I can’t quite decide if Antonblast is destructive genius or just a little bit too chaotic for its own good. Following in Wario’s preferred mode of 2D platforming – aka: slamming Anton’s thick shoulders, gritted chin and whirling, Taz the Tasmanian Devil-style hurricane legs into every obstacle going rather than a polite bop on the head a la Mario, Antonblast is big on screenshake, exploding paraphernalia and pinballing through levels like a raging battering ram. It’s wonderfully frenetic, as the two levels in its Steam Next Fest demo make plain.
