Hey Everyone! My friend and I are thinking of making a two player co-op speedrun of the PDA minigames on Alien Hominid for Gamecube. What do you all think?

A regular speedrun must be submitted before these runs will be accepted.

Complete. Global. Saturation.

Yeah, blast your way through single player and then submit your extra run. Alien Hominid is one game that I'd really love to see on this site.

Okay. I'll see what my friend thinks about it, as it's his game.

Random enemy spawns, you can't manipulate enemy AI, totally unpredictable AI, random weapon spawns, and grenades weaker than your pistol. Yep, it's Alien Hominid. I'll sacrifice one of my friends and call you God if you complete a run without deaths (for the main game).

So I'm not the only one who hates this game?! There is a God!

Are you saying that the run will be void if you die?

If Mike Uyama will be verifying, then yes.

Yoshi's eggs are at my mercy!

Co-op is almost a must. But if someone is crazy enough to complete the game death-free, I bow to them.

A good starting goal would be to complete the game without getting a game over. Then improve to death-free.

There's no way you can complete this game death-free, there simply isn't.

You CAN complete it without dying, but completing it fast without dying is something that just won't happen.

edit: I'm very interested in coop individual level runs though.

Okay then. But, I will have to talk to my friend though. As I said before, it's his game.

Haha, no way, this game has too much randomness, glitchiness, and too many tiny bullets that blend in with the background.

I like this game, but it's also obvious it's an indie effort from the sloppiness and lack of balance (both weapons and difficulty).

I'll make an exception with this game, go ahead and do PDA game runs. The PDA game is better than the main game anyways, and it's not like you're unlocking something super broken.

This game now has the "OK" from Big Mike himself. Hop to it men.

Sweet. But, I'd like to hear it from "Big Mike" himself, just to make sure. But, if I can do the PDA run without the actual game run, then okay.

Shame this game was never released in the UK, only an internet small demo of the game.

Mike Uyama aka mikwuyma aka Big Mike (not really).

I just finished this game up again and realized two things:

1) It is impossible to get through almost any level without dying at some point.

2) Runs are going to need to be segmented and done from the level select screen.

The good news is that pretty much all you need to survive is a fast trigger finger.

Most of the bosses also have glitches or spots that can be used against them. For the last guy, you'll need them for certain.

I guess that would work. Again, I'll have to ask my friend.
