A Milestone for Alien Hominid!

by

A long time ago, we made a game called Alien Hominid. It was based on the Newgrounds.com web game of the same name by Dan Paladin and Tom Fulp, and it led the creation of the Behemoth.

Well, just the other day, the original version of Alien Hominid passed a big milestone on Newgrounds – the game has now exceeded 20 million plays!

After being released on Newgrounds, the Behemoth was eventually formed and Alien Hominid was developed for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2. Now the full HD version is available on Xbox LIVE.

Our lovable, little, yellow alien invader pal sure has come a long way since that little Flash version of the game. 20 million plays? That’s a LOT of chomped heads. Yeah… we’re really proud of him.

Anyway, we just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve supported us by playing the game, sharing it with your friends, and even wearing our Alien Hominid antennae at the San Diego Comic-Con with pride!

In other news, our fan fiction writing contest finalists have been selected and you can vote for your favorite story. The top five will be the lucky winners of a BattleBlock Theater t-shirt or Castle Crashers on XBLA or PSN America. YOU choose those five. Winners will be announced next Tuesday, May 15th.

Until then, try playing the original Alien Hominid to relive some of those chomptacular memories!

The calm before each storm

When we arrive each morning to our booth at PAX East, the atmosphere of the hall is so different. Here’s what everything looks like as we start up each day of the expo.

Just 5 hours and 40 minutes left until the end of PAX East 2012. Don’t forget to stop by and play Super Soviet Missile Mastar and take a chance at winning the missile we built! Highest score on that iPad by 3PM will get to take it home with them.

Alright, we’ve arrived at PAX. Now what?

We’ve been super busy setting up our mega booth of happiness for all PAX East attendees to marvel and drool over. For those of you who can’t control your drool, please do it in another booth so we don’t have to put up a bunch of “Caution: Floors Slippery When Drooled On” signs all over the place.

While we have been preoccupied with the booth, we did take a boatload of new photos for you and also put together a nifty montage video too. First up, let’s check out the photos:

 

And now for the montage video:

Do your eyes feel like they were massaged by a jelly donut rainbow just now? Yeah, that’s what we thought. You’re welcome.

We’ll have more updates every day this week, so please stay tuned to the blog. Also, be sure to sign up on the forums to win a free PSN download code of Closure by entering our new PAX caption contest!
