Antonblast is a fast-paced explosive action platformer that's all about destruction. Play as the enraged Dynamite Anton (or his cranked-out coworker Annie) and use your Mighty F’n Hammer to demolish bizarre worlds, tussle with screen-filling bosses, and steal your Spirits back from Satan!
Antonblast is a delightful and silly platformer that successfully captures the spirit of those retro Wario-style games while still introducing some modern and fun twists. The fluid gameplay, vibrant visuals, and engaging mechanics make it a great pick for anyone who loves a good 2D challenge. The game can get pretty brutal and visually confusing, but...
As it stands, Antonblast feels like it should do everything right. In reality, it feels quite hollow. There’s no real relatability to the characters. The game is fine and everything, and the way it’s laid out makes sense even if it does kind of hide levels from you for some reason. Still, there’s a lack of real spirit that doesn’t make it fun beyond...
It’s very easy to like the game’s characters thanks to how much personality they have, and things like the voice acted cutscenes are the cherry on top of the whole experience. If Pizza Tower looks a little too daunting, then look towards Antonblast for an easier entry into the world of fast-paced 2D platformers; you won’t regret it.
Never has a game captured so well the chaotic feeling of two demolition experts battling satanic forces! [...] Nothing in ANTONBLAST is delivery half-baked.
Antonblast is chaotic to a fault. Its explosive personality makes for an entertaining spectacle, but it left me wanting for a more controlled detonation.
