Unleash the Nostalgic Fury: ’90s-Inspired Out-of-Control Platformer Action in Antonblast

Antonblast: A Chaotic, Yet Calming, Retro-Style Adventure

A Blast from the Past

Imagine playing a zany Saturday morning cartoon come to life. That’s what Antonblast is all about – a maximalist, fast-paced action platformer that’s equal parts chaotic and calming. Despite its initial confusion, the game somehow gels into a coherent experience that’s both thrilling and soothing.

A Nostalgic Trip

With its launch in 2024, Antonblast looks like a long-lost side-scrolling platformer from the 16-bit era of the SNES or Sega Genesis. The fantastic pixel art, ’90s-era character designs, and Mode 7-like effects all contribute to its retro charm. You’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon a missing classic from the era.

A Chaotic Experience

As Anton or Annie, you’ll charge through various enemies and obstacles to retrieve Spirits (drinks) from the villainous Satan, who’s stolen and scattered them throughout 12 different levels. The levels often feature gimmicks or themes that are explored with precision, like turning into a pinball or transforming into a bouncing, explosive bomb.

Building Momentum

Antonblast encourages you to build momentum, like a classic Sonic game. It’s easy to get into a flow state of surging forward, even when things feel out of control. As you get better at the game, you’ll start to feel more chill when things get out of hand, trusting that the game will guide you through.

Boss Fights and Challenges

The boss fights are epic, screen-filling spectacles that can be frustratingly difficult. However, reloads are quick, making those frustrations a bit easier to deal with. The final level and boss are particularly challenging, but the payoff for seeing them through is worth it.

A Fun, Immature Ride

Like the ’90s-era cartoons that inspire it, Antonblast can be a little loud and immature. There’s even a button to make your character scream! But the creators clearly had fun making an over-the-top world, and it’s damn fun to play – even when you don’t know what’s going on.

Get Ready to Play

Antonblast is available now on Nintendo Switch and Steam. So, buckle up and get ready for a chaotic, yet calming, retro-style adventure that’s sure to delight.
