ANTONBLAST fills each second with cartoonish antics and compelling motion as you hurtle by way of its ridiculous platforming phases.
Devil is jealous of Anton’s beautiful crimson pores and skin tone, and so he has all of his moles steal your drinks. This, naturally, prompts you to hurry out your entrance door and smash all the pieces with a hammer. Which might be the response of somebody who shouldn’t be wherever close to alcohol, but it surely’s exhausting to not need to be part of Anton (or Annie – you might have your alternative of character and so they work equally) on their journey. Just a few moments spent bouncing, dashing, sliding, and cartoonishly pinging by way of these areas made for a recreation that was dangerously tough to place down.
Anton/Annie can do many various assaults that protect assault momentum or make you bounce/transfer sooner. In the event you soar and assault together with your large hammer, you’ll do a flip that makes you bouncer greater once you hit the bottom. Spin your hammer as you run and also you’ll clobber enemies whereas selecting up pace. It’s actually intuitive and the degrees all really feel like they’re designed to encourage you to chop free and see how briskly you possibly can string hits and bounces collectively. It makes you need to slam by way of these phases as quick as attainable, and with the enjoyable, animated assaults and motions of every motion, it’s simply enjoyable to look at the characters undergo their actions. You really want to look at the trailer for this one as nonetheless screens don’t do the motion justice.
Getting again to the phases – they’re stuffed with creative locales that offer you many enjoyable platforming actions whereas additionally inundating the participant with humorous locations and wild issues to do. Dashing by way of a flaming sewer on an enraged swordfish is a heck of a solution to finish a stage (full with a sharp-looking visible fashion only for this one a part of the extent) AND that is solely the second stage. With its nice motion, explosive and interesting animations, and its artistic ranges, ANTONBLAST is definitely one of the best platformer I’ve performed in ages and it isn’t even shut.
ANTONBLAST might be made accessible tomorrow (December 3, 2024) on the Nintendo eShop and Steam.
