What happened to this game

>>713900734 (OP)
The pizza tower trannies on /v/ disallow talk of this game on here

>>713900734 (OP)
It released

>>713900734 (OP)
It was mediocre, so people stopped caring about it.

Try and have a thread without a single mention of... well that already happened now didn't it?

>>713900734 (OP)
it was ok and that's about it

I want to say it's great but I hate how the hammer drop and dash are the same button.

>>713900734 (OP)
It was alright. I never got the art book though for being a kickstarter...

You have a game that's a rips off crash and Wario Land with a design that looks like knock off Wario with a main villain that's basically red guy who farms ytp robuttnik jokes. This game has nothing going for it and isn't unique in the slightest. Tony is also a greedy bastard who constantly complains about not making money on the osts and telling people to not support unofficial uploads. He constantly begs people to buy antonball deluxe through shitty memes. He used to complain about not paying off his car payments. He only cares about money and not making an actually interesting game.

Got it on sale. It's OK
The biggest stumbling block is realizing that they don't intend for you to go fast, that's for PT. This is definitely more Wario World like and it's not against fucking you over.
I only cleared the first 'section', everything up to the Jewel Ghoul.
It's pretty alright is all I really have to say for it so far. I'm definitely feeling more frustrated at parts than I did with some other platformers.

>>713902430
If you mean Pizza Tower, then you can really blame the developer because all he did was launch himself into any post made by PTG and try to catch any good will at any point. It really seemed sort of desperate.

>>713903998
How did Grayson get away with it. More people should be up and arms about that

>>713905036
The Jewel Ghost hitting poses from the daffy duck meme is gonna date this game so hard.

>>713905148
>is gonna date this game so hard.
Its been a popular meme for a while. I don't think it necessarily dates it, as it's pretty timeless as far as references go, but yeah it does seem pretty jarring to see that out loud and proud with a meme.

>>713905148
even if the meme falls into obscurity, it'll still function on its own as funny poses, which isn't that outlandish in a game that's trying to be cartoony.

>>713903836
They actually fixed that in an update
i only know that because i went to check the game again and saw the update list
it's a fine game, and actually quite fun to 100%, but i just wish that fucking thing wasnt the icon for the game on steam
what the fuck is it and why is it still there Tony, you cunt

>>713906106
oh shit now it is a great game

>>713905036
>then you can really blame the developer because all he did was launch himself into any post made by PTG
They're best friends, retard. And it was Pig promoting Antonblast, not the other way around.

>>713906106
>what the fuck is it and why is it still there Tony
I think it's a riff on the old Naughty Dog mascot

>>713900734 (OP)
The lesser Pizza Tower.

>>713907138
>>713902430

I've exhausted this game front to back and I'm waiting for the last update to give it another playthrough, but I loved my time with it. Pizza Tower comparisons don't seem very apt since both games are going for different things, and a lot of people going into this expecting Pizza Tower 2 were very much not getting that. I'd complain about the soundtrack still not being out yet but it came out yesterday, only took six months.

I think that there should be more moles in games

>>713908107
i think there should be more dragons

>>713900734 (OP)
Unironically they should pitch a humble budget Crash game to Microsoft. Soundtrack was pure fanservice

>>713900734 (OP)
its cool but a better question would be how the fuck did pizza tower get so big

>>713912593
Streamers playing it.

>>713904098
Both this and Antonball are discounted during Steam sales, if you want actual greed look no further than Toby Fox selling an unfinished product for 30 dollaroos

>>713907154
PT and Antonblast only ever got compared because people have brainworms and see "cartoon platformer" and immediately assume it's the same thing. One's Looney Tunes Wario on crack, the other's more like if Wario World took a dive into GBA-cursed-territory aesthetics and cranky game design. The overlap starts and ends with "you break stuff." If anything, the backlash comes from people expecting a pizza and getting a questionable chili dog instead.

>>713914507
Also the fact that Deltarune has consistently been getting merchandise and promos whereas Summitsphere doesn't have any means of profit other than their games. They made back what they lost from the Florida hurricane, at least.

>>713900734 (OP)
it was ok. should have made it a full on pt clone cuz sometimes it can't decide if it wants to be that or wario land.
it also tried too hard to be memey.
same with the devs. it's fine to be zany and cartoony but shit like inserting the falling metal pipe sfx into the end cutscene is perhaps a bit too much.
it comes across as desperate, and now sad that the game wasn't a hit.
you gotta leave that stuff to the fans. hate bringing up pt again, but look how restrained it and pig were by comparison.

anyway i hope someone knows wtf im talking about and these just dont look like schizo ramblings

>>713912593
soul + attracts annoying children somehow

>>713912593
good hype management (2019 sage demo + constant drip of highly legible gameplay via socials) + right place/right time re: aesthetics (early-mid 90s cartoons)

>>713917195
>(early-mid 90s cartoons)
The visuals were actually inspired by French comics and Earthworm Jim.

Main dev said "trans rights!" and his game died

The pets have exactly one purpose

>>713917874
shoo shoo, brown

>>713918034
Nta, buts its true, also on that note, I'm glad Trump signed a bill to not fund trans surgeries with government money yesterday.

>>713918240
Buyers don't care about ancient joke tweets you have to actively dig to find, brown. Also off-topic.

>>713918375
unfortunately it does matter to the meme loving fucks here on /v/, hence the lack of threads up until now, compared to pizza tower

>>713918375
>Buyers don't care about ancient joke tweets you have to actively dig to find
Well yeah, it's old news now. But when the dev tweeted that after his game came out, it really impacted the sales then. Which has led to this thread existing in the first place. Moral of the story is don't get political even after your game releases.

>>713918742
Not really, PT threads are just as rare after non-canon waifuniggers killed all worthwhile discussion (and their own general), and the ones that do pop up have at least one "tranny game" post.

>>713900734 (OP)
i found it very nice. i wonder what summitsphere meant by this though.
https://youtu.be/FpHYQuLA76w?si=aWjk5YXmC7MeSyCQ
i doubt that it was to just tease the ost

>>713918858
he tweeted that in March 2021, well before the game's release, now go back

>>713919060
>he tweeted that in March 2021, well before the game's release
That's even worse, no wonder why the game sold horribly

>>713900734 (OP)
Speedrunners can't play 2 things at the same time. Games do not work like this

>>713919330
>sold horribly
turned a profit? also again, no one gave a shit then and only one or two wojakniggers give a shit now

>>713918950
i was talking about the first months of pt's release, there's barely any antonblast threads during the very same quantity of months here on /v/, and like or not, this shithole has "some" influence. the moment retards dug up the trans right post people would've refrained of buying the game for stupid reasons

>>713919414
>turned a profit? also again, no one gave a shit then
Yet this thread exists saying how horribly it sold and now one gives a shit about it. Only trannies defend this game it seems.

>>713900734 (OP)
>too easy to beat
>too hard to 100%
yep it's unplayable for me

>>713919754
>saying how horribly it sold
[citation needed]

the game is like 1/4 of the stream size, this feels fucking stupid

>>713919472
>this shithole has "some" influence
not really, "____ flopped" is a meme parroted for literally every game whether it's an indie or AAA

>>713916215
Speaking of which, I've seen kids whine about how they can't mod Pizzelle or Peppino or whatever into Antonblast (because it was compiled with YYC). Pretty based if intentional.

>>713921324
>compiled with YYC
what is that

>>713922657
YoYo Compiler, makes games easier to run at the expense of not being able to modify code

>>713900734 (OP)
Came out, played it, really enjoyed it, moved on and played other games. It's that simple, not every game is going to generate months of discussion. The only way this was gonna stick around was if autistic kids latched onto it to make slop like most other indies that hit it big.

>>713920793
all people are saying is basically that devs need to keep their traps SHUT about politics. look at toby fox. he only talks about the production of his game and it has worked wonders for discussion. we wouldn't be having this talk in every ab thread that pops up once in a blue moon if they didn't decide to appease to trannies. also those are not sales disingenuous faggot.
>>713924724
based sensible vidya enjoyer

>>713925441
>those are not sales disingenuous faggot
The other anon was implying that a meme tweet from early 2021 heavily impacted the success of a game that began funding a year later. In reality it made its goal twice over and turned enough of a profit for the studio to start on another project.

>>713925441
it got in /v/'s top 10 for 2024, the people trying to sabotage discussion are annoying but they don't make up as much of the threads as you think
Also why is 4chan sharting itself today

>>713900734 (OP)
Wariolike is too hyper specific of a genre to see 2 right next to eachother and think "both of these games were completely original ideas"

>>713901924
If anything is the reverse, the dev tried to attack pizza devs for not being pro tranny enough and then bent over opening wide for the train of popularity.

>>713921324
Pretty much everything made by them uses YYC (even early builds of Antonball).
The only exception being Annalynn because they only published it.

>>713926495
>fanfiction after fanfiction
Do you kids ever get tired of this

>>713926803
PT is a heckin' based chuderino game in his reality where one-third of the music (half of the reason to buy it) wasn't composed by a transsexual

Have you read the fucking reply thread you're butting into?

Haven't seen a game that tries to be as nausea inducing as this

>>713928964
>expenses related marketing
Indies really need to overthrow YouTubers. There's no reason to pay those guys for a sponsorship when they were already paid with a free vidya game.

>>713900734 (OP)
It was another Wario Land-like and did its job, sold well too even with Pizza Tower taking most of the hype for WaL-likes so not sure what the problem is. Not every game needs to be spoken about for months on end

Antonblast could have had more of its own niche as a more faithful Wario Land-like doing its own thing (as the game originally looked to be more of a spiritual successor instead of a WL-like) but the dev started doing too many literal copy pastes of too many mechanics from Crash and Pizza Tower so it turned into this weird WL-like game that's just a mishmash of a bunch of different things taped together.

Mix that with other literal copy paste things like Red Guy being AoStH Robotnik, and all the memes like literally me, overall make Antonblast lack any real identity of its own because it relies too hard on you noticing things from other pieces of media, laughing at that because it reminds you of [thing], and then you move on.
Like when you think of Red Guy, you don't think of the character itself, you just think of AoStH Robotnik, because Red Guy's character is way too reliant on you knowing the reference instead of being more of his own character that's a homage or has more of a loose reference.

Hope the dev makes a sequel that's more original and does its own thing instead of relying more on copy-pasting things from other pieces of media as that feels too close to ripoff territory instead of a homage or a tasteful use that's typical in "-like" games
He doesn't need to hide in Pizza Tower or Wario Land's shadow

>>713931959
If it's not 10K reviews, /v/ considers it a flop even if the dev got all the money back. Getting trounced by pic related isn't a good feeling.
