Alien Hominid!

[TomFulp]

Alien Hominid has finally launched! Go play it now!

Hopefully the bugs are small, but you can report them by responding to this thread. I know of some small ones that have given me trouble. Also, the game is a bit on the hard side - I am pretty damn good and I still die a few times trying to get through. The enemies are some crazy bastards!

Respond with your thoughts, and check out the post below about Howard Stern!

I just played the new game. Love it. Reminds me of the animated Men In Black show. Except the bad guys r kickin ass like they should be. Liked it alot.

Maybe for a new version or update, u should have different levels of difficulty, cause its a little hard. Other than that, loved it.

I'm sorry to say, but that game just isn't metal slug to me. Don't get me wrong, it is an excellent game. I am just used to throwing grenades and shooting at anything that moves. In that game all you have to do is crouch the whole time or just stay above your enemies.

But good job none-the-less. I wish Synj would post in here so I could credit him on his awesome graphics. The final boss(I hope.. not sure... the giant FBI thing with the huge hand... I died the second his giant fist slammed on me) looked fantastic, and was the only real part of the game that reminded me of MS.

Good job both of you, and PLEASE add in grenades! That would make this game so much better. Just grenades and more aerial units.

[JeremyFox-Hounder]

The Game is cool, very much like Metal Slug. Hard as hell and the controlls aren't perfect but its good none the less.

Howard Stern is a jackass.

People are telling me this, but Wade and I aren't seeing it on our computers! What computer do you use? It has to be something to do with Troma's pop-up ad code. Very weird.

I've got a Sony Viao, 1.6 Ghz, 512 Meg DDR RAM with Windows XP home edition. I even rebotted just to see if it was me but its still there. I can't click and drag to highlight anything but if I hit select all I can see a big box in the upper right. I can right click and get the option to "save picture as" but when I do I get a 0k pic called "untitled1". I also dont see it mentioned in the source code for any of the pages.

Beats the hell out of me........try accessing your site from a remote spot, something not directly connected to your own personal network and you might be able to see what Im talking about.

Wish I could give ya more info than that, good luck.

[JeremyFox-Hounder]

Hey Tom,

you must be aware of the fact that the new game looks some like Lilo + Stitch for GBA.

Of course its much better and features decapitations, but beware of the grubby lawyers.

You already Know that though, don't ya?

So I've been hearing... Keep in mind this game has been in development for over six months now - long before any peep about the Lilo & Stitch movie. Just an annoying coincidence, unless they saw one of our early play-test copies and rushed their game to market in six months. :)

-Tom

[RiftMaster]

ok, that was AMAZING! heh couldn't beat it though! sheesh and I thought I was a hardcore gamer :(

lol well Im back to go try and conquer it :)

hooray for Synj and Tom and the Flashy Goodness that is Alien Hominid!

ok... I sound like an asskisser, but dammit I love that game!

I don't see any resemblence... then again I never saw the movie so I wouldn't know.

Do u have a firewall or ad blocker? I don't get any ads or popups because of my ad blocker which I think just covers up areas resulting in blank areas like you described. Thats my opinion

[k4o]

I just played the game and it's great, make more levels for it and you should be able to pick character, like have two different people you can be. Make a difficulty setting aswell if you can.

P.S please can you tell me how to use the HTML in this posting message place!

[Tropicana]

Yo tom ,
hey i gota an idea for like a minyt game take all the programing and sprites and change it to pico like a miny game where you just run around and kill people like nini or tyrone or some bad guy from the pico series like that aliean dued or the uber kids! change the sprites just like you did with crazy vermount that one vampire game character well you dont have to but that would been extreamly tight well is that a good idea for like a miny game

This is an unrelated topic, but why hasn't the portal refreshed for the week yet?

It's already Thursday.

[JeremyFox-Hounder]

Anyhow, it’s a great game tom, well made and frustrating. But in a good way.
It's not cheap, just challenging.

It holds up the old Neo-Geo tradition of NewGrounds very well, I’m sure
The late SNK folks (just the company, I'm sure most of the people are still alive) would be proud.

[EarthCrisis]

Howard is awsome and stuff but ya know i will be a level 5 what is it saturday i have 80 points and rock once a level 5 i bet ill be light.

I think one bug is when I try to use the "special jump" attack on grenade throwing enemies I can't jump anymore. I just tried to re-create the bug and couldn't so it was probably a one-time glitch.

I like how those FBI guys get shot in the crotch hehe.

I also get that blank, black area on Newground pages, however I also don't seem to get anymore pop-ups and I can scroll those beastiality banners on the bottom out of view. So that blank area is pretty good for me, although it might affect your ad payments or something.

The rings sound cool so Ive bookmarked the site. Do you use em? However I am PISSED by the following things you said. Here it is "Israel dieing, China whooping the U.S.'s ass in WW3" 1) Im Jewish and have family in Isreal 2. If the US goes down where all doomed. These are hardly incredible things THERE TRAGIC! Id rather be DEAD then have to deal with these things. Still...if they work... >:)
