Antonblast presents an experience similar to that of a wild Saturday morning cartoon. It is bold, extravagant, and at times, leaves you feeling a bit lost. However, amidst the chaos, a sense of coherence emerges, and occasionally, it even brings a sense of tranquility.
Antonblast was released in 2024, yet it exudes the essence of a classic side-scrolling platformer from the 16-bit era of SNES or Sega Genesis. This nostalgic vibe is not just attributed to its pixel art, but also to its charming ’90s character designs and retro effects reminiscent of Mode 7, like the screen splatting upon your character’s demise, giving it an authentic retro feel.
