Antonblast

Everyone should play Antonblast at least once, but good luck with that. There are still spirits to collect, and I’ll be riding this rollercoaster again in no time. Now, bring on the speedruns; this is gonna be a… I’m not gonna say it, but you get it.

ANTONBLAST is a new benchmark title for all Wario Land-inspired games thanks to its unbelievably exciting levels and bosses that can rival any classic 2D platformer

Antonblast is like Crash Bandicoot if it was part Wario Land, part Ed, Edd n Eddy, and all awesome.

ANTONBLAST is silly, chaotic, eclectic and above all FUN!
