Alien Hominid

"This game is such an excellent fit for the Xbox Live Arcade that you'll want to try out the demo at the very least, even if shooters aren't your cup of tea. The game oozes style and humor out of every wound the alien leaves in his wake of destruction. It's hardcore on the level that may discourage some, but it has the most important quality a game can have as well: It's fun."

"Alien Hominid HD is a charming and challenging arcade-style shooter that everyone should check out."

"Solid but basic gameplay is all well and good, but Alien Hominid wouldn’t be where it’s at today without some amazing artistry. It is really Dan Paladin’s creativity and skill as an artist that makes you want to continue on in Alien Hominid, not necessarily the gameplay. As the mind of Schafer pushed us further and further into Psychonauts, Paladin’s artful usage of basic geometry, colors, and 2D depth-of-field is leagues above others who have tried the same thing. Toss in a heaping helping of comedy that comes across loud, clear, and not overly cutesy - even without the usage of dialogue - and it’s easy to see why Alien Hominid is our new favorite Xbox Live Arcade Title."
