We want what you want. We grew up loving games like Contra, Gunstar Heroes, and Metal Slug. We like our explosions big, and our bosses bigger. We think it's cool to drive bulldozers through buildings and ramp snowmobiles onto unsuspecting Soviet soldiers, so we work late hours to give you all that!
They also describe one of their video effects as being "like in Samurai Showdown".
I know I've posted about this game before, but I think that Alien Hominid is the biggest step in the right direction for the game industry that I've seen a game take in quite some time. With Katamari Damacy having so much cult-success, hopefully this game will succeed as well. Read more about it at their site, it looks great!

Are there any reviews for this yet??
It kinda looks like it has a Viewtiful Joe feel to it......which isn't really a bad thing.

Not sure I would pay 29.99 for it. $20 would be the sweet spot.

I love the design of it... it looks like a lot of fun.
I might get it in the TRU B2GO sale, since Animal Crossing is $20 now. I want Wario Ware and Mario Advance 4, both $30 games... and I want to maximize my savings. :)

Me too. I really want to get this game, but I don't think I would pay $30 for it. Maybe $20 but not $30.

Yeah, I never actually beat the one on newgrounds, but I suppose this is a better idea than charging $20 to down load a slightly upgraded one form thier siite like a lot of other groups do.

I've been jonesing for some old school 2-D action and this game looks fun.
I think its pretty cool these guys started as just independent gamers who wanted to make an awesome game. I'll definitely support them.

I thought you couldn't mix PS2 and GC/GBA

So they say. I'd get the GC version of Alien Hominid. I would've anyway, since I only have a GC and a PS2.

GCN version is supposed to be superior for a change. And if an Xdude version is ever released, it will be better than PS2, as well.

Yeah, when I first saw it this did remind me of Viewtiful Joe. Couldn't find any reviews yet but it definetly looks like a fun game.

Theres an interview with the makers of Alien Hominid at N-Philes.com (http://www.n-philes.com). I work for that site so excuse the blatant whooring out, but yeah - take a read if your interested in the title.
