Alien Hominid

Alien [Hominid] Week

by

In celebration of the upcoming film Prometheus, Xbox LIVE is showcasing alien themed games all week, including our very own Alien Hominid HD.

So we’re joining in on the festivities with fun alien-related activities all week. First, follow us as we go back in time―like Will Smith in MIB3―and relive our favorite moments from the development of Alien Hominid to post release events.

In addition to the memories, The Behemoth will be doing contests to bring you several opportunities to score tickets to Prometheus, which is set to release on June 8th in the U.S., win some merchandise by The Behemoth and even enter to get a box set of the Alien Anthology!

In the next few days leading up to the big U.S. premiere of Prometheus, we’ll be bringing some surprises that even Mother can’t predict.

Coming soon to iOS – Alien Hominid: PDA Games!

by

Dear Citizens of BehemothTown,

FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT ALIEN HOMINID’S PDA GAMES. YEAH, remember that mini-game you used to play on your Game Cube, PS2, or even on XBLA in HIGH DEFINITION?

It’s back. But not in the way that you would think.

WE’VE BROUGHT IT TO THE iOS PLATFORM. EXCITING, YEAH?

New Features (We might as well say the whole thing is new):

  • Art redone by Dan and Eric!
  • Everything is rewritten for iOS and REMASTERED!
  • 23 NEW ACHIEVEMENTS!
  • 60 frames per second, wooooo!
  • Pause the game, after the menu disappears you will get to see a little run-through of your last 20 levels played (regardless of which worlds you’re in)
  • SUPER HI-DEFINITION!!

How to get it:

Download the free Alien Hominid: PDA Games APP from the Apple Store. It’ll be a Trial World Pack of 15 levels, and if you’d like to continue, you can choose the option to “Purchase Full Game” to unlock over 500 levels of fun for only 99 cents!

But don’t forget, you can still experience the PDA games excitement without having to go out and buy an iPad or iPhone to play it! Just download Alien Hominid HD for XBLA. Here, earning an achievement will unlock the Alien as a playable character in Castle Crashers!

What’s special about PDA games is that you get a glimpse of what inspired BattleBlock Theater. But the game play for #BBT is going to be complex, refreshing and addicting! 🙂

In the Apple Store starting DECEMBER 8TH, 2011!

Keep on playin’ on,

Your favorite Pink Knight <3 Christine

I’m on a BOAT! Um, WE’RE on a boat?

by

Prisoner #10308 likes the smell of the sea breeze but not when it ruins a good hair day. See his fancy sailor hat? It combines fashion and function.

He’s always experiencing a love-hate relationship with the sea. Maybe not the sea, but the situations he finds himself in when he’s out sailing. You’ll quickly find that the boats in the game will either be your best friend or your path to extinction.

If you’re playing the game to win by treating your fellow player like an equal, you’ll get farther. Think of it as a trust exercise–the more trust you have in each other will help you finish levels, and ultimately the campaign.

And if you prefer griefing, you can get frustrated with your fellow player or play along and laugh it off. That’ll bond you two in a different way. Maybe you’ll discover new ways of accomplishing things together?

 

How to drive a boat in BattleBlock Theater:

1. Both players cooperate and drive the boat in one direction. This will speed up the course in which you’re traveling.

2. If you both choose separate directions, the boat will remain dead in the water, along with your chances of completion.

Sailing...together is always fun!

 

Oh, before I forget mate, here’s a throwback to the Alien Hominid Mini-Game. We’ve implemented the boat and renovated it for your satisfaction in BattleBlock Theater.

 

Do you really want to leave your friend behind? What if you were in his shoes?

Think about it…I mean *really* think about it. Together, you can do so much! Check out the Sailorman-looking guy, Prisoner #10308‘s spotlight of the week!

 

‘Til next post,

Christine
