Alien Hominid Lands on GBA
Another platform for the zany 2D actioner.
Cynics would say that Zoo Digital's stylized 2D action game Alien Hominid should have gone straight to Game Boy Advance simply because of its dimensional shortcomings, but the game has been a success on both Xbox and PlayStation 2.
But now, with those out of the way, Zoo is preparing to bring the game to Nintendo's massively popular little square portable. The key parts of Alien Hominid, those being its singular graphical style and attention to guffaws, have been retained in the 13 levels that comprise the portable version.
To get an idea of what to expect, head over to the Alien Hominid official site. There you'll find information about the various versions and also a Flash-based taster you can play online.
Alien Hominid will be out for Game Boy Advance this November.
