Antonblast is an out-of-control platformer with its heart in the ’90s


You can even press a button to make your character scream.

Summitsphere, Antonblast ’s developer, describes the game as a “fast-paced explosive action platformer,” and that’s a good way to summarize how it actually feels to play. It’s sort of what would happen if you put Wario, Sonic,Donkey Kong Country, Crash Bandicoot, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and Rocko’s Modern Life into a blender. As Anton or Annie, you’ll charge through various enemies and obstacles in your path, sometimes turning into a literal tornado of chaos, to retrieve Spirits (as in drinks) from a villainous Satan, who has stolen and scattered them throughout 12 different levels.
