I.T. Kid

Alien Hominid is what a Flash game looks like when it decides to become a console game. Your flying saucer is shot down over the desert, the FBI arrives in numbers, and from there it is a run-and-gun: blast through soldiers, jump, roll, and take the occasional bite out of the agent standing in your way. Newgrounds' own page for it introduces it exactly that way -- 'Your UFO has crash landed, and the FBI is out to get you! Time to take them out! Programming by Tom Fulp of Newgrounds.com! Art by Dan Paladin!' Tom Fulp wrote the ActionScript and Dan Paladin drew it, and the pairing produced one of the landmarks of the site it was published on: the Flash game led directly to The Behemoth and to a run of console releases. It was published on Newgrounds, and its hand-drawn art and unrepentant gore are still the game's signature.
