As game development budgets get higher and higher the games industry looks more like Hollywood every day, with mega-budget blockbusters and lots of me-too titles following in their wake. Alien Hominid bucks the trend: it’s a quirky platform shooter with impeccable indie credentials.

Alien Hominid started life as a Flash game on Newgrounds, and it proved so popular that the developers rewrote and expanded it for games consoles. It’s an absolute hoot and you should buy it now :-)
