You can still generously donate to victims through purchases of the games Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers; the scheme has been extended until this Friday. Of course, if you're still feeling a little guilty for missing the window of opportunity, you can still directly donate to the fund here to repent for your sins.
The Behemoth pledged today to donate 100% of all revenue generated by downloadable content (DLC) for their Xbox LIVE Arcade games Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid HD through January 24th directly to Haiti disaster relief. In addition, The Behemoth will match the amount generated by all DLC downloads, doubling the amount to be donated. All money raised will be donated to American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development.
Gamasutra writes: Indie studio The Behemoth has carved out an incredibly well-defined niche for itself, thanks largely to its games' retro 2D gameplay and striking artwork by Dan Paladin -- and so despite the somewhat unclear nature of its upcoming game, it already has a strong identity. Beyond definitely looking like a Behemoth game, few details are known about the project -- but producer John Baez shared some details with Gamasutra, including the fact that the studio is a registered developer for not only Xbox Live Arcade but also PlayStation Network and WiiWare.
As a feisty yet adorable alien, gamers must fend off FBI agents in search of their coveted spacecraft. With unique, hand-drawn characters and weapons, this award-winning title is the epitome of quirky humour and intergalactic fun. Sixteen levels, seven Mini-Games, and jump-in anytime multiplayer capability adds to the cosmic mayhem. Alien Hominid HD from The Behemoth is a side-scrolling extraterrestrial experience like no other, and is available now for download on XboxLIVE! Arcade for Xbox360.
