Alright, folks – we’ve got ANTONBLAST, developed and published by Summitsphere, on the table today. This action platformer seems to grab inspiration from classics like Wario Land and Crash Bandicoot, according to quite a few steam users. First impressions, anyone?

As someone who likes to explore every detail, I was pleasantly taken by ANTONBLAST. From knocking down bizarre worlds to tussling with colossal bosses, there’s a lot to uncover and complete! The objectives of setting detonators, finding Anton’s spirit, and escaping each level before Happy Hour ends offer a myriad of gameplay opportunities.

And the controls! It’s challenging but immensely rewarding once you get the hang of it. There’s a depth to the item usage – especially the Mighty F’n Hammer which allows for extensive demolition and interaction with the environment. Deciding when and where to use your power-ups adds strategic depth and encourages player creativity.

Definitely! And for speedrunners like myself, it’s a treat to optimize our moves amidst all the chaos. I must say though, the pinball sections did catch me off guard. They can be a bit challenging when you’re trying to race against the clock.

Speaking of chaos, the story is as wild as the gameplay. Anton and Annie battling against Satan to get their spirits back? How did Summitsphere come up with that?

It really does make you want to explore every nook and cranny. The unlikely alliance with a disgraced casino owner, Brulo, adds a comic and entertaining twist to the narrative, adding another layer of engagement to the game.

And let’s take a moment to appreciate the cast of characters, each with their own quirks and personalities. Anton’s outrageously aggressive demeanor, Annie’s snappy attitude, and Brulo’s outspokenness add another dimension to the gameplay.

Although I tend to rush through the storyline, I have to admit, these characters did make me stop and chuckle a few times.

Speaking of visually striking, ANTONBLAST delivers with its urban graffiti-inspired art style, and the destruction of the environments is a visual spectacle.

Not to mention the animated details within those bizarre worlds! There were times where I stood still just to marvel at the artistic craft.

Agreed! And the audio, it fits the chaotic vibe perfectly – a wild soundtrack with sound effects that really immerse the player amidst the destruction unfolding in the game.

The difficulty curve is something worth noting. It’s challenging enough to get the adrenaline pumping, especially with the bosses, but doesn’t feel unfairly so.

And feeling rewarded to replay! With different paths to explore, secrets to find, there’s a solid replay value that keeps drawing players back in!

Correct, the dynamic playstyle is a game-changer. Rushing through for the best time or exploring every corner, both offer a unique gameplay experience.

ANTONBLAST definitely brings a fresh version of platforming fun – chaos, comedy, and explosions, it’s unique and a hoot to play.

If you’re into speedrunning or like games like Crash Bandicoot and WarioLand, ANTONBLAST is a must-try.

There you have it folks, ANTONBLAST by Summitsphere: a chaotic, destructible action platformer with engaging gameplay, entertaining storyline, and quirky characters. Give it a shot, bring out your inner Anton, and let the mayhem begin.
