Great Game
Great game I liked it, but I wonder what the dude is?
Reviews for "Alien Hominid"
Memories of Contra...
I have but a few serious issues with this game and I'm not sure as to whether or not the majority of them are related to the dinosaur-era speed of my computer here:
1) Whenever I attempt a head-ride / head-bite, my little homonid just leaps right back off the guy - often to his instant death. While it is good to be able to choose whether or not to bite, it might be control-friendly to make a "leapoff" possible only by holding up, or some-such.
2) Sometimes my homonid would just die for no apparent reason; walking over top of a dead/dying agent, leaping down from a taxi, or just jumping around would kill him. (?)
3) Agents would sometimes go into a death animation, then "save" themselves by crouching and shooting; kind of annoying, having to kill the same guy twice.
4) Each agent can only shoot one bullet at a time; disappearing bullets kind of remind me of watching "JFK"; all I'd need for a complete experience would be ol' Costner doing commentary.
5) The chapter boss is more annoying than challenging; if I wanted to get punched in the face every time that I attempted to complete a necessary objective, I'd go ask my boss for a raise or better work hours.
Aside from that junk, it was a good game - just too short... And perhaps a bit much for my lug-a-dub computer. 8/10
Great
It's a great game, the only reason I don't like it is because I suck big time at it!
An excellent game all should play.
If there was one flash game that deserved a console version, this is it. The graphics, gameplay, power-ups and different ways to defeat enemies, all complement eahc other so well and create a wonderful slice of gaming pie. When you duck under an agents bullet, shoot him down, jump over another agents bullet, land on his head, bite it off, then shott upwards to kill an idle agent, it really gives you the feeling that you, and you alone, are the greatest games player on the planet. Recommended.
Boss Guide (for those who need it):
1st Robot Boss: Stand on the ledge at the start, duck, and fire. Jump over him when he runs. When he fires his laser up top, jump down below, then vice versa.
2nd Helicopter Boss: Easy. Just run around, holding up to fire upwards. Always try and fire at the edges rather than the middle to avoid the missiles.
3rd Robot Boss: Jump on his laser, then jump up and shoot his face. His hand will hit you, but it doesn't kill you as it appears, because you'll jump back up. Repeat as the laser balls get fired quicker and the you have beaten the flash version of Alien Hominid!
Woohoo
This is the best game in NG. It should be on the 1st place in NG's to 50. I have 1 question though: How do you beat thhe helicopter?
