Frantic run-and-gun from The Behemoth, hand-drawn with an unbridled cartoon style. Difficult like classic arcade games, fun 2-player co-op. Charming animated Flash graphics. A cult indie game that has stood the test of time.

Is Alien Hominid still worth playing in 2026?

A run and gun from The Behemoth, Alien Hominid plunges the player into the shoes of a small yellow alien gunning down government agents across horizontal scrolling levels of fearsome difficulty, in an explosion of hand drawn animation and offbeat humour. The inimitable cartoon style, the snappiness of the action and the absurd humour appeal to fans of retro run and gun and of singular artistic proposition. The merciless difficulty may frustrate the uninitiated. For a fan of demanding run and gun or someone curious about cartoon aesthetics, the title keeps a perfectly preserved style, snappiness and charm.
