Update 1.1 for Alien Hominid HD is now live on Steam! We bring you audio and visual bug fixes, music restoration, and the new TURBO FIRE! 🔫

We had a blast exhibiting at WASD Live this year! Beaming down thousands of aliens was easy, teaching them how to queue was not, so we brought in Large Lad. See you next time, and thank you for stopping by!

International shipping will return at a future date TBD.

No matter what anyone else believes, YOU are the hero in your own story. Probably. 👽

During our last stream, we stumbled upon a memorial for the laughing agent who perished at the hands of our alien Vtubers… Was the murder in cold blood done rightfully so, or have our heroes made a grave moral error? Find out next time on ALIEN HOMINID INVASION!

The aliens are learning a lot about planet Earth during the invasion, like how to identify hazards placed by the enemy and use ladders!

Must.. defeat.. Megabot... to sing.. BAPI BAPI BAA 😎 The recap video of our recent AHI dev stream is now live on YouTube! Check it out, sing BAPI BAPI BAAA, and smile because silly aliens are cool. 👽 https://youtu.be/i9Bo9_RutDo

Introducing... our new Alien Hominid Invasion commercial! (featuring some amazing Raft gameplay 🪝👽)

Introducing the BIG BAD BOUNDER, a hazard you will encounter during the Invasion! He can knock you into other enemies and hazards, and you'll have to shoot at him to push him away. Unless... you want to make this experience more BattleBlock-esque by pushing him into your alien pals?
