WELP! As announced on Indie World, ANTONBLAST is launching on November 12th! A massive thank you to the amazing people at Nintendo for supporting us with this announcement and the development of the game.
Can’t wait for you all to play what we’ve been cooking, it’s a banger 💥
As seen on Nintendo's Indie World presentation...
ANTONBLAST is crash landing onto Nintendo Switch on November 12th. 💥
🔨 Blast massive levels!
🫗 Steal your Spirits from Satan!
⏰ Escape for Happy Hour!
The Dynamite Demo will be available to download today on Nintendo eShop.
Honestly this design just feels really bland as far as a “Wapeach” goes. Wario and Waluigi have such incredibly funny shapes and design language so it’s a little lame to see yet another dainty female Mario character with petite human proportions. Where the goofy evil ladies at?
ANTONBLAST reviews are in!
IGN - FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!
GamesRadar - FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!

Prompt: Super Mario throwing Toadsworth, Blue Toad, and Princess Peach off of the Delfino Airstrip, loud belching, Nintendo GameCube capture, affordable housing.
fun fact: this image is lost media. reverse image searching it provides entirely useless results and the only other sources of it are reposts on Twitter and Fantendo.
I LOVE my Devolver friends, so this is no shade at them, but… in the most respectful way possible, I have NEVER heard of this game before seeing this tweet, and I’d consider myself well connected.
I feel like what we’re looking at is a seismic shift in how game visibility works
Children of the Sun received enormous amounts of media coverage and exceptional reviews. It peaked at 208 players on its launch day yesterday, which means it will probably sell around 5,000 units in the next 7 days. Undoubtedly below expectations for Devolver.
>looking for a new game
>ask the developer if their game is wario or crash
>he doesnt understand
>pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is wario and what is crash
>he laughs and says "it's a good game sir"
>back the kickstarter
>it’s crash
Now that Twitter is actually going to die you legally need to admit your game dev sins
I have hidden abstracted versions of Loss in older projects and you’ll NEVER find them.
one of the funniest things about tiktok is how people invariably respond with the most effortless nasty comments without considering that it just means more people are gonna see the game they’re hating on
this is really funny to me because AI image generation is becoming increasingly sophisticated.. yet irrespective of how capable it may become, the people touting it as a “game changer” are still incapable of producing any kind of meaningful art.
like giving copics to a caveman
OpenAI just dropped DALL-E 3 a few hours ago, and it's a game changer for making comics.
I made the comic strip below in less than 15 mins.
Here is my process:
CALLING ALL CARTOON ANIMATORS! love Antonblast and think you've got animation chops? we're looking to hire part time animators to support our team!
if you think you can pull off fluid, cartoony animation like the below then hit us up! (deets ⬇️)
Just heard about the passing of Brendan O’Brien, original Crash Bandicoot voice actor.
It’s a huge shock; I’d been a fan of Brendan’s for years, and recently he and I had been talking about having a role in Antonblast, too.
Absolutely gutted and blindsided..RIP, man.
1962-2023
absolutely no hate toward OP but it's really hard for me to share the sentiment that SEGA is deserving of any praise for not being 'money hungry' when just a few days ago they canceled several in-development projects (including one close to launch) and laid off tons of employees.
Though not everything is perfect, I think Sonic Frontiers deserves genuine credit for all its updates being free
With how money hungry many games become nowadays, to put in all this extra for free is legit commendable
Hey, fuck you SAG-AFTRA.
Summitsphere will always exclusively work with real voice actors and pay them what they deserve. I urge my fellow developers and publishers to do the same.
"Somewhere off in rural America, there's a missing terrarium that's been lost and forgotten."
Announced during our Wholesome Snack showcase, Vivarium is a gorgeous game about life inside a mysterious terrarium.
CASTING CALL! love Antonblast and think you can draw like this? we're looking for awesome hi-res art folks to work with on dope paid Summitsphere projects and we'd love to hear from you! drop me a DM if you're interested! 💥 (RTs appreciated)
IT'S HAPPY HOUR!
I'm releasing my ANTONBLAST models! Also did a silly recreation of the game trailer to show off some new stuff 🧨

i really don’t wanna upset any media friends, but as a dev whose work was totally obscure until last year, “if people aren’t talking about it then it isn’t good” hurts a lot :{ i don’t think that’s the attitude we should have toward art, there are so many hidden gems out there.
an unfinished Sonic game dressing the complete release as “free DLC” for goodwill marketing does not adequately excuse the evil of laying off hundreds of staff without warning because you erratically spent 3/4 of a billion dollars on a one-hit wonder mobile publisher
someone called our “new” Clutch Boost system “the best Sonic Rush game ever” and tbh that was completely unintentional but i can see it and i’ll take it. it rocks
(and is also blatantly Crash Team Racing-inspired lol)
apparently the top two youtube results for “antonblast” have nearly 350k views between them?
makes me kind of embarrassed because the state of the game behind the scenes is FAR beyond what it was like then - hoping people will love what it’s evolved into 😇🫶
Hey so we decided ANTONBLAST needed Crash Team Racing-style boost mechanics 🏁
Time your Clutch presses just right and you'll get an EVEN FASTER boost each time 🔥 How high can you get your Clutch Combo?
we did it reddit! antonblast is now officially in the top 1000 most wishlisted games on steam! thanks all for your amazing support.
i’d be thanking you a lot more if you got us to
#420
though
you all need to buy 5 copies each of antonblast so that summitsphere can eventually make a 3d hallway anton game that is just crash bandicoot 2 with an anton model replacing crash's

Antonball Deluxe is two years old today! it’s the game that introduced Anton and Annie to the world, and kickstarted my bizarre journey of making wonderfully weird & joyful games with my best friends. i’m very grateful for it! if you like GBA-flavored arcade titles, give it a go!
Wow, Antonblast breaking into the 600s of the Steam wishlist charts. My girls would love it. In fact, the first sentence Annie ever said was "I love wishlists"
i'm thinking a lot about making an Antonball sequel, again. Deluxe's arcade focus was great but unambitious, and that game has some problems... but it'd be awesome to make a modern take that takes more after Antonblast ;}
who'd be interested? and what would you wanna see?
