Alien Hominid is a side scrolling action shooter in the vein of SNK’s Metal Slug series, or Konami’s Contra games, but much faster.

This game looks pretty hardcore. I like it. Definitely going to keep an eye on it.

Ooh, i've heard about this. It was originally a flash game on Newgrounds.com, though I don't remember it. I LOVE the graphics.

"Damn" right this game is hardcore. If you ask me, it's harder than Ikaruga - I can't even get through the first level!

I think playing with the GC controller will help me somewhat upon its release. 

And..since it isn't linked, here's the link for the game on Newgrounds:

I think you are right on that Beanie... IMO The Gamecube controller is the best for platformers and metal slug style shooters. well.. it was GREAT for Ikaruga as well.

I am DEFINITELY very interested in this game... anyone know exact release dates?

Yeah, it got pushed back. The ship date is now 11/02/04 so most stores should receive their copies on November 3.

I just read an interview with the producers in NOM UK. Sounds pretty good. You can do stuff such as dig underground to avoid enemy attacks, then pull them underground to their doom, dodge bullets, eat people's head's off...sounds like a blast!
