Alien Hominid Invasion

A re-imagination, Alien Hominid Invasion, is in development for Windows, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. Alien Hominid is a side-scrolling shooter in a similar vein to games such as Metal Slug, where one hit instantly kills and has a two-player simultaneous play. It is often referred to as the Alien Hominid "prototype" by The Behemoth. The game consisted of one level containing two bosses, who would later reappear in the retail version. He suggested that Paladin and Fulp make a console version of the game, even offering to produce the game. Both Paladin and Fulp agreed with his idea, forming The Behemoth. In the course of two years, Alien Hominid became a much larger project than its online prototype. Matt Harwood created the music for the game. Hominid appears during one of the levels in The Behemoth's 2nd game, Castle Crashers, using a lance weapon based on his ray gun. He is playable to anyone who has also downloaded Alien Hominid HD on the Xbox 360 version, while he is unlocked by completing said level on the PlayStation Network and Steam versions of the game. Hominid appears as a playable character in Team Meat's Super Meat Boy, another game that originated as a flash game on Newgrounds. Developer Tom Fulp has cited the PDA Games as being the inspiration for The Behemoth's third game, BattleBlock Theater, which features unlockable Hominid character heads for those who own Alien Hominid HD. On January 30, 2020, Behemoth announced their fifth game, Alien Hominid Invasion, which they describe as "an all-new re-imagination" of the original game featuring new gameplay and mechanics. The game is in development for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. In reviews for the game, it was critically acclaimed for its old-school style gameplay, tough level of difficulty, and quirky humor.
