1:11:33 Just gotta let everyone know, the audio here is completely unedited, this sound effect actually plays in the game, and it's the best choice they could've made
There's an awesome hand-drawn 2D metroidvania that's likewise colorful and rather cartoon/comic-book like, where the lead dev said the protagonist was in part meant to be like a female Wario. Inspired by punk girls he saw at raves and concerts in the squat in Italy. "They were cool, they could kick your _ss and they were always drunk and upset and lovely." It's called Cookie Cutter. Very solid game, can warmly recommend. Gets bizarre and out-there, so it's definitely not for everybody, but it doesn't constantly undermine itself and the story can be more serious. Was made with love and there's more planned.
I love the fact that Anton and Danton have completey opposite ways of solving problems. Danton tries fixing it with a hammer and nail and Anton just blows stuff up
I love that the dev for this and pizza tower helped boost each others games and drawing them making out which went viral obviously. Very cool they both decided to go the rising tides raise all boats route and be cool to each other given how both their games were warioland style homage games demoing around same time
31:11 I have never ran into this devil scene anywhere else but in this video. I think Satan himself came out to ask Choc personally if those were, indeed, real.
Pizza Tower and AntonBlast being incredibly similar to each other, supporting each other during development, and both of the games to ending up absolutely fantastic... it's just been neat.
The sound design is great, but it does feel like some audio is missing from cutscenes and some parts of the game. You notice how the Fake Elevator doesn’t have sound effects in The Big Bath but does have sound effects in Hell Manor? -Or how when Anton/Annie snack Satan in the face with the giant hammer it’s completely silent? Thought that was a little weird, maybe it’s a bug.
@@jk1ill0n62to be fair if you’re judging off this video he’s playing on like 4 separate versions at least throughout the video, the shop changes slightly at different parts and before he plays Hell Manor he says the game has officially released
Fun fact: it is heavily implied in promotional material that Anton is Amy Rose's Father and it does make sense to some degree his weapon is a hammer and he's divorced Edit: also there's official art out there of Anton and Peppino making out (I'm not joking)
don't know if anyone's said it yet, but the "dad's suit" skin is based off of crash and the "mom's dress" skin is based off of wario. i can only imagine this meant to imply that anton is an unholy lovechild of an evil plumber and a bandicoot.
The animation is pure beauty. Hell, even the lack of animation is amazing, I always love Anton's enter door animation. I do NOT regret backing this game. They blew my expectations sky high!
14:38 nope! based on the old CGA displays of very early personal computers, that could only display a small palette of predefined colors! before the time of even microsoft windows! look it up on wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit!
Choctopus I just wanted to say that you are my top gaming creator that I watched this year on UA-cam!! You are at number 1 man!! Thank you so much for all that you do on here!! It’s that time of year again folks where UA-cam wrapped happens!! ❤🎮
Fun fact: both creators of Pizza Tower and Anton Blast have said that if Peppino and Anton were to meet, they'd be gay for each other! (According to my friend at least)
The devil of thos game is like if the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Red Guy from Cow and Chicken had a kid that spent all of his time at Dads. Only the magic mirror, being a leader of a kingdom, and wanting to be the best of one physical trait came from Mom.
For the fourth thing, you could have mentioned Cow and Chicken, as that show is something this game reminds me a lot of. Also, the way the cutscenes are animated reminds me of some old point and click adventure games.
I didn't expect this game to have a Kingdom Heats reference, and I certainly didn't expect them to have FIVE. No colors, but there are several room names. Boiler City has Dream Drop Distance and Final Mix(er). And the Glasshouse has Simple and Clean, Face My Fears, and Sanctuary. The last three being the names of the main themes for KH 1, 3, and 2 in that order.
I get why this would be assumed otherwise, but two of the bossbusters are canonically female (Smallbuster and Maulbuster), based on the "Helpful Mole Gender Guide" by JB Long, a developer of the game (and Brulo actor).
I would've bought bought this Game day one but I had to save money for Christmas and December 20th for Sonic movie 3. Props to the devs great work to them and good video Mr. Choctopus.
SPOILERS AHEAD, THREAD CAREFULLY: So, when Satan said no one was allowed to be the reddest in the world, I thought he'd just try blowing Anton up, not... not the world itself. I guess it makes sense, if there's no world, no one can be the reddest in it.
The color you get from the final level says "I'm turning evil! You are not my friends anymore!" in the description and this game is an 11/10 just from that alone
What i want to make is the first Wariolike Metroidvania, besides there would be some non mandatory Challenges known as Delivery Dashes, where you must return a key to a chest before the time runs out. I'll make it cool i guess. Even have the plot be like that you play as a Patient in a Mysterious Future Phych ward with some secrets unknown to many...

Im not there yet but if this is by some miracle referring to the metal pipe sound i 1000% agree
Real shit, I actually busted out laughing when I heard it, in a "there's no fucking way that's the sound they chose" kinda way
I did not think they would go that far but goddamn 😂
First Pizza Tower and now this. Wario has been a huge inspiration for indie games.
Spookware was before both :y

Wario Land + Wario Land equated to this game
*Wario points to Anton and Peppino*
Wario: These are-a my boys!
Nintendo: doesn't want to make a new warioland game
Tour de pizza and Summitsphere: fine, I'll do it myself
I read the 2nd bit in Satan's voice.
satan is just advetures eggman
@@Polar_Pyro_YT21did you like it and how accurate was it
Now if we could get the two of them to collaborate...
I love the fact that Anton and Danton have completey opposite ways of solving problems. Danton tries fixing it with a hammer and nail and Anton just blows stuff up
So... basically Wreck it Ralph and Fix it Felix
Anton uses a hammer alright
10:00 I adore the fact that Anton tells you that the pit was, indeed, not good

Very cool they both decided to go the rising tides raise all boats route and be cool to each other given how both their games were warioland style homage games demoing around same time
I think the creators are both decent friends too, but idk
Literally makes me cackle that shipping them together was like used as a tactic to keep fans from hating on each other 💀

@@Choctopus Yo
@@Choctopus O_O*
Got a sauce for that art
By the way it's not fanart it's like official post by Summitsphere and Mr. sauceman
CGAnton is a reference to CGA graphics; the way some old computers would display colors. It even removes the more complex shading on Anton's sprites.

Sometimes a family can be an anthro bandicoot, a greedy garlic man, and their angry red son.
@@SoulHero7Or a psychopathic bunny, a detective dog, and a reptile they found in the toilet.
@@MakusinMeringue Sam and Max?!
7:27 here we see danton in his natural habitat, fucking dying.
also the mole enemies are officially called ballbusters due to antonball deluxe
0:52 at least he's honest.I respect that.
"I just gotta read this ad rq cuz they gave me a free headset"
Hell, I'd do the same tbh. I love free stuff. I mean, WHO DOESN'T LIKE FREE STUFF?
The animation is pure beauty. Hell, even the lack of animation is amazing, I always love Anton's enter door animation.
I do NOT regret backing this game. They blew my expectations sky high!
32:15 The part of the level is called Cavern Catastrophe which is a Crash Twinsanity reference of the level with the same name.
Good taste of the developers
the sound of Anton hitting the ground with the hammer and then spinning in the air tickles my monkey brain a lot
21:55 it... didn't just do the Zoot suit daffy stance
It heckin did lol
YES. HE. DID.
33:06 No, that’s AntonBall Classic
Have been waiting to get the crash bandicoot skin “dads suit” from the shop for days (its random) and this guy gets it for his first shop visit LUCKY
Lmao is that what it was?!
@ yep one of the devs was a crash speedrunner so there is a lot of influence and sound effects from crash in the game
And Annie's version of the skin looks like Nina Cortex
My favorite is "Mom's Dress", which gives you Wario's modern colors. I haven't gotten that one yet though but that's pretty cool
@@aratherlargerodentwait so is anton crash and wario’s unholy lovechild
“Who the hell is Greg” literally a minute after meeting a guy who matches his exact description
20:18 Now he truly is (Dynamite) Anton Blast
50:24 OH MY GOD, ITS THE “I’M IN THE HOUSE LIKE CARPET” MEME SONG FROM PERSONA
Check it out im the house
Like carpet
Toby Fox forever ruined this song for me due to his antics on bluesky
Gianni Matrigrano ABSOLUTELY was the best choice for a VA that Summitsphere could make.
Lemme guess: he voices Satan.
Correct
@@Polar_Pyro_YT21as if Gabriel ultrakill didn't already have issues now his VA has betrayed him 😂😂😂
Ya he was!! I love his voice acting
14:38 nope! based on the old CGA displays of very early personal computers, that could only display a small palette of predefined colors! before the time of even microsoft windows!
look it up on wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit!
11:16 i mean anton is already getting lead poisoning from that paint you slathered him in
FINALLY!!! A youtuber who dosent compare antonblast to pizza tower in the videos title
Fun fact: annie is playable in this game, you change to her through the ladies bathroom door.
At last, now everyone will know about Anton's blasts and balls.
Choctopus I just wanted to say that you are my top gaming creator that I watched this year on UA-cam!! You are at number 1 man!! Thank you so much for all that you do on here!! It’s that time of year again folks where UA-cam wrapped happens!! ❤🎮
1:09:40 yo that’s Giygas in the background! Didn’t think this game would reference Earthbound.
Can't wait for you to finish Pizza Tower that game is still fantastic
Still? It’s always been fantastic
Eyepatch,still means that it's still fantastic in the present time,it doesn't disapprove it or anything.
Gonna let you know that there is in fact a shadow the hedgehog spray can
Fun fact: both creators of Pizza Tower and Anton Blast have said that if Peppino and Anton were to meet, they'd be gay for each other! (According to my friend at least)
2:58 that’s what IM saying!
27:08 Fyrus playing crab game
My god, at 21:54 the Jewel Ghoul is hitting the Zoot Suit Daffy Duck meme pose. That has me cackling.
They know what people are gonna get drawn to this game, and i am HERE FOR IT
We need more of these games
22:27
"How many PUFFS man?!"
this is DEFINITELY something Anton would say during his fight with Jewel Ghoul XD
The devil of thos game is like if the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Red Guy from Cow and Chicken had a kid that spent all of his time at Dads. Only the magic mirror, being a leader of a kingdom, and wanting to be the best of one physical trait came from Mom.
bro plays antonbalst before he can complete pizza tower
42:41
YES PLEASE

Gotta feed the starving beasts somehow. Would play it if i got back into steam gaming for more than a few exceptions
Switch port release at December 13th

How did you beat the game. WITH 3 HP?!

I didn’t realize this had come out, I’ll have to pick it up once finals week is over. I played the two levels in the Switch demo for almost 5 hours
6:57
Oh my god, its Kingdom Hearts.
Like dream drop distinct

Bro sent the dragon to Brazil 💀💀
The thumbnail art is crazyyyyy AWESOME🔥🔥🔥
One of the actual ANTONBLAST artists!
@Choctopus It goes so hard🔥🔥🔥
42:40 Sure man
4:49 And thats how the plot of Beavis and Butt-Head do America was born.
I get why this would be assumed otherwise, but two of the bossbusters are canonically female (Smallbuster and Maulbuster), based on the "Helpful Mole Gender Guide" by JB Long, a developer of the game (and Brulo actor).
I finally got the joke at 36:10
YOU GOING TO BRAZIL.
Reminder that its canon that Anton is Amy Rose's dad, imagine Amy introducing Sonic to Anton
I would've bought bought this Game day one but I had to save money for Christmas and December 20th for Sonic movie 3. Props to the devs great work to them and good video Mr. Choctopus.
Erm... What the blast?!
GET OU-
Did choc pick WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIO
This game also reminds me of Jazz Jackrabbit because of the music and cartoony sound effects. Love that game from my childhood
31:33 Am I the only one who thinks of the Bandifish enemy from Crash 3 when I see this AntonFish
4:01
It’s da good stuff.
Tis BOOZE.
Yeah it's full on alcohol
6:23 This is my first watch, I know it’s going to be the third level. Stupid Cinnamon Springs.
SPOILERS AHEAD, THREAD CAREFULLY:
So, when Satan said no one was allowed to be the reddest in the world, I thought he'd just try blowing Anton up, not... not the world itself. I guess it makes sense, if there's no world, no one can be the reddest in it.
It’s beautiful crash bandicoot is mentioned in AntonBlast by having him painted on a wall during a level!
Truly Crash’s successor!
Ah, perfect, I just finished the game today :)
The color you get from the final level says "I'm turning evil! You are not my friends anymore!" in the description and this game is an 11/10 just from that alone

33:06 thats antonball classic. The origin of Anton
29:48 this joke is based on a graffiti that appears in l4d2 i think
This game looks like what my brain feels like, and I can't elaborate any further than saying my smooth grey matter has a crunchy texture.
I love this💕
I love the thumbnail art
IT'S HAPPY HOUR!
THE PIZZA TOWER SERIES IS COMING BACK YESSS-
Anton dropped that dragon thing on Brazil
"Pinball Mines..."
[1 second of no video]
[cuts to Anton getting screen KOd]
1:10:39 BEAT THE CHEEKS
I have to give some credit to the thumbnail designer because Wario looks perfect Anton blast art style.
As a huge Wario fan, I'm happy to see Wario Land having such a big impact on the indie scene😊
Finally, that... Macaroni skyscraper or something, can move aside, sinc the REAL game entered steams layer!
Just finished this game as soon as the video finished, I can confirm it's a blast
It is astounding how this man hasn’t gotten 1 mil yet

anton is the new warioland wario, peppino, sure, he's cartoonish, but he isn't a drunk guy
The devil is sexiest character the voice actor as played 1000%
