Introduction

Imagine waking up in the middle of a chaotic alien invasion while your breakfast burrito gets cold. Better yet, what if that alien was a tiny, furious yellow hominid looking for his freaking spaceship? This is where "Alien Hominid Invasion" comes in, a delightful sequel from The Behemoth that promises to make you laugh, cry, and potentially throw your controller - mostly at that one annoying obstacle that you swear just appeared out of nowhere.

Gameplay

The game's side-scrolling action is reminiscent of the classic run-and-gun shooters you likely grew up with, but it throws in some roguelike elements that will have you dancing with excitement (or frustration, depending on the level). Picture this: you're racing through the levels, blasting through an insurmountable number of enemies while juggling various loot drops as if you're in a twisted version of Mario Kart. And don't even get me started on the overworld map that looks like it was designed during a coffee-fueled Friday night brainstorming session. Every time you think you've completed an objective, guess what? You get to do another. Just call it your new day job for a while! The frantic co-op mode allows up to four players to join forces, wreaking havoc together while awkwardly trying to save each other from the game's flight of fancy traps, making communication a mix of shouts and laughter.

Graphics

Visually, "Alien Hominid Invasion" strikes gold! It's like someone took a jelly bean and turned it into eye candy. The cartoonish art style is so vibrant that even your grandma who only approves of 2000s cartoons would give it a side-eye nod of approval. Every explosion and enemy defeat speaks volumes with their colorful animations, turning simplistic graphics into an art form. The character designs maintain their signature goofy charm; the alien hominids and their enemies are so quirky you'll find yourself drawn into their chaotic world. Honestly, who knew becoming an alien could be this cool?

Conclusion

In short, "Alien Hominid Invasion" serves up a delightful cocktail of nostalgia and fresh gameplay mechanics so well-mixed that even the most seasoned bartenders would be jealous. With its crazy co-op madness, ludicrously addictive gameplay, and enough loot to satisfy even the most hardcore of loot goblins, it's a stellar addition to your gaming library. Just try not to blame the game for any broken friendships when you kick your pals into spikes because you forgot you were supposed to be a team. So grab your controllers, prepare to scream at the screen, and get ready to laugh your way through intergalactic chaos! After all, nothing says love like alien warfare with friends, right? 8.5/10 stars-because, let's face it, no one's perfect. Except maybe this game. Just don't forget to fuel up your breakfast burrito for the next round!
