Abduct colourful collection of platform mini-games Alien Hominid: PDA Games from the App Store tomorrow for free

Castle Crashers developer Behemoth is bringing the PDA mini-games from its cult hit Alien Hominid to iOS.

The original Alien Hominid put you in the bright yellow skin of an irate extra-terrestrial, who had to use a ray gun to murder-death-kill his way through wave-upon-wave of FBI agents.

Written for Flash, the colourful alien blaster became so successful that it received a full release on PlayStation 2 and Xbox, with an HD version eventually appearing on XBLA.

The PDA mini-games bundled with Alien Hominid became popular in their own right, offering simple, retro platforming fun with multiplayer support.

This area is on lockdown

Behemoth has revealed that an iOS port of these mini-games will be arriving in the App Store in freemium form.

Downloading the Alien Hominid: PDA Games app will let you try out 15 levels for free. If you want to unlock the remaining 500+ levels, you will have to cough up 69p / 99c for the privilege.

Running at 60 frames per second and boasting 23 new achievements, HD visuals, and a pause menu replay function, Alien Hominid: PDA Games will invade the App Store on December 9th.
