    EDIT:
    I made a second channel response video regarding the Antonblast criticism that I received: ua-cam.com/video/PLxIQgau0Mc/v-deo.html
    I also re-edited the review regarding said criticism: ua-cam.com/video/9IqNL3Og9C8/v-deo.html
    ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
    Regarding the Antonblast segment of the video, it seems like a lot of mega fans of the game took it to heart, which I can respect. My goal wasn't to compare it to Pizza Tower 1:1, but I understand it did came a bit over like that, and I should've had a better way to express my thoughts.
    I did enjoy the game quite a bit, thus why I gave the game a B-tier (which I consider to be good). Yes, I do think it's fun and it has some snazzy qualities.
    I can also see myself bumping it up to an A-tier if some of the issues I have with it get fixed. The devs already made a lot of fixes since release, so I can definitely see it happen.
    I was planning on jumping back into Antonblast and 100%ing it anyhow so I might do a follow up video on my 2nd channel once I'm done with that, and I'll try to express my opinions better and without comparing it to Pizza Tower as much.
    I think any criticism towards my videos/channel is fair even if you just want to insult me, I welcome it all with open arms since I really do want to improve the stuff I put online.

      @@Dusterr the problem with said problems are that they are kinda similar in pizza tower, for example:
      the hammer jump problem is almost as the same as running up in every wall in PT
      the "i cant see what the hell is happening here" is like trying to go mach 4 for the first time in PT (but i have to agree that you cant see anything in the blimp section of antonblast)
      at the end of the day both games are really different and i think the problem most of the people had is the unfair comparison

    Comparing antonblast to pizza tower is unfair since both are based on wario land 4 and pizza tower focuses on speed and movement mechanics from wario land while antonblast focuses on the combat and plataforming from wario land, so playing antonblast expecting pizza tower speedy gameplay is kinda unfair.

      How is this the only point you're focusing on,
      He did compare the two, but I just don't see how his only point is
      A- he mentioned that both games are inspired by the same game.
      B-he mentioned that both games are similar
      So, a + b = his argument is that it's pizza tower 2
      That was less of a point and more of a comparison to link the games together. The two games are constantly being compared because of similar gameplay by the fans, but when someone points out the flaws in the game, they refute it because of an unimportant point 💔
      This is just pure, no doubt in my mind, nutpicking fallacy 😔

      True, as much as I like Foekoe’s content, his Antonblast review was honestly unfair, not only because of the game suffering a lot from stupid "Pizza Tower copy" claims, but also because Pizza Tower and Antonblast are going for two different things, Pizza Tower is about speed, Antonblast is about exploration. Him saying that "Pizza Tower did the Wario Land concept better" is honestly just really weird, Pizza Tower barely feels like a Wario Land game outside of Pizza Time, transformations and other mechanics, most of Pizza Tower is brand new things introduced to the Wario Land formula and that is great, but Antonblast is insanely more faithful to it’s inspiration, just by the controls itself, the larger focus on exploration for big point rewards and a lot more, so i will say Antonblast did the Wario Land formula better because it has a lot of Wario Land inspiration while also feeling lile a whole new thing.

    Honestly maybe you would've enjoyed Antonblast more if you didn't just keep comparing it with Pizza Tower - but even then, I think a lot of the problems you mentioned also exists in PT. I also found the hammer bounce problem to be weird to get used to at first, then got used to it later where it clicks really well - BUT - this is also like almost exactly like Pizza Tower, no? Accidental running, accidental walljumps, accidental dash jumps off of a cliff, all because the controls are hard to master, but ended up being very worth after learning.
    Pinball Mire honestly didn't bother me too much, maybe if you're doing time trial it can be frustrating though, I can kinda get that, but Pizza Tower also has some stages that are kinda ehhh or just straight up annoying. Looking at you, Peppibot Factory.

    I have had arguments about these things with many people and it drives me insane.
    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk isn’t a worse Jet Set Radio, AntonBlast isn’t a worse Pizza Tower, Terraria isn’t a worse Minecraft, Metal Gear Solid 3 isn’t a worse Hitman (how tf did someone even make that comparison with a straight face).
    My point is, your criticism of AntonBlast being a worse Pizza Tower is just wrong in every way, it’s nothing like Pizza Tower and trying to compare it as such is just a strawman argument.

  • @JonathonDixon-bn7xe
    @JonathonDixon-bn7xe Місяць тому +52

    Honestly, I feel that AntonBlast really does a good job at being distinct from Pizza Tower. They are similar, but are hardly the same.
    Pizza Tower is somewhat faster paced than AntonBlast. You pass pretty much everything as you pass through the level, so you don't miss too much. AntonBlast on the other hand has goodies shoved into every nook and cranny. This game really encourages exploration. This is literally shown to you the moment you start the first level, since if you do a hammer jump on where you land when you start broiler city, you reveal a bounce pad to launch you back into Anton's house.
    I would also say AntonBlast is a bit more brutal in terms of the escape sequence. Pizza tower gives you tons of time so you can do all the stuff like secrets, lap 2 and leaves room for error. Anton blast gives you quite a bit of time, but considering how big the levels are, that can be brutal. That, and it can also limit backtracking quite a bit. Pizza tower sometimes just straight up let's you back track through the entire level either manually or with lap 2. In AntonBlast, most times have one shot to get things during Happy Hour to get collectables or you miss them due to the area getting destroyed or becoming inaccessible to you.
    Not to mention how AntonBlast honestly requires you to be a bit more careful and think about more than Pizza Tower. In Pizza Tower, you kind of just charge through everything like a bullet train in the midst of a panic attack. While Anton can charge through everything like Peppino, he actually can't hold his boost. If Anton doesn't have his boost button spammed, he won't run as fast as he can. That, and while Peppino gains speed over time, Anton gets speed from timing his boosts. Not to mention that Anton can actually be hurt. Unlike Peppino, getting hit can actually get you killed. In Pizza Tower, Peppino had unlimited heath in normal levels, with getting hit only lowering your combo and point count. In AntonBlast, Anton can actually die in levels, which encourages you to be more careful instead of charging in headfirst. And while I know that wouldn't make sense in a game where you are meant to just bash into everything, but without stuff like this, the game can become boring and mind numbing. Pizza Tower avoids this since it mixes things up with power ups that switch up gameplay, new foes who can counter your skills and make you think of more effective ways to fight them, and levels that just straight up take gameplay and flip on it's head such as GOLF, Don't Make A Souund, Gnome Forest, ect.
    Overall, I would say that AntonBlast does a great job at what it wants to do. It may have issues, but they're still pretty niche, which I feel says a lot about this games quality.

      That is a horrible way of comparing both and that only shows how both are nothing alike. Pizza Tower goes for a more Rubber Rose Style with modern Elements while AntonBlast style is 90s Saturday cartoon style.

    The thing I’m sort of sad about the Antonblast reviews is that people continue to try to fit a square peg in a round hole with the comparisons. Besides sharing an inspiration and a few mechanics, Pizza Tower and the Blast don’t share much, with the former on speed, sonic style, and the latter on exploration and destruction, crash style. It wasn’t really necessary to mention the pizza as much besides for the first few jokes.
    Also, some of the complaints, such as the clutch and hammer being mapped to the same button, and the massive amount of destruction on screen are sort of the point, so I don’t exactly know how you would “fix” it. Mastering it is intended.

    I agree that AntonBlast has a few issues (I play on Switch and the slowdown on launch was pretty yikes), but comparing it to Pizza Tower when both games have differing objectives is a tad disingenuous. AntonBlast isn’t trying to BE Pizza Tower or Wario Land 4, it’s trying to be its own combat-based take on Crash Bandicoot, DKCR, and Wario Land 3/4. Pizza Tower focuses moreso on the speed whereas AntonBlast focuses moreso on the exploration aspects and destruction of the level. Not mentioning the incredible mixed media employed via some of the characters and bosses is especially a miss.
    I do agree though Pinball Mire is not my favorite level by a longshot, and the hammer flip does trip me up often but I’ve been learning to better control it as I’ve progressed. I like doing clean 100% sweeps of levels and am a huge fan of red/chartreuse so it’s right up my alley personally. I highly recommend it to anybody reading this if only so you can experience Big Bath for the first time.

It features retro-style graphics, but has aspects from more modern games such as physics props and set-pieces similar to Half Life. Gameplay is pretty solid and designed to be fair, with enemy attacks being clearly telegraphed for example. The game's arsenal features vintage weapons like a Mauser C96 and a China Lake. The soundtrack is John Carpenter-esque, and there's even a level (Interlude) that is similar in premise to John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. If you're unsure that you'd like it, CULTIC has a free demo that lets you play the first level.

    I hate that you just kept comparing Antonblast to Pizza Tower. These two games couldn't be more different from each other. Antonblast leans more into Crash games, while Pizza Tower leans towards Wario Land games. The only thing that makes them similar is the fact that they require you to backtrack to the start to finish the level and that they have transformations.
    Also it makes you sound like an entitled brat when you said "multiple delays" when the game only really had 1 delay and it was because they were in the middle of a hurricane dude. Pay some respect. The other delay being specifically for the Switch version since that was still in the process of being approved. I usually like your content, but man this was just not it. The whole Antonblast review just felt rushed in general. I hope you take the criticism others are saying and apply it to your next video.

  • @Jontohil2
    @Jontohil2 Місяць тому +13

    Having played Antonblast as well, I get a sense that the game was mostly
    playtested by its own developers and not other people. The few levels the public did get to play in the forms of the free demos improved significantly in the final release, especially the first level, the clutter was way worse in the first demo. So clearly they listen to feedback well, they just needed more opportunities to get it.
    As a game dev you become very familiar with your own game, so in playtesting it you may not notice issues like clutter, difficulty spikes or poorly pace tutorials.

    Kinda funny seeing people dunk on this guy for being bad at Antonblast. A lot of issues he brings up can simply be fixed with practice and level memorization. Antonblast actually reminds me a lot of Cuphead in that they draw heavily from the more challenging routes of their inspirations. Anton specifically reminded me a lot of Crash Bandicoot in how it's levels and platforming require precision and timing in order to keep your speed going, which in turn take a lot of skill to get consistently good at.
    He's really trying to play the game as though it were "Pizza Tower 2" or something, which is not how you should really be playing. You'll only be setting yourself up for disappointment like that because, well, ANTONBLAST IS NOTHING LIKE PIZZA TOWER. And the face-slap comparisons he made to Pizza Tower were just frustrating and hard to watch. Put some respect on Antonblast and all the unique ideas and gameplay that it has to offer, instead of trying to view it in the lenses of a game which is completely different in the goals it sets out to achieve.
    Good video, I enjoyed the writing and editing, but oh boy, the Anton segment was strange!

    I'm not going to repeat what other people have already said, I'll just say this: it's _wild_ that you said most of the bosses aren't fun to play when they're one of the best parts of the game for me. I can understand not liking most of the Bossbusters, but the main bosses are so much fun.

    i haven’t finished antonblast at the moment though i do agree with a lot of that section, but comparing it to pizza tower so heavily was a little lame, reminds me of that original nine sols video title a bit
    i mean obviously it’s relevant because they’re both cut from the same cloth, and i’m not trying to say it was meant in bad faith and that you’re EVIL for thinking they’re similar, but it does kinda do the game a disservice by comparing it to something people are more familiar with and saying that it’s basically that
    both games have their own issues and such direct comparisons kinda muddies the water on how detrimental some of those issues are to its differed formula, i’d personally say that pizza tower also has annoying slippery precise platforming sections, it’s just that you feel it with a few of the transformations instead of on a few janky platforms while doing vertical platforming
    anyway i don’t really have some pretentious way to end this really long comment that nobody is gonna read, i’m not really mad or anything i was just trying to articulate the reason to why i think direct game comparisons can be interpreted in an unfair way sometimes, so now you can go on with your life with the newfound knowledge of some random guy’s two cents i guess
