Alien Hominid HD

Alien Hominid HD brings The Behemoth's award-winning 2D side-scroller back to Steam with hand-drawn graphics, fast-paced classic action and the same brutal sense of humor that made the original a cult hit. The premise hasn't changed — a yellow alien protagonist tries to retrieve his spaceship from a group of agents, blowing through every level of resistance government bodies can throw at him in the process.

The core moveset is what gives the game its distinctive personality. Jump, dodge attacks, grab agents, dig underground to set up surprise attacks, and use the trusted blaster to shoot at everything in your path. Grenades clear groups. The knife handles close-range combat. And, in the franchise's signature touch, chomping enemy heads off is always an option when style matters more than efficiency. Three classic difficulty options range from Easy (7 lives, two shields from pickups) through Normal (5 lives, one shield) to INSANE (3 lives, one-hit kills).

Beyond the main campaign, the HD release ships with all of the original mini-games for players who need a break from chomping. Over 500 levels of PDA Games, Super Soviet Missile Mastar, All You Can Eat, Neutron Ball, Pinata Fiesta and Challenge Mode are all included. Local 2-player co-op preserves the original couch experience. Steam achievements and weekly plus monthly leaderboards across all three difficulties keep the competitive layer running, and the boss patterns — the franchise's notorious entry barrier — remain exactly as merciless as longtime players remember.
