Antonblast is type of like taking part in a zany Saturday morning cartoon. It’s brash, maximalist, and sometimes, you’ll really feel such as you don’t really perceive what’s occurring. One way or the other, that chaos gels into one thing that truly is sensible — and, at instances, is even calming.
Antonblast simply launched in 2024, but it surely appears like a long-lost side-scrolling platformer from the 16-bit period of the SNES or Sega Genesis. That’s not simply as a result of implausible pixel artwork. There are enjoyable touches like delightfully ’90s-era character designs and Mode 7-like results, akin to your character splatting in opposition to the display screen if you die, that basically make it really feel like a lacking traditional of the period.
