ANTONBLAST

feels clunky often, but still a good game.

Я хотел поиграть в нечто похожее на Pizza Tower, но от ANTONBLAST я такого же удовольствия не получил. Да, игра выглядит хорошо, начиная с задников и заканчивая анимациями, но на мою субъективную оценку уровни чересчур затянутые. Также они сложные, что при более коротких уровнях это было бы плюсом.

İleride belki tekrar şans veririm ama şimdilik hiç keyif vermedi. Pizza tower oyununa benziyor diye aldım ama ne mizahı onun kadar iyi ne de oynanışı. Çizim tarzı falan güzel ama çoğu zaman ekranda ne olduğunu zar zor algılıyorum. Bölüm tasarımı ve çeşitlilik olarak da pizza tower'ın yanına bile yaklaşamaz.

Эта игра очень сильно похожа на Pizza Tower, но вот превосходит ли она его? Для меня нет, ибо они равны и обе шикарны, однако я готов сделать дань уважения разработчикам! Игра быстрая, однако в ней даже нет возможности бегать, но это особо не требуется, ибо ускорения молотком вполне хватает. Все уровни оформлены и выглядят очень круто, иногда забавно и ОЧЕНЬ интригующе и интересно, ибо в КАЖДОМ уровни присутствуют новые механики. Игра пропитана сленгом, матами и местами юмором. Впрочем, всё как мы любим. Также в игре есть ОГРОМНОЕ количество кастомизации - целых 110 вариантов раскрасок главных героев! Главный плюс этой игры в том, что эту игру даже можно запустить на слабом ноутбуке 10 летней давности. Самое главное, чтобы система была 64-разрядная. Единственный минус (который лишь в данном случае плюс) - сложность игры. Она ЗНАЧИТЕЛЬНО выше, чем у Pizza Tower, однако именно этим и затягивает, ибо оценок самих по себе нету, и вы можете ОЧЕНЬ сильно постараться получить самую лучшуюю оценку "CRACKED" на любом уровне. Игра определённо стоит внимания для тех людей, которые любят игры на подобии Pizza Tower и ценят скорость. Ах да, чуть не забыл... Всегда мечтал побить кротов гигантским молотком.

Game good

Il diavolo ha un gyat incredibile

I enjoyed it, though it didn't quite blow me away. Visually, it reminded me a bit of Crash Bandicoot, and at times, somme old creepy Cartoon Network shows (probably because of the bad guy's looks and butt lol) which, I admit, is something I like a bit less, but the end result is a cohesive look that’s quite pleasing to the eye. The Crash Bandicoot influence extends to the audio, alongside echoes of Wario Land 4 (in the sound effects, music, and gameplay). That said, there’s a lot going on onscreen; even though you can tweak certain settings, I still struggled with the visual clutter. Perhaps I’m just not a fan of modern games where the whole screen seems to be exploding with activity. On the other hand, contrary to what I’ve read elsewhere, I found the gameplay felt quite Sonic-like at times. I also had a bit of trouble with the alternate paths (needed for 100% completion) that I’d miss early on, forcing me to replay the entire level... These sections require slowing down and playing with finesse, which isn't exactly intuitive. To me, the "fast-paced action platformer" style doesn't always mesh well with moments demanding such precision. It’s the same kind of frustration as the gem quests in Crash Bandicoot 2, where you reach the end of a level only to realize you missed a crate needed to unlock a diamond. I’m not a fan of that mechanic; I find it distracting and rather annoying. The same goes for the various items you pick up here and there without really knowing why or how. It’s not really my cup of tea, but otherwise, it’s well-crafted and has plenty of nice touches. The art style is original, provided it clicks with you. It’s a pretty snappy and engaging experience. Even though I couldn't get past the fourth level, without really knowing why (wrong path, or who knows what else) and despite feeling like I could have gone further, the game just didn't really hook me. But that’s just my subjective opinion, and I’d completely understand if others disagreed. I’d still recommend it, though; you can tell the devs put their hearts into capturing the feel of the games that inspired them, and overall, it was a fun experience. Personally, however, I don't see myself finishing it.

TL:DR; Take the Cow & Chicken/Ed, Edd n' Eddy era of Cartoon Network, take it up exactly one age rating, blend it with Wario, and you get Antonblast! Slightly worse than pizza tower mechanically, still a good game. A perfect accompanying game to Pizza Tower, Antonblast is a platformer all about breaking through the level as quickly as possible, front to back then back to front. It's sense of style and humour is on point and reminds me of my favourite weird cartoons of yesteryear, I wish more games still had the desire to be this distinct and flavourful. about my only complaints are learning the controls can be a bit fiddly as a keyboard player and I think some of them could be re-done to be more context sensitive so there's less to keep track of as you learn, and that the 3 life system is kind of pointless these days. If you're doing well, you won't lose any and notice the system and if you're doing badly with hazards then you just get set back an arbitrary number of minutes. I think flat score reductions would be better to keep the flow going- like Pizza Tower. So, the Pizza-elephant in the room. AB came out about a year after PT, and I don't think they're trying to copy them. They both clearly where inspired by the old fast-paced Wario games and a certain era of punk-adjacent animation and cartoons, and took their games in slightly different directions. PT has AB beat unfortunately in terms of mechanical elegance where you are given the tools to keep your flow (and play) going much easier without actually lowering the difficulty. Also, the bosses are well animated and all but they don't have much in common with the normal gameplay. I think they're supposed to be novel breaks from it, but they end up just being short frustrating roadblocks that you die to about a thousand times before you figure out the exact method to beat them. It's a good game and a very good entry in the dash-n-break platformer Wario-like game genre with oodles of flavour, I just wish it was a tad more mechanically elegant like its pizza peer.

When i purchased this game i was not expecting puzzles. In level 11 if i'm not mistaken there is a puzzle that is straight up confusing and got me stuck, now i cannot go any further thanks to it

Great game. Still stuck on the second level tho.
