Contacting all carbon based life forms! The time draws near for the dawning of a new age, an age full of explosions, mayhem and of course, Aliens! We are eggstatic to announce that the Alien Hominid Invasion Beta is going live in THIS FRIDAY from November 12th-November 14th!

As part of the mayhem, we are going to be hosting a challenge which lasts until November 14th, and invading streams on beta launch day, Friday November 12th.

The winners of the competition will win a free copy of Alien Hominid Invasion and a mysterious galactic gift box! Our inner sources inform us gift box likely contains merch (and maybe even a trophy), but extended exposure carries the risk of contracting space parasites, which are known to cause mutation and/or alien transformation.

AHI Beta Challenge Rules

All you have to do to win is try your darndest not to end up like this little guy. Well, technically that’s not allll you have to do…here are the rules!

The challenge is split into four separate categories. Category one and two are high scores, so whoever gets the highest score wins! Category three and four are timed categories so who ever has the longest or fastest time respectively wins!  Categories 1-3 can be done on any level, other than the first level on a new profile or a bonus level (for timed challenge). To qualify, the level must be completed from start to finish on normal or insane. 

The Categories:

• Highest Single Player Score
• Highest Co-op Score
• Longest Single Player Survival (minimum D in damage)
• Fastest HQ Clear (only boss level)

And the most crucial rule: HAVE FUN!

If any cheating or hacking is found in the VOD, the submission (and any other submissions from that person) will be disqualified. If competing in multiple categories, send a separate email for each one, following the guidelines above. 

Only one submission allowed per category per person, and any one person can not win more than one category. All submissions must be made before the end of the day on November 14th. Winners will be announced by Wednesday, November 17th.

It’s time for another Alien Hominid Invasion development update, flying full force straight at you. No mercy. Better dodge quick! 

Anyway… watch on, read on, beam on (up) for all that good stuff. 

We’ve been fixing things up, polishing away, and of course adding in new odds and en..emies that you’ll face on your terrestrial extraterrestrial journey. Check ‘em out:

• We’ve added in stationary turret hazards, similar to the ones you once knew and hated when fighting the KGB way back in Alien Hominid HD… except this time, they hurl weighted orbs that will stick to your face and lower your jump height. If you want to remove them, you’ll have to dig or roll them off
• But that’s not all! There are also now airmine hazards, floating, threatening, and ready to knock you around mid-air
• Loot maximum values on boosts, hats, and guns have been increased to compensate for increased difficulty and more interesting playstyles
• Music will now stays intense near the end of the level to convey the DANGER
• Bonus levels have been rebalanced
• The alien can now look DOWN as well as up to show which way player is “aiming”
• The HUD now shows if a player is at max hearts
• HUD has also been reworked to show a prompt when mutations are ready to be used
• The on-screen compass has been moved more towards the center of the screen so players won’t miss it as often
• The helicopter that you have to blow up as an objective now bobs and weaves away from the player (and flies in on-screen so that you can actually see what you’re chasing) 
• Insane mode, Normal mode, and Friendly mode heart maximums have all been changed to reflect a more expected result
• Hunters have been added to the game — they are ruthless, and can ambush a player at the start of levels
• Mothership coins can now be spent for temporary or permanent changes to your alien or your run. Each player can only purchase one item every visit so in multiplayer this means more items can be bought each time! Friendship is OP.
• The Mothership has been rearranged… and will introduce you to a new face

We also have a video recap that has flung itself your way, so if you’re a visual learner, use those glorious eyes right here!

We’re still getting transmissions from the Mothership, which means we’re still working to make our next game the best it can be! Until then, you know the drill — keep your eyes peeled for future updates, as we’re always excited to show off what we have in store.
