You'll be hard pressed to find a better looking game than Alien Hominid. The characters have been carefully drawn to provide a lot of emotive actions on the screen. With each of the different weapons, the enemies who are hit will suffer a different dying animation (often multiple animations exist for each gun). These different animations are a big part of the game's draw. Flaming an enemy with the flame-thrower will cause them to turn into ash and crumble much like a Wiley Coyote cartoon, or run across the screen on fire. The ice gun may cause enemies to become frozen solid and after a short time they shatter in many shards of ice. Throughout the game the graphics show the same inventiveness as the many different animated deaths.

Alien Hominid is one of those titles that makes you excited to be a fan of old school gaming. In an era where developers are usually concerned with the amount of polygons their game is pushing, or how open ended something can be, it’s refreshing to experience the rare flavor of straight forward, balls out, 2D chaos. While Alien Hominid isn’t as revolutionary or complex as something like Viewtiful Joe, its simplicity offers a different and more pure form of joy.

Alien Hominid is a wildly fun, challenging and addicting game that will have you coming back for more. Although the game does simulate blood during battle, the game does provide an option where you can choose to display blood or play without it, which is great for the younger players.

Once you understand fully the abilities of Alien Hominid (e.g. burrowing underground for short periods, riding the shoulders of FBI agents then biting their heads off, jacking vehicles, the advantages of two-player, etc.) the action becomes more varied but it’s still high-intensity twitch gameplay (with controls that allow you to keep up).
