| Do you like AGHR? Check out our sequel, Home World Run! | 2024-03-23 | (originally posted by +TEK at https://steamcommunity.com/app/514340/discussions/0/4297069816685070616/?tscn=1710986800) For quite a while now, we've been hard at work developing a sort of spiritual/spinoff sequel to Aliens Go Home Run, called Home World Run! Instead of a breakout-type game, it is instead a beat'em up platformer game, with Sally returning as the main protagonist but bringing along a new sidekick of hers - Jackie, her little sister. Both of them get to kick some alien behind once more, not before getting themselves kidnapped onto their spaceship. We post updates about the game's development in a few places: Twitter: https://twi |
| Update Live! Version 2.0! | 2018-06-17 | Updated game to Unity 2018. Bullet spreads are now evenly spaced. Several objects that were instantiated/destroyed are now pooled instead. This should greatly improve performance across a variety of platforms. Game-breaking bug in which enemies would reappear during bonus rounds fixed. Intro can now be skipped with buttons besides enter/space. If you have any issues, feel free to email us at contact@anim-ace.com, or hit us up on twitter @anim_ace |
| 1.6.4 | 2018-01-11 | Bonus rounds shouldn't happen during boss battles anymore. Let us know if anything else weird happens. |

| 1.6.2 | 2017-10-05 | Stage backgrounds made slightly darker Ice boss's spike projectiles slowed down by 25 px/s (pixels per second) Malloc's diagonal lasers now extend out over half a second rather than magically appearing, giving players more time to react to them.

| 1.6.1 | 2017-09-26 | Fixed bug with level editor that prevented other objects in the level editor from spawning if a Gui soldier was placed before them. Fixed bug with level editor that prevented objects that don't start offscreen from being created if the editor is set in offscreen mode. Screenshake is now a setting that you can change. NOTE: Your settings (i.e. music volume, sound volume, button preferences, and resolution) may be reset when you open the game for the first time after this update. Gui soldiers should no longer get stuck between destructors/bumpers and the edge of the screen. Please send us screenshots or video if you do manage to get them stuck |
