God bless those who find dying every 3 seconds fun...
And it's a real shame, because I love the story of an alien trying to recover his spaceship. The graphics are actually really good. But in my opinion, all of this is ruined by a ridiculous difficulty level.
So, go ahead and justify one bullet kills. Go ahead and justify dying every 3 seconds. I think it's cheap. Actually, I think it makes the game broken. Here's an idea: instead of giving me 50 lives and a difficulty level that has me die every 3 seconds, give me 5 lives and a fighting chance. The line between hard and broken is very thin, and Alien Hominid crosses it.
