Game Overview

Today O~3 announced it is taking custody of ALIEN HOMINID, a short yellow alien with spherical black beady eyes, three teeth, and a little green gun. O~3 and game developer, The Behemoth, intend to feature Alien Hominid in its very own videogame for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo Game Cube. Alien Hominid, is the debut console title from O~3 Entertainment, and developer, The Behemoth. It is an evolution of classic 2D side-scrolling platform shooters, blending old school play mechanics with stunning hand drawn graphics.

The Good

Incredibly challenging, Great replay value, Charming visuals.

The Bad

Technically simple, Short single-player game.

The Bottom Line

Originally a wildly popular Flash game on the NewGrounds website (with art by SYNJ Industries, programming by NewGrounds founder Tom Fulp and music by LHM), the action-blaster with the manic yellow monster makes its way to the console realm. Still in blistering hand-drawn 2D, the television version features vastly improved graphics and animation, a new soundtrack, new vehicles to take command of, and even more frantic gameplay elements in this side-scrolling homage to greats like Contra and Metal Slug.
