Yahtzee Tries... Antonblast and Get To Work

[@nuadaairgetlam]

It's so sad that antonblast got accused of being a "pizza tower ripoff" when the reveal trailer released, both games had been in development for a long time, not to mention that the developers are friends

[@averagefez]

Really this is all Nintendo's fault for letting Wario Land fall to the wayside. Means a lot of people don't have that series as frame of reference for what Anton and Pizza are doing.

And here I thought the devs of both games were lovers

[@Falcovsleon21]

@@markgervais6174 No just their main characters. Which I am against. Anton’s only gonna break your heart Peppino.

"You are poor and bald. Get to work." Finally! A game that represents my real life.

[@Raveseeker]

I propose the name "sensory overload platformer" for Pizza Tower and Antonblast's nascent genre. I say this as someone who deeply enjoys both games, mind.

[@averagefez]

They're called Wario-likes, TYVM

[@Raveseeker]

@@averagefez see, I've played several Wario Lands, and both PTower and Antonblast are significantly more...everything, than those two

[@averagefez]

@@Raveseeker Thing is they're both heavily influenced by Wario Land in terms of characters(all of them star big burly fellas) and gameplay setup.

[@Pimploaf_YTP]

@@Raveseeker they both draw heavily on Wario Land 4 (and AB specifically likes the background jumping/swinging ball elements from virtual boy WL) If you've played WL4 you'll recognize tons of audio elements in both.

A week later, youtube finally bestowed the auto subtitles on this VoD! I quite enjoyed the AntonBlast one - nicely amiga'ey / megadrivey visuals reminding me of toejam & earl, boogerman, earthworm jim etc, and the music was great - sort of cartoon network meets 90's hip hop and rock

[@TheGoukaruma]

Antonblast is a mix of Warioland 4 and virtual boy Warioland. At least the second game isn't very known today.

Charlie Adler did not voice the demon guy in 5his game but is sounds very much like Charlie Adler. (Cow, chicken and the red guy, buster bunny, I.R. Baboon, Mr. Whiskers, Ickis, Dripple, Ed and Beverly BigHead, very large Hippo Lady, T Bone. If any of these cartoon characters name ring a bell. If your old like me. )

It’s Gianni Matragrano that voices Satan in this.

[@dubstepbee6892]

@@Falcovsleon21 I had a feeling that was him

1:19:39 The Funny thing is @CDawgVA isn't doing much more than a soft narrator voice, its not far from what he sounds like in his videos and Yahtzee just decides to attack the guy.

[@Texelion]

I'd replace that generic model in Get to work by a nice fitness girl in bright spandex from the 80's.

[@Rosehawka]

I was getting Icy Tower in that shop area for Antonblast.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JM8!!!!❤❤

[@real9270]

oi its knackered...... it's a bit pantsed innit, bloody ell

[@kantackistan]

I really want to enjoy Antonblast, but it really just is too overwhelming for me. Too much happening on screen too quickly, I lose track of everything in the mix. Not sure if I'm just too old to keep up, and I certainly hope everyone else can have a good time with it

[@ArtistMarkFlynn]

There are a bunch of options to turn down screen shake etc, if that is something you aren't vibing with!

[@kantackistan]

​@@ArtistMarkFlynnsadly it's not the screen shake that's doing it. There's no option to reduce the particles/sprites or increase resolution when Anton's in the background. Stuff that's part of the core design making it too hard for me to keep track.

[@randomdude9630]

for me antons bosses and alot of the levels ruined it for me the bosses are frustrating and explain nothing plus brulo only gives you health when you finally start beating them, most levels have terrible flow and alot of the bosses drag on way too long its so sad that the game was a 3 when it easily coulda been a 10

[@flaco3462]

@@kantackistan yeah dude i was feeling the exact same thing sometimes theres so much particles on the screen i lose track of where anton is and trying to land on something with my hammer spin is a nightmare and theres no way to get ridda all that

[@squiddu]

@@randomdude9630 I kinda want a bigger explanation here, because if nothing else the demos show that the level flow is.. well if you try to play it like pizza tower you're not gonna have a good time with it
