places - and has to fight off the baddies who want to take him to Area 51 for all kinds of unpleasant indignities. To avoid being probed for his alien secrets, the little fella has 13 levels of GBA-based madness and melee to find his spaceship and get outta there.

The lead star of Alien Hominid looks like his original counterpart on the Playstation II. In fact, it is the only reason why this game shouldn’t be deleted immediately from your phone memory. If you’re a big fan of the console version of Alien Hominid, you’ll definitely appreciate the graphics of Alien Hominid mobile, even though the gameplay will leave a sour taste in your mouth. The mobile version of Alien Hominid sports some of the cutesy art style from the console version. The game looks visually appealing in a Cartoon Network type of way.

Most people upon hearing the word Alien Hominid will immediately think of a flash game on Newgrounds. And this is where it all started, on an internet site made by a group of friends that wanted to create a fun free downloadable game for people to enjoy. And who would have known it would go onto much bigger things. After the success of Alien Hominid, Tom Fulp wanted to turn it into a console game, and so he did.

Alien Hominid originally started in 2002 as a short but fun Flash game by Tom Fulp and Dan "Synj" Paladin at the well known flash website, Newgrounds. This became the first part of level one, up to the miniboss, in the full commercial release. It was released on November 23 in 2004 to strong reviews for the PS2 and GameCube. A PAL version was released 7 months later, though not for the GameCube, instead giving them an Xbox version.
