Antonblast is a 2024 platform game developed by indie video game studio Summitsphere and published by Joystick Ventures. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the full game was released on December 3, 2024, for Microsoft Windows, with a Nintendo Switch version later released on December 13. A Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 release for the game is set for 2026. It is the second installment in the Anton series after Antonball Deluxe. The story follows the crass alcoholic demolitions expert: Dynamite Anton and his coworker, Dynamite Annie as they set out to recover Anton's collection of spirits stolen by Satan's mole army of "Ballbusters". Satan commanded his army to steal Anton's spirits out of jealousy that Anton is redder than him. The player controls either Anton or Annie throughout 12 side-scrolling levels. At the end of every level, an escape sequence is activated and the player must travel back to the beginning within a time limit, in order to complete the level.
