Alien Hominid

Alien Hominid is a side-scrolling shooter in a similar vein to games like Metal Slug, where one hit instantly kills. Players play as the titular hominid who has to fend off waves of secret agents. His main arsenal is a blaster, whilst players can also melee close-up enemies and use a limited amount of grenades. Advanced moves include rolling under shots, jumping on and biting off enemies heads, temporarily scaring other enemies, and digging underground and dragging enemies down with them. Players can collect a variety of power-ups which simultaneously give players extra grenades, a shield and unique ammo. Players can also drive vechiles, ride on top of a monster and pilot a UFO. Completing certain tasks will unlock hats the players can dress their Hominid in.
