ANTONBLAST

ANTONBLAST has the sound of a loud, destructive action game, and that is usually the appeal of this kind of project: fast movement, big hits, and levels built around breakage rather than caution. By our assessment, that can be a strong fit for players who want momentum more than polish. The obvious risk is that a game built on noise and speed can feel thin if its stages do not give the player enough variety between explosions and sprints. In practice the texture should be kinetic and direct, with less time spent thinking than reacting. It belongs beside other aggressive indie action games, and its success depends on whether the chaos is readable instead of just busy.
