Indie developer Summitsphere has announced a release date for ANTONBLAST, their new hand-animated retro platformer.
The Wario Land-inspired platformer is launching on November 12th for Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch. The Switch version is a timed exclusive, the original Kickstarter for the game was planned for Xbox and PlayStation, too.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
ANTONBLAST is an explosive, action-packed retro platformer featuring a destructive twist to classic gameplay and a lovingly hand-animated pixel aesthetic inspired by the Game Boy Advance, blown up and reimagined for the modern era!
ANTONBLAST follows the story of Dynamite Anton, a Destruction Worker with a bone to pick! When Satan himself steals Anton’s prized Spirit collection out of envy, Anton doesn’t just get mad – he gets even!
As Anton, you’ll be exploring sprawling worlds across the Burner Peninsula, smashing them apart with your Mighty Hammer to find your lost Spirits, and eventually, march all the way down to Heck to give Satan a piece of your mind!
