ANTONBLAST

ANTONBLAST is an explosive 2D action platformer by Summitsphere. Players take on the role of Dynamite Anton or Annie and smash through bizarre levels with a mighty hammer after Satan steals Anton's Spirit collection.

The title combines fast platforming, destructible environments, battles against large enemies and chase sequences built heavily around pace, with striking pixel art presentation.

ANTONBLAST was released on Dec 3, 2024 for PC and on Dec 13, 2024 for Nintendo Switch. The native versions for PS4 and PS5 are set to launch on Oct 15, 2026. Publisher Joystick Ventures and developer Summitsphere have narrowed the originally mid-October window to a specific date in their latest press release, according to a report.

The official US PlayStation Store confirms both console versions, but still shows Release date to be determined. The exact date therefore currently comes from the publishers' new announcement, not from an already updated Sony Store listing. The PlayStation launch is not a new main game, but the native console release of the platformer available since 2024.

Confirmed are PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The PlayStation Store page lists PS5 and PS4 separately; on PS5, DualSense vibration and adaptive triggers are supported.

The PlayStation versions expand the previous PC and Switch release to include Sony's current and previous console generations. No other platforms have been announced so far.

Anton and Annie use the Mighty Hammer to smash enemies and parts of the environment. A quick dash builds momentum and can be combined with attacks and jumps. Many areas switch between foreground and background layers, so the levels are not just built horizontally.

Each stage combines platforming, combat, hidden items and large boss encounters. The focus is more on offensive movement and destruction than on cautious, precision platforming.

On Steam, the ANTONBLAST Original Soundtrack is offered separately as additional content. It is a music release, not a new playable campaign. Major story expansions are not listed in the official product information on which this is based.

Under Windows 10 or newer, ANTONBLAST requires a 64-bit processor, DirectX 12, at least 2 GB RAM, 128 MB graphics memory and 2 GB free storage, according to Steam. 4 GB RAM and 512 MB graphics memory are recommended. Steam does not list a specific CPU model.

The central level structure builds towards the Happy Hour. First, the player activates Brulo's explosives and finds Anton's stolen spirit. Then a time-critical escape back to the exit begins, while the level changes and collapses around them.

This return phase is not a one-off story gag but a permanent core element of the level structure, combining exploration with a fast finish under time pressure.

The stages of ANTONBLAST combine obstacles, destructible objects and paths across different background layers. Anton and Annie use the hammer and quick movements to overcome enemies and open up routes. The levels allow both a fast run-through and more thorough exploration.

ANTONBLAST is a single-player platformer. Steam offers achievements and cloud saves. According to the PlayStation Store, the PS5 version supports DualSense vibration and adaptive triggers, while the PS4 version offers DUALSHOCK 4 vibration. Both PlayStation products are listed as single-player titles.

According to Steam, the PC version offers text in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, among others. English is listed with full voice audio, while a German dub is not. For console versions, the details of the respective platform store apply.

Alongside its destructible stages, ANTONBLAST features conspicuously large bosses. The levels allow different paces: those playing for best times use direct routes and the movement mechanics; those exploring more thoroughly can search for hidden areas and collectibles.

Satan has stolen Anton's spirit collection. The furious Dynamite Anton and his colleague Annie set off in pursuit. They receive support from Brulo, a casino owner who also has a score to settle with Satan. The story provides the framework for the unusually aggressive destruction platformer.

ANTONBLAST was developed by the studio Summitsphere. Steam lists Summitsphere, Joystick Ventures and Beep Japan Inc. as publishers. For the PlayStation edition, the store lists Joystick Ventures Publishing, LLC. The visual design combines hand-animated pixel art with comic-style exaggeration and fast sequences of movement.
