Alien Hominid is a run and gun title that originally started life as a Flash game on then popular website Newgrounds in 2002. Anyone old enough to fondly remember the early 2000’s is likely to recall some iteration of this title, whether it was the aforementioned browser version, the later PS2 and Gamecube ports, the GBA reimagining, or most-likely, the popular re-release a few years later for Xbox Live Arcade in 2007.

Now, with the recent announcement from Microsoft that the original Xbox 360 store-front will be shutting down, this HD Re-Release has come just in time to keep this classic title available for players across the globe on modern consoles.

Alien Hominid HD, the award-winning 2D side-scroller from The Behemoth, is coming to Nintendo Switch! With hand-drawn graphics, excitingly fast gameplay, and the humor that started it all, loading up this title is like traveling decades back in time, with improved visuals and the same hardcore gaming experience.

Navigate your surroundings by jumping, dodging attacks, grabbing agents, and digging underground! Use your trusted blaster to shoot at anything in your path and hurl grenades towards your enemies for epic explosions! Catch agents off guard with your knife in close-up combat, or chomp their heads off if that’s more your style.

Whether you’re playing solo or 2-player local co-op, Alien Hominid HD is back with the three classic difficulty options:

• Easy - 7 lives and continues, with two shields from weapon pickups
• Normal - 5 lives and continues, with one shield from weapon pickups
• INSANE - 3 lives and continues, one hit kills

Tired of chomping heads? All of the original mini games are here for any aliens wanting a quick break, including:

• 201 levels of PDA Games
• Super Soviet Missile Mastar
• All You Can Eat
• Neutron Ball
• Pinata Fiesta
• Challenge Mode
