looks like if Metal Slug was a flash game. I'll have to wait and see on this one.

Looks pretty cool. $20 would be a nice price.

Pretty cool. Especially for the Flash game. Definately had Metal Slug vibe and frantic action.

Just to clarify, the full game isn't going to be a flash game. But you folks knew that, right?

Did they release a demo of this a long time ago on PC, because I want to say I already played this briefly?

Looks boss. I didn't see any mention of a publisher, so is this for-sure approved for consoles?

Mech, You can play flash version of this on Newgrounds site. I guess it got more popular and they got an offer to make console version?

Hard to say for sure at this point. They've got the game running on all 3 consoles currently. Let's hope so, 'cause it looks pretty cool.

That's pretty cool, I'd support this. The original flash game was really cool when it was released, the art style is nice.

Okay, cool. But I doubt it supports gamepad so no go for me again. Maybe if it hits console at a budget price.

It does if you use JoytoKey, and it works great with it.

I love the art style, and it looks like a fun game. Now, to play the flash game.

Edit - Very fun flash game, the visual style looks great, nice animation, and there's a lot of action.

The percentage of the enemy’s animations have a vast number of deaths - since that’s what they get to do the most.

Tom: The web version of Alien Hominid had three weapon upgrades. This new version has more than twice that, as well as a charge shot and various other machine-based ways to dispose of your opponents. We even added grenades!
