Still hear far too many PT fans slandering this game. As a big PT fan, I won't tolerate AntonBLAST slander. Having played the Dynamite Demo on Switch and Steam, AntonBLAST is clearly an equally (but in a different way) fun "cousin" game. Really satiates my destructive tendency, in contrast to PT's unrelenting speed.

After playing both, I think I prefer Pizza Tower, but AntonBlast is phenomenal as well. They can both be great. AntonBlast is a lot more similar to Wario Land than Pizza Tower, being a weird amalgamation of WL3, WL4, WL Shake It, and WL Virtual Boy with some unique movement mechanics, while Pizza Tower is fairly different from the formula with mostly just WL4 inspirations. Both of these games are AMAZING, and as someone who grew up on Shake It, I'm so glad Wario Land is finally coming back in such a massive way.

And how can you say 2D games are not really your thing when you LOVED Super Mario Bros Wonder.. Let me give you an example of how it borrows from those 2 games. Going back through the level after getting tot he end is exactly what you do in Wario Land 4.. every stage has you trying to escape after getting to the end. And the jumping into the background in Virtual Boy Wario land. If they ever add Wario Land 4 to the switch online GBA app, play it. As for VB Wario Land.. emulate it. You see what i'm talking about.

ANTONBLAST is great man. I love how hectic and chaotic it is, which is enhanced by the amazing cartoony sound design. It feels really satisfying to plow through levels once you get the hang of the controls. I will say that I’m iffy on the precision platforming and the secret areas that don’t really have any rewards. But we’ll see what I think once the full game comes out. Also to those calling this game a Pizza Tower clone, please stop. That’s just wrong.
@Rubberman2025 ай бұрын
I'm really glad you clarified that you've never actually played the Wario Land games, I was always curious about that ever since you said you wanted more Wario Land reacting to WarioWare: Move It! despite saying you're not that into 2D platformers. I'm tempted to gush about them and also the rise of a budding subgenre of "Wario-Like" platformers that are being made as of late, but for now I'll boil down what I want to say to 2 points: 1.) The Wario Land series is surprisingly varied, though they can be placed into 3 groups: the "traditional platformer" group (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Virtual Boy Wario Land), the "immortal puzzle platformer" group (Wario Land II and Wario Land 3), and the "race back to the beginning" group (Wario Land 4 and Wario Land: Shake It!). In terms of where to start if you're interested in the series, Wario Land 4 is widely considered the best of the series and it's what ANTONBLAST is primary based on (with a dash of Virtual Boy Wario Land on top of it), and Wario Land 3 is already available on Nintendo Switch Online, so I'd start with either of those first. Keep in mind, though, Wario Land 3 is a much slower experience compared to Wario Land 4 and ANTONBLAST, there's a bigger emphasis on exploring and puzzle-solving in that game, so don't go into it expecting the stimulus overload ANTONBLAST offered. 2.) If you liked ANTONBLAST, I highly recommend giving Pizza Tower a try some time. I know the comparisons are obvious, and I find the constant accusations of ANTONBLAST being a rip-off of Pizza Tower disrespectful and annoying, but they both have the same inspiration and are both really fun games. Pizza Tower in particular is one of my favorite games of all time now, ever since it came out last year, and despite looking similar, it plays quite a bit differently than ANTONBLAST. I also wouldn't hope or expect a Nintendo Switch port or any kind of console port of the game anytime soon; the developers (which consists of 2 people, 5 if you include the composers) are more focused on adding to Pizza Tower and potentially making more games and have shown little to no interest in porting Pizza Tower. Maybe that will change in the future, I certainly hope it does, but for now, PC will be the only way you can play this game if you want to play it. Regardless of all that, though, I'm happy you see you liked ANTONBLAST, it's my most anticipated game of this year next to the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake, and I hope it it becomes a big success, the developers at Summitsphere have earned it!

As much as I want Nintendo to make a new Wario Land game, I am at least glad the spirit of Wario Land lives on through these other excellent games.

I've had this game on my wishlist for a while now, yet myself, I kinda preferred when Anton had a slower base movement and jump speed in the very first demo. The level design better fit that speed, the best example of such being that part of the Boiler City underground where you can bounce on crates to get over to a launcher. With the increased jumping speed, it's harder to break all the boxes in the way I assume the devs were planning us to. I also kind of miss pressing down to do the ground pound rather than A, and the fact that you'd automatically start spinning before bouncing when you did a hammer bounce. The clutch mechanic is 100% a fantastic addition, I can't argue that.

Thanks so much for making this vid! Checked out the demo today, had a super good time with it, and will absolutely be getting the game when it’s out!

Have you played Demon Turf: Neon Splash? It's a 3D platformer that gave me a similar feeling as the movement system makes it so fun to speedrun the levels.

You like this Wario like game and can't wait to play the full one? Oh boy, do I have news for you. Pizza Tower

I actually got to talk with the lead developer at PAX East this year! Super cool dude, and it was cool picking up on the other platformer references while playing. I was reminded of Mutant Muds when I saw the foreground and background jumping mechanics, and he said that game was one of the main inspirations. If you're reading this, I do hope you take what I said about the flashing afterimages and the deadzone options for controllers into account. Other than those relatively minor nitpicks, this game looks sick as hell and I can't wait for the full release!

I think I speak for all the Warioland fans out there when I say that, since it seems Nintendo is done with them, seeing fans come in and crank the energy to eleven with the Warioland-style games is a breath of fresh air. Between this and Pizza Tower, fans are eating good, and I hope we see many more!

You say we can check out how you played this game on stream, but I can't seem to find that anywhere. Is there a VOD available somewhere?

Antonblast definitely delivers. I struggled the 2nd demo level time limit being admittedly strict as a Wario-head fan, but definitely down for a second round the new release trailer demo

I am so hyped for this game! After you get used to the controls it's super satisfying to control! I'm excited to beat up Satan in November!

This game has Wario + Earthworm Jim energy. Where its combo meter is mostly out of well…i guess some modern combo meters? But what ya said fits more. Its like, maybe its a wario like….but it feels like its own identity. Cause there is so many mechanics in it that are, interesting.

Arlo you should see Anton’s original design, it’s more or less a Wario OC. The redesign has done wonders for the character. The Wario inspiration remains, but he’s more distinct now.

Anton's very first design in 2007 was initially inspired by homer simpson, yosemite sam and captain haddock, by around 2019, anton got the wario inspiration

Unpopular opinion but I’m not a fan of antonblast I find the movement ok feeling and level design being not built for the movement

I hope they add a toggle for the points icons + a toggle for the poker chips' collection animations. Those two things really contribute to how overwhelming the visuals can get.

I'm glad to see more content creators who aren't mostly focused on indie games exposed to Antonblast. I've heard this since the Kickstarter Demo days, and seeing the progression of their community is a good sign that this game is going to sell well day one.

Weirdly long gap between the demo and the actual game being released.
