Appropriately enough, given that Anton and Annie are demolitionists, Antonblast is a wild deconstruction of other platformers, one that throws caution to the wind to maximum effect. Though each of the game’s 12 levels is stacked with secret passages and collectables, the jagged, psychotic art style (which happily brings edgy animation like Ren & Stimpy to mind) and reckless, momentum-building hammer swings make the whole endeavor feel like a gloriously uncontrolled demolition where anything can and likely will happen.

Within the game’s first five minutes, Dynamite Anton is targeted by none other than Satan, who uses a magic mirror to determine who’s “the reddest in all the land.” Satan steals Anton’s spirits (read: alcohol) to lure him out, and in return, Anton goes about smashing everything in sight. Things start off relatively straightforward, with Anton dodging wrecking balls and explosive crates, before Antonblast defaults to winningly riffing on the platformers of yore.
