alien hominid

well, I think I'll just join the club here with doug and eric and write a blog about alien hominid. hehehe.

well, alien hominid is this game, see, well, probably not, I've hardly even played the real game, because we went and played a minigame that was kind of an extra (for about four hours straight...) The minigame is four player, and it's kind of a cross between N and loderunner, and if you don't know what either of those are, go tell someone who cares. well, this game was fun for a lot of reasons, it was a fun idea, you can work together or kill each other (hehe), and it's darn addicting.

The basic idea of this game is that you have to jump on all the bad guys, and then make your way to the exit without dying. This concept is simple, but the levels can get pretty complicated with things like breaking blocks, traps, boats and boulders you can move around. Add to this the strange and impulsive drive to spontaneously betray your teammates (ask danny and doug about a certain level with boats and boulders on top of breaking blocks, hehehe), and one heck of a catchy background song, and you've got yourself a pretty fun game.

well basically, I think I'm just a sucker for stick-figure games and a catchy theme song, but this minigame is really fun, and if the minigame is this fun, maybe we should go and try playing the actual game sometime!
