MONSTER
Antonblast follows the hapless drunkard Dynamite Anton, as he embarks on a journey across the Backburner Peninsula after his prized Spirits collection is stolen by Satan himself in a fit of jealous rage. Exploding with anger, Anton seeks to exact revenge the only way he knows how: by acting as a one-man demolition crew and blowing up Hell itself! As Anton, players will smash, crash, and blast through nine worlds in search of his stolen Spirits, from the seedy Boiler City all the way to the gates of Hell. Along the way, Anton will use his Mighty Hammer to break down structures and baddies alike, altering the layout of the stage itself! That's not the only twist, either... After retrieving his beloved Spirit at the end of each stage, Anton will need to wipe the place clean of hellspawn once and for all: set off the detonator and run back to the start before Happy Hour ends and the whole place is blown to pieces! The player will have to reckon with the path they carved for themselves as they run back to the start, having either hindered or helped Anton in his mad dash to the exit.

Overall, I can easily recommend ANTONBLAST. It is a fun frantic platformer with a complex yet rewarding move set and a vast expanse of locales to explore. Enemies are cool, bosses are better, and the experience as a whole comes wrapped in a juicy campaign with thoughtfully animated characters. If the game sounds even remotely interesting, I strongly recommend that you check it out.

Antonblast is a blast, literally. Its high-octane platforming meets speedrunning is a love letter to everything Wario fans love and have wanted for years, but highly more profane and chaotic in all the right ways. Summitsphere’s platformer is not one to miss, folks.

Antonblast is a chaotic and challenging 2D platformer that combines tight controls, masterful level design, and a unique sense of humor. With its relentless pacing, creative mechanics like the Happy Hour feature, and vibrant audiovisual presentation, it delivers an exhilarating experience for platforming veterans. While some unlockables and gimmicks fall short, the game's charm and intensity make it a standout indie gem and one of the year's best platformers.

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 its strengths far outweigh these minor issues, making Antonblast a fun and rewarding adventure.
