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.
I felt the anton segment was perfectly fine. Having mostly fair critiques and comparing it to pizza tower (a very similar game) as a reference point helped illustrate the point that the game is great but has a few flaws that hold it back from being a masterpiece.
Saying "My goal wasnt to compare it to pizza tower 1:1" then starting your anton blast segment with "It doesnt even come close to the genius of pizza tower" is such insane backpedaling
The Mouthwashing community gaining a reputation as one of the worst communities despite the game being barely into a year of it's run is actually insane
Shout out to india for making such titles like mouthwashing, undertale and other hits. And also dealing with toxic fans, fandom and hatedom, that shit must be tiring
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.
@@БагакашвилиМлхазthis is important to remember, they both reference each others games IN their own games, so these 2 games being similar or compared isn’t a bad thing at all
it still pisses me off how many people there are that look at indie games and just think "Yeah never heard about it, pass" and then go play the newest AAA slop.
Its unfortunate how many people think the other way around too. Indie has slop AAA has slop. Indie has great games AAA has great games. People act like its so one-sided when it really isn't.
@@technoboop1890 It's way more prevalent in AAA tho. name one indie slop that came out this year (that isn't banban, the best game ever made). even then you could probably name three other AAA slop for every bad indie.
yea... personally a bit tired of them being compared when they aim for different gameplay and story by a lot. the only part that is all that similar are the ones based on the inspiration of wario land 4. it's not aiming to be a pizza tower 2 it's aiming to be it's own thing.
Going into Antonblast already comparing into Pizza Tower feels kind of disingenuous. Yes, they are similar and share influences, but theyre still such different games that going in with those expectations feels like you're setting it up to be underwhelming. Also, Pinball Mire slander is ridiculous, it's SERIOUSLY not that bad.
I honestly feel like the game came out too early. Many people,me included, are still into Pizza tower, so we base our opinion of how good pizza tower is, ignoring that Antonblast is its own game. That being said, Anton blast does feel slow to me, for some reason
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.
The AntonBlast section is horridly made, it literally has NOTHING to do with Pizza Tower and you talk about it for the whole section when it is about AntonBlast. It feels disingenuous to the devs who worked on it.
Overall the time spent talking about antonblast was longer than pizza tower and comparing the two games is completely valid imo, as they both have a wacky cartoon art style fast paced, messy and wario land 4 inspired.
@tubemash3772 > comparing the two games is completely valid imo Not. Both to take surface level inspiration from WL4 but they are nothing alike comparing both is like comparing apples 2 oranges. > as they both have a wacky cartoon art style fast paced, messy and wario land 4 inspired 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. > fast paced, messy and wario land 4 inspired. Being fast paced and take inspiration WL4 does not equal pizza tower. Pizza Tower is more like a love letter to WL4 while AntonBlast feels more like a straight up sequel > Overall the time spent talking about antonblast was longer than pizza tower me when i make video about antonblast and only mention pizza tower through the whole thing:
For real, the music is ALL incredible. I can’t think of a single track that I haven’t hummed to myself at least once. Idle Hands is a certified hood classic.
Calling Antonblast "Pizza Tower 2" because they both took inspiration from Wario Land is like if people called Omori "Undertale 2" because they both took inspiration from Mother
this review of antonblast felt more like a pizza tower review ngl. bro even the lead dev on antonblast said it was one sided like damn 💀it wasnt supposed to be a follow up to pizza tower…I am not mad he didn’t like antonblast I’m mad that he was yapping abt pizza tower
Look, It’s really disheartening that the whole section about Antonblast is barely anything about the game but only comparing it to Pizza Tower, I really love pt but You gotta understand that these games are completely different! Sure, they borrow the same inspo but comparing them cut and dry is so disingenuous. Also being bad at the game is not valid criticism 😗
Yeah he did antonblast kinda dirty... is sad seing almost no one playing antonblast since the release i am expecting the big youtubers, nintendo youtubers and also people that played pizza tower tower to check anton but no one seams to give a shit and only is being compared as a pizza tower crash grab.
@guilhermenascimento9125At least it has sold at least 1 Antonillion copies. Also hopefully this can help Anton’s community from taking some of the hits the PT community did.
@guilhermenascimento9125 its just fucking unfair. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS GAME IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL!?!??!?! IT MUST BE A DIRECT ONE TO ONE RIPOFF OF ANOTHER GAME EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE EXECUTED COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY!!!!"
hey tony and mcpig really do not appreciate comparisons like that im glad you enjoyed the game though and gave your honest opinions ! however these guys worked so hard at their own games on their own time and are vastly different titles ! they share a same passion and keep good graces with each other so please dont pit these two guys together . you can always map the controllers to your liking or join the discord for anything ! the team is always looking out for criticism and what not . i wont say much but thats all ! thanks for the words !
If you're gonna talk about Antonblast, please don't immediately compare it to Pizza Tower. Both games are inspired by Wario Land 4, but each one focuses on a key aspect of the franchise that makes both games stand out from each other.
Honestly, that ANTONBLAST section was just unfair,the whole thing just comes down to a "skill issue"(and I hate using that buzzword)You can cancel the hammer clutch by hitting the button twice in the air or by holding the crouch button to make it go down faster.The trash goblins are easy to catch when you corner them,just jump when they jump and it's done,Pinball mire is chaotic,sure.But other than that i don't get what you're upset about???Also you just didn't elaborate on how the bosses weren't fun,they're far better than Pizza Tower's bosses in quality.(Also also,the game began development before Pizza Tower)
Yeah he didnt cook at all honestly he needs to make a proper review video because what i got from this is pizza tower better. I really want to understand his problems because he praised nothing about the game and just yap about his problems and pizza tower the entire time.
Hey that Antonblast part is not great you spend more time talking about Pizza Tower than Anton blast. Were Antonblast plays alot more closely to Wario land 4
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. ....That being said, Cinnamon Springs deserves to die.
>play these indie games instead >spends a good chunk of the Antonblast segment complaining about game design they don’t understand If you are struggling THIS badly with Antonblast then you’re actually just expecting a hard game to hold your hand.
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.
Yeah, Mysterious Glasshouse deserves much, much more hate. Between the leaves, the demon clouds, the carnivorous platforms, the fish, and those ANNOYING AS HELL THORNS, it’s the worst part of the game.
honestly its not even pinball mire that is the issue, the actual issue is the pinball mechanic, if it didnt exist or were to be remade, the level would be so much more enjoyable
3:24 If you liked Moutwashing you should definetly check out it's prequel: How Fish is made (by the same devs). It's weird and trippy as hell and I recommend it if you like weird ass games
I played a bit of Antonblast, is good, but dont compare it to Pizza Tower (Sonic + Wario) this is Crash + Wario, its good in its own different way, so full of life and expressions, so much variety, i recomend you all give it a try, the dev is a sweetheart of a person and its working hard to fix a crash on Switch, that aside he keeps marketing the game and sometimes gives free keys, tell others about the game, give others keys of the game SUPPORT PASSIONATED DEVS
Pizza Tower isnt Sonic + Wario The only sonic inspired things in PT are the slopes and the sewers level The speed aspect is based on jazz jackrabbit instead
Gaming isnt "dead" or "boring" people are just dead bored by AAA games (most of them are actually good to point to) for the rest of my life ive seen myself only playing indie titles and loving it. To the point i 100% them.
Any indie games that you would want to recommend and see be more talked about? For me it's stuff like: Cookie Cutter, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Loco Motive, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Magenta Horizon, Kraino Rebirth, Zet Zillions, Genokids, My Familiar, Decline's Drops, PRIM, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Midnight Walk, Judero, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Bad Boro, Promise Mascot Agency, Resistor, No Straight Roads, Soulstice... and there's so many more cool ones. Admittedly there's a few that are more on the level of AA-- Soulstice for example makes me think of Darksiders in production value and is in the same genre of character action/hack-and-slash. And it's no less worth talking about like the others. Hope this list gives some interesting titles for you!
@jurtheorc8117 I'll try and grab some of them when a good steam sale comes. But for more games I would absolutely recommend and wanted to be more talked about are definitely Cuphead Neon abyss (this one especially) Pizza tower
Another one to add I'd say would be Laika: Aged Through Blood. It was made by the guys who did Friends vs Friends. It's a Metroidvania where you ride around on a bike and have to reload by doing backflips on it. The music, story, charecters are all so surprisingly filled with so much depth for how "simple" the gameplay is. Lord knows it had me crying by the end of it.
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. But yeah, pinball mire and those trash goblins can go to hell.
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.
Joycon drift is still very much a thing. I learned that from how long it took me on Cinnamon springs (the moving platforms), Tallbuster’s fight (I fell into the water at the very end like 3 times and died), and the Mysterious Glasshouse (pretty much everything in this level is an ordeal)
for a guy who makes a living off talking about indie games it’d expect you to respect antonblast as its own thing instead of the entire section basically boiling down to ”this is like pizza tower but not”
Alright I’m disliking this video because you cannot seriously look at a game and say “this game is mid because it’s not like this other, completely different game.” 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.
One thing i agree about Antonblast is that, sometimes, the movement feels a bit too slippery (The Antithesis room in Hell's manor is the bane of my existence). The rest is a skill issue
Honestly you were too harsh on Antonblast in this one. It's not trying to be Pizza Tower, it just happens to take inspiration from the same game, just taking it in a different direction Also Pinball Mire isn't that bad
Who clicked on this video because Antonblast was on it? Too bad it was nothing but slander, comparing this game to Pizza Tower, and recommending it without giving valid reasons. It felt more like he was reviewing Pizza Tower than Antonblast when they give way more different experiences. He doesn't even mention the story, which is simple, but still likable! Hell, there's little to no references to PT in Antonblast! The only one I can think of is that getting CRACKED is like getting a P-rank. I haven't played PT, but I have played Antonblast and beat the main game and am on my way to 100% it. The other to reviews were alright, but the Antonblast part was just slander.
I know! He just mentioned the basic rule of every level. “Reach the end to activate Happy Hour” Anyone could have seen that in the Steam or Nintendo page, and he didn’t even mention the story at all. The Antonblast review was filled with Pizza Tower
@@zackie8172 The story alone is entirely different. Pizza Tower is where Peppino Spaghetti must stop Pizzaface from blowing up his restaurant with high speed and getting good ranks on levels. Antonblast is where Dynamite Anton and Dynamite Annie must get back Anton’s stolen spirits with the clutch boost and crashing through obstacles. This will be the worst critic or review of Antonblast I will ever see in my life.
@@zackie8172 Peppino uses Mach to gain speed and rush through the level and back. He does this by not stopping to get faster and faster. Anton or Annie uses clutch boosts to gain speed and crash through obstacles. They do this with timing to gain boosts. In order to do good on Pizza Tower levels, you need to collect all the toppings, all the secrets, the treasure, and can’t let the combo drop. To do good on an Antonblast level, you need to simply survive until you reach Happy Hour, and when you reach the elevator. Getting collectibles in those levels is completely optional.
@@goosebumpsfandamian1887 Even the bosses are different! Pepperman is sort of like a tutorial boss, while Brawlbuster just sends you into the action right off the bat. The boss busters have unique gimmicks to them as opposed to PT where you dodge attacks mostly near the ground and wait for the enemy to become vulnerable, and they all feel the same, as opposed to the bosses in Antonblast, which have different ways of hurting them and using different gimmicks. And the boss busters are only mini bosses. The full-on bosses are pretty much like Cuphead bosses where they have multiple phases that are different to each other. You can also attack them most of the time, but they have big health bars compared to the boss busters and PT's bosses. No boss in Antonblast is the same.
Great video but damn, while mouthwashing and ufo 50 recieved fair discussion, half of the antonblast review was just "pizza tower did it better" with a heavy focus on its flaws rather than what makes the game good
why are there so many people comparing antonblast and pizza tower like damn there both very different is just the same thing is there both inspired of wario land 4 (but pizza tower kinda feel inspired of sonic cause speed and antonblast inspired of crash bandicoot cause of that box jump and slide and probably other stuff i miss) there too different man is inspired by wario land 4 that it
I agree with the sentiment, but calling things that people pour their heart and soul into "slop" because a corporation made it is something that I can't get behind. It's giving "the thing I like is better than the popular thing"
@@HIMB667 it was a little sad really seeing my favorite youtuber pretty much slander this game for a good 5 minutes and just compare it to pizza tower the whole review boils down to "this game is alright, pizza tower better" another thing that pissed me off far more than it should was that 3/4 of the background music from the section was from pizza tower, like cmon man
@@MattJohnson-gi7lu Like come on! I literally completely the Game on the Switch and even tho there’s performance issues which Summitsphere is aware and currently appealing for patch approval from Nintendo but this game is superb to be on Pizza Tower’s level!
Thanks for talking about UFO 50, my game of the decade. I dedicated a good portion of my life to telling people how awesome it is (and running the community Discord), so it's very validating to see it so beloved by people. Fantastic video, Foekoe!
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 think that people have been spoiled by Pizza Tower when it comes to Wario-Land likes. Pizza Tower is more focused on speed and holds your hand, however Antonblast is more focused on puzzles and expects more out of you. This is what makes people compare it to Pizza Tower so much and dislike it. The fact a quarter of the Antonblast part was devoted to Pizza Tower is sad lmao
To anyone who sees this, I would recommend trying out CULTIC, a horror-themed fps inspired by RE4 and Dark Forces, where you play as a police detective fighting against a cult whose members are dressed in hooded robes and armed with guns. 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.
Comment section is annoying. He only really compared it to Pizza tower near the start, and while comparing it at all is dubious, people are absolutely overblowing it as though he just talked about Pizza Tower instead of AntonBlast, when that’s clearly not true. People have their own experiences playing games; it’s not like movies or shows where everyone experiences the same thing, so saying “it’s really not that hard, just get over it lol” isn’t much of a valid criticism to his review.
Okay im fucking sorry but can people stop comparing Antonblast to pizza tower? THEY ARE DIFFFERENT GODDAMN GAMES. just cause they are both based of the same thing doesn’t mean they are automatically comparable! They are both peak. There is no need for this
comparing antonblast to pizza tower despite being basically completely different, antonblast is more platforming and you clearly didnt learn that speed is NOT the thing here, also half the "criticisms" is you just being bad at the game ngl, you should compare it to warioland 4 DIRECTLY, not something thats based off of sonic the hedgehogs speed aspect with some of warioland 4 sprinkled in
comparing antonblast to pizza tower this heavily is so disingenuous lmao if you’re going into antonblast expecting it to be just like pizza tower then you’re literally setting yourself up for disappointment lmao they really aren’t similar outside of surface level details
Hey, thanks to one of your previous indie-game highlights, i actually got Roboquest. And when you said it was genuinely fun, you MEANT IT. Keep this greenlighting up!
I dislike how you spend most of the Antonblast portion talking about Pizza Tower and talking about things Pizza Tower did that Antonblast doesn’t and because of that, pushing Antonblast down for something it did not do wrong… *Pinball Mire is not that bad*
oh boy twitter drama!!! 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
He foreshadowed his opinion with that beggining honestly, i wonder what mc pig and summit would think about his review of the game? I wish someone send it to mcpig lol
thats why i sometimes (mostly on sales) go into the steam shop completely blind, trying out eye-catching titles to find hidden gems (thats how i discovered kinitopet, death must die and everhood for myself) and to this day i dont regret a single penny spent on all of my games cause of this practice.
Would you be up for other recommendations? There's stuff like: Cookie Cutter, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Loco Motive, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Magenta Horizon, Kraino Rebirth, Zet Zillions, Genokids, My Familiar, Decline's Drops, PRIM, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Midnight Walk, Judero, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Bad Boro, No Straight Roads... and there's so many more cool ones.
@@jurtheorc8117 some of them are actually on my wishlist (genokids and bad boro). Ruffy, immortal and midnight walk are looking pretty dope, I will try them out when they come out. Thanks for the recommendations!
Honestly I'm with everyone here, your segment on Antonblsat was just mid, it felt less like a review about AntonBlast but more like you were just talking about Pizza Tower again for the fifth or sixth time. I'd say its best you try a different approach or mindset when playing or reviewing Antonblast to give a less biased review.
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.
While I haven't gotten my degree yet, I can validate this claim. Tunnel Vision is a very real thing when developing games and often times you need another lens to look through when it comes to designing stuff within your game.
Can strongly recommend looking into other indie and smaller dev stuff too, like: Cookie Cutter, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Loco Motive, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Magenta Horizon, Kraino Rebirth, Zet Zillions, Genokids, My Familiar, Decline's Drops, PRIM, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Midnight Walk, Judero, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Bad Boro, No Straight Roads... and there's so many more cool ones.
@@jayjar1376 DK WEST, DK WEST, HE'S OUR MAN OH HE'S THE BEST Good to see other NSR fans here! Have any of the games i mentioned here caught your attention? I reckon My Familiar, Decline's Drops and Genokids could be up your alley. Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Cookie Cutter and Loco Motive are some of my favourites. And Immortal: And the Death that Follows as well as The Midnight Walk are ones i'm looking much forward to. (fair warning, Cookie has *awesome* art style and direction, but it can be provocative and out-there. )
Antonblast definitely felt more like a Wario Land 4 experience to me than Pizza Tower did, and while Pizza Tower was an all around amazing game I feel Antonblast had a much different approach to the Wario formula that makes it a bit harder to compare which one of the two is objectively "better" since they both do certain things a lot differently.
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.
I felt the anton segment was perfectly fine. Having mostly fair critiques and comparing it to pizza tower (a very similar game) as a reference point helped illustrate the point that the game is great but has a few flaws that hold it back from being a masterpiece.

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.
Both are based on the same concept but each one choose to land on only one aspect of the based game.
I mean, both of these are peak af...
I think this comment is to people that call it a pizza tower rip off which is a very [redacted] statement
dont forget that tony and mcpig are literally friends
@@БагакашвилиМлхазthis is important to remember, they both reference each others games IN their own games, so these 2 games being similar or compared isn’t a bad thing at all
it still pisses me off how many people there are that look at indie games and just think "Yeah never heard about it, pass" and then go play the newest AAA slop.
Its unfortunate how many people think the other way around too. Indie has slop AAA has slop. Indie has great games AAA has great games. People act like its so one-sided when it really isn't.
You forgot about the part where they complain about the lack of enjoyment
@@technoboop1890 It's way more prevalent in AAA tho. name one indie slop that came out this year (that isn't banban, the best game ever made). even then you could probably name three other AAA slop for every bad indie.
@@technoboop1890nah, I've seen maybe 1 good AAA game ever lol, meanwhile thousands of fantastic indies and some great triple i games too

Bro Spends a Quarter of the ANTONBLAST Part talking about Pizza Tower. BLAST Issue.
He did my boy anton so dirty... he doesnt even know how to cancel the Hammer
y e s.
He didnt stated one single good aspect of the game he only said its worth giving it a try.
yea... personally a bit tired of them being compared when they aim for different gameplay and story by a lot. the only part that is all that similar are the ones based on the inspiration of wario land 4. it's not aiming to be a pizza tower 2 it's aiming to be it's own thing.
Yeah I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought he talked about Pizza Tower a little too much
Going into Antonblast already comparing into Pizza Tower feels kind of disingenuous. Yes, they are similar and share influences, but theyre still such different games that going in with those expectations feels like you're setting it up to be underwhelming.
Also, Pinball Mire slander is ridiculous, it's SERIOUSLY not that bad.
it is very irritating having to hear Antonblast being compared to Pizza Tower over and over again when the similarities are surface level at best
I honestly feel like the game came out too early.
Many people,me included, are still into Pizza tower, so we base our opinion of how good pizza tower is, ignoring that Antonblast is its own game.
That being said, Anton blast does feel slow to me, for some reason
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.
For me, Pinball Mire really improved on a second playthrough, I actually quite enjoy it now
To me, Pizza Tower is more Sonic than WarioLand 4. Antonblast feels like WarioLand 4.
The AntonBlast section is horridly made, it literally has NOTHING to do with Pizza Tower and you talk about it for the whole section when it is about AntonBlast. It feels disingenuous to the devs who worked on it.
Overall the time spent talking about antonblast was longer than pizza tower and comparing the two games is completely valid imo, as they both have a wacky cartoon art style fast paced, messy and wario land 4 inspired.
@tubemash3772
> comparing the two games is completely valid imo
Not. Both to take surface level inspiration from WL4 but they are nothing alike comparing both is like comparing apples 2 oranges.
> as they both have a wacky cartoon art style fast paced, messy and wario land 4 inspired
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.
> fast paced, messy and wario land 4 inspired.
Being fast paced and take inspiration WL4 does not equal pizza tower. Pizza Tower is more like a love letter to WL4 while AntonBlast feels more like a straight up sequel
> Overall the time spent talking about antonblast was longer than pizza tower

@@Purpbatboi Agree with most of your points but I'd say pizza tower is the more 90s cartoons esque
It hurts to see pizza tower music being used in the section about antonblast.
It's like a kick to my face 😭
The ost of the game is so good and he didnt even talked about it...
Real 😭honestly his whole Pizza Tower 2 segment felt like a huge disrespect to Antonblast
For real, the music is ALL incredible. I can’t think of a single track that I haven’t hummed to myself at least once.

Pizza Tower : Love letter to Warioland 4
Antonblast : Actual experience of playing Warioland 4
what does this mean bro Warioland 4 played like a sloth strapped to a boulder, they are both amazing titles and love letters for warioland 4

It doesn't even play like warioland 4
You either didnt play antoblast or warioland 4
AntonBlast is Wario Land 4 if they developed it harder
I thought you said these indie games are slop in the title for a sec
i was already preparing the machine guns lmao
Calling Antonblast "Pizza Tower 2" because they both took inspiration from Wario Land is like if people called Omori "Undertale 2" because they both took inspiration from Mother

this review of antonblast felt more like a pizza tower review ngl. bro even the lead dev on antonblast said it was one sided like damn 💀it wasnt supposed to be a follow up to pizza tower…I am not mad he didn’t like antonblast I’m mad that he was yapping abt pizza tower

About Antonblast you must know: The other Kickstarter goals aren’t in the game yet, meaning there is more still coming.
Right now it's on switch, the Kickstarter had Playstation and Xbox funded so possibly (2025 or 26)
This just makes me want to play Antonblast more, no offence to Pizza Tower though.

They never hit the kickstarter goal for the new content
Everytime someone compares Antonblast to Pizza Tower an angel loses its wings.
Look, It’s really disheartening that the whole section about Antonblast is barely anything about the game but only comparing it to Pizza Tower, I really love pt but You gotta understand that these games are completely different! Sure, they borrow the same inspo but comparing them cut and dry is so disingenuous. Also being bad at the game is not valid criticism 😗

no.
Yeah he did antonblast kinda dirty... is sad seing almost no one playing antonblast since the release i am expecting the big youtubers, nintendo youtubers and also people that played pizza tower tower to check anton but no one seams to give a shit and only is being compared as a pizza tower crash grab.

If you're gonna talk about Antonblast, please don't immediately compare it to Pizza Tower. Both games are inspired by Wario Land 4, but each one focuses on a key aspect of the franchise that makes both games stand out from each other.
Honestly, that ANTONBLAST section was just unfair,the whole thing just comes down to a "skill issue"(and I hate using that buzzword)You can cancel the hammer clutch by hitting the button twice in the air or by holding the crouch button to make it go down faster.The trash goblins are easy to catch when you corner them,just jump when they jump and it's done,Pinball mire is chaotic,sure.But other than that i don't get what you're upset about???Also you just didn't elaborate on how the bosses weren't fun,they're far better than Pizza Tower's bosses in quality.(Also also,the game began development before Pizza Tower)
Yeah he didnt cook at all honestly he needs to make a proper review video because what i got from this is pizza tower better. I really want to understand his problems because he praised nothing about the game and just yap about his problems and pizza tower the entire time.

Even maulbuster, that follows the simple hit system
Doesnt feel like an average platformer boss
@@ssg-eggunner bro maulbuster isn't bad at all.I really like the bullet hell approach ANTONBLAST took with it's later bosses.
“Wow I wonder what he thinks about Antonblast!”
*the suspiciously pizza tower shaped review in the corner*
The antonblast section is so far your only bad section in a video, so i wont put a pipebomb in your mailbox
Solving your hammer jump problem: you can press the hammer button 2 times to cancel the hammer jump. Hope this helps 👍
Hey that Antonblast part is not great you spend more time talking about Pizza Tower than Anton blast.
Were Antonblast plays alot more closely to Wario land 4
Doesnt play exactly like wl4 but i get your point
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.
....That being said, Cinnamon Springs deserves to die.
Helo funny cat man
the entire antonblast segment was horrid, this felt like playing super meat boy while constantly comparing it to mario
>play these indie games instead
>spends a good chunk of the Antonblast segment complaining about game design they don’t understand
If you are struggling THIS badly with Antonblast then you’re actually just expecting a hard game to hold your hand.
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.
Antonblast is more so variable pacing tbh
People are hating on Pinball Mire way too much.
Yeah, Mysterious Glasshouse deserves much, much more hate.
Between the leaves, the demon clouds, the carnivorous platforms, the fish, and those ANNOYING AS HELL THORNS, it’s the worst part of the game.
fr though, for a level that everyone is hating on (not me included), it has what is in my opinion the best theme in the game
Pinball mire slander will NOT be tolerated... it really isnt that bad
honestly its not even pinball mire that is the issue, the actual issue is the pinball mechanic, if it didnt exist or were to be remade, the level would be so much more enjoyable
pinball mire is mid
Its bad but at least is not mad mall levels of bad
it was my favorite level on first playthrough
@guilhermenascimento9125 i like mad mall honestly, judge me if you want, but i just think that its concept, at least, is fun, idk, i just like it
I'm gonna BLAST.
The ant-on you is goona blast as well...
3:24 If you liked Moutwashing you should definetly check out it's prequel: How Fish is made (by the same devs). It's weird and trippy as hell and I recommend it if you like weird ass games
Being honest ur issues with antonblast are just a skill issue lmao-
(Except cinnamon spring, fuck that)
So many people have skill issue then
@ Fr then bc it’s not that hard tbh
@@ghosthaunted1451and the mysterious Glasshouse.
Fuck those thorns and that fish.
That’s all i heard, he was expecting to not die like in pizza tower in seems
I played a bit of Antonblast, is good, but dont compare it to Pizza Tower (Sonic + Wario) this is Crash + Wario, its good in its own different way, so full of life and expressions, so much variety, i recomend you all give it a try, the dev is a sweetheart of a person and its working hard to fix a crash on Switch, that aside he keeps marketing the game and sometimes gives free keys, tell others about the game, give others keys of the game SUPPORT PASSIONATED DEVS
Pizza Tower isnt Sonic + Wario
The only sonic inspired things in PT are the slopes and the sewers level
The speed aspect is based on jazz jackrabbit instead
Gaming isnt "dead" or "boring" people are just dead bored by AAA games (most of them are actually good to point to) for the rest of my life ive seen myself only playing indie titles and loving it. To the point i 100% them.
Any indie games that you would want to recommend and see be more talked about?
For me it's stuff like:
Cookie Cutter, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Loco Motive, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Magenta Horizon, Kraino Rebirth, Zet Zillions, Genokids, My Familiar, Decline's Drops, PRIM, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Midnight Walk, Judero, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Bad Boro, Promise Mascot Agency, Resistor, No Straight Roads, Soulstice... and there's so many more cool ones.
Admittedly there's a few that are more on the level of AA-- Soulstice for example makes me think of Darksiders in production value and is in the same genre of character action/hack-and-slash. And it's no less worth talking about like the others.
Hope this list gives some interesting titles for you!
@jurtheorc8117 I'll try and grab some of them when a good steam sale comes. But for more games I would absolutely recommend and wanted to be more talked about are definitely
Cuphead
Neon abyss (this one especially)
Pizza tower
Another one to add I'd say would be Laika: Aged Through Blood.
It was made by the guys who did Friends vs Friends.
It's a Metroidvania where you ride around on a bike and have to reload by doing backflips on it. The music, story, charecters are all so surprisingly filled with so much depth for how "simple" the gameplay is.
Lord knows it had me crying by the end of it.
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.
But yeah, pinball mire and those trash goblins can go to hell.
Pizza Tower is more so jazz jackrabbit style than sonic
Also antonblast doesnt have much exploration
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.
Joycon drift is still very much a thing. I learned that from how long it took me on Cinnamon springs (the moving platforms), Tallbuster’s fight (I fell into the water at the very end like 3 times and died), and the Mysterious Glasshouse (pretty much everything in this level is an ordeal)
for a guy who makes a living off talking about indie games it’d expect you to respect antonblast as its own thing instead of the entire section basically boiling down to ”this is like pizza tower but not”
UFO 50 is honestly one of the best games I've played
Same
Alright I’m disliking this video because you cannot seriously look at a game and say “this game is mid because it’s not like this other, completely different game.”
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.
That Antonblast review SUCKED go pick up Wario Land 4
18:10 i dont care what you say, terraria will always be peak
Foekoe also loves Terraria, it’s just common for people to have it and never play it or just have it with like just three other games
@ yeah i know lol, just saying deserves more attention
Fun fact: the creator of antonblast has a good relationship with the creator of pizza tower
Anton Blast section was so bad it genuinely pissed me off
One thing i agree about Antonblast is that, sometimes, the movement feels a bit too slippery (The Antithesis room in Hell's manor is the bane of my existence).
The rest is a skill issue

Also Pinball Mire isn't that bad
To be honest at first i thought the you were making one big joke during the Antonblast section of the video but oh you were dead serious...
0:17 the fact that 3/6 of the videos here have the soyjack face should say something about the points these types of videos are making
Who clicked on this video because Antonblast was on it? Too bad it was nothing but slander, comparing this game to Pizza Tower, and recommending it without giving valid reasons. It felt more like he was reviewing Pizza Tower than Antonblast when they give way more different experiences. He doesn't even mention the story, which is simple, but still likable! Hell, there's little to no references to PT in Antonblast! The only one I can think of is that getting CRACKED is like getting a P-rank. I haven't played PT, but I have played Antonblast and beat the main game and am on my way to 100% it. The other to reviews were alright, but the Antonblast part was just slander.
I know! He just mentioned the basic rule of every level. “Reach the end to activate Happy Hour” Anyone could have seen that in the Steam or Nintendo page, and he didn’t even mention the story at all. The Antonblast review was filled with Pizza Tower
Anton Blast has way more variety, setpieces and gimmicks in every single level, like way more, I don’t understand how he thinks they are similar
@@zackie8172 The story alone is entirely different. Pizza Tower is where Peppino Spaghetti must stop Pizzaface from blowing up his restaurant with high speed and getting good ranks on levels. Antonblast is where Dynamite Anton and Dynamite Annie must get back Anton’s stolen spirits with the clutch boost and crashing through obstacles. This will be the worst critic or review of Antonblast I will ever see in my life.
@@zackie8172 Peppino uses Mach to gain speed and rush through the level and back. He does this by not stopping to get faster and faster. Anton or Annie uses clutch boosts to gain speed and crash through obstacles. They do this with timing to gain boosts. In order to do good on Pizza Tower levels, you need to collect all the toppings, all the secrets, the treasure, and can’t let the combo drop. To do good on an Antonblast level, you need to simply survive until you reach Happy Hour, and when you reach the elevator. Getting collectibles in those levels is completely optional.
@@goosebumpsfandamian1887 Even the bosses are different! Pepperman is sort of like a tutorial boss, while Brawlbuster just sends you into the action right off the bat. The boss busters have unique gimmicks to them as opposed to PT where you dodge attacks mostly near the ground and wait for the enemy to become vulnerable, and they all feel the same, as opposed to the bosses in Antonblast, which have different ways of hurting them and using different gimmicks. And the boss busters are only mini bosses. The full-on bosses are pretty much like Cuphead bosses where they have multiple phases that are different to each other. You can also attack them most of the time, but they have big health bars compared to the boss busters and PT's bosses. No boss in Antonblast is the same.
Great video but damn, while mouthwashing and ufo 50 recieved fair discussion, half of the antonblast review was just "pizza tower did it better" with a heavy focus on its flaws rather than what makes the game good
Ufo 50 is what action 52 should have been.
Comparing antonblast to pizza tower as if it's a worse version is just like ow players calling every other game within the genre a "copy"
I have the opposite thoughts, i really like antonblast but I don't like pizza tower that much
same.
I just like both
why are there so many people comparing antonblast and pizza tower like damn there both very different is just the same thing is there both inspired of wario land 4 (but pizza tower kinda feel inspired of sonic cause speed and antonblast inspired of crash bandicoot cause of that box jump and slide and probably other stuff i miss)
there too different man is inspired by wario land 4 that it
PT's speed aspect is based off jazz jackrabbit, not sonic
I agree with the sentiment, but calling things that people pour their heart and soul into "slop" because a corporation made it is something that I can't get behind. It's giving "the thing I like is better than the popular thing"
Sometimes it just so happens that its the corporations that make it bad and ruin it, so yeah you have a point

2:18 bro this cat looks PISSED OFF
Genuinely I don't think you're gonna live down the skill issue complaints in the Antonblast section dude
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 think that people have been spoiled by Pizza Tower when it comes to Wario-Land likes. Pizza Tower is more focused on speed and holds your hand, however Antonblast is more focused on puzzles and expects more out of you. This is what makes people compare it to Pizza Tower so much and dislike it. The fact a quarter of the Antonblast part was devoted to Pizza Tower is sad lmao
To anyone who sees this, I would recommend trying out CULTIC, a horror-themed fps inspired by RE4 and Dark Forces, where you play as a police detective fighting against a cult whose members are dressed in hooded robes and armed with guns. 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.
Comment section is annoying. He only really compared it to Pizza tower near the start, and while comparing it at all is dubious, people are absolutely overblowing it as though he just talked about Pizza Tower instead of AntonBlast, when that’s clearly not true. People have their own experiences playing games; it’s not like movies or shows where everyone experiences the same thing, so saying “it’s really not that hard, just get over it lol” isn’t much of a valid criticism to his review.
Okay im fucking sorry but can people stop comparing Antonblast to pizza tower? THEY ARE DIFFFERENT GODDAMN GAMES. just cause they are both based of the same thing doesn’t mean they are automatically comparable! They are both peak. There is no need for this
comparing antonblast to pizza tower despite being basically completely different, antonblast is more platforming and you clearly didnt learn that speed is NOT the thing here, also half the "criticisms" is you just being bad at the game ngl, you should compare it to warioland 4 DIRECTLY, not something thats based off of sonic the hedgehogs speed aspect with some of warioland 4 sprinkled in

Honestly, Antonblast is not a game for you. FOEKOEEEE
Two cups gambling, enraged italian guy, satan stealing your beer, we're in the peak era of indie gaming 🗣️🔥
What I learned from this video is that I should stop playing pizza tower so it doesn't taint my experience of antonblast, thanks fuckoe! 😁👍

It’s not on the list lol
Cant you like comment on videos that you are interested in? You act like a 50 year old guy trying to be cool with the kids:P
Overrated
Pinball Mire isn’t that hard dude
Yeah, if you want a level to hate, there’s always the Mysterious Glasshouse.
I clicked because of antonblast, and I regretted it
not the game director of antonblast vague posting on twitter about you using antonblast for a "anti-aaa slop" video and then deleting it an hour later
comparing antonblast to pizza tower this heavily is so disingenuous lmao if you’re going into antonblast expecting it to be just like pizza tower then you’re literally setting yourself up for disappointment lmao they really aren’t similar outside of surface level details
Hey, thanks to one of your previous indie-game highlights, i actually got Roboquest. And when you said it was genuinely fun, you MEANT IT.
Keep this greenlighting up!
i will not tolerate antonblast slander
I dislike how you spend most of the Antonblast portion talking about Pizza Tower and talking about things Pizza Tower did that Antonblast doesn’t and because of that, pushing Antonblast down for something it did not do wrong…
*Pinball Mire is not that bad*
oh boy twitter drama!!!
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
"pizza tower 2!" Please leave.
What do you mean?
Are you making fun of the people saying antonblast copied pizza tower?
@@alexanderthegreat-mx5zu yea
He foreshadowed his opinion with that beggining honestly, i wonder what mc pig and summit would think about his review of the game? I wish someone send it to mcpig lol
@guilhermenascimento9125 he wouldn't even be mad,just disappointed.
Best christmas present he could have given us! Merry christmas Foekoe and everyone else!
thats why i sometimes (mostly on sales) go into the steam shop completely blind, trying out eye-catching titles to find hidden gems (thats how i discovered kinitopet, death must die and everhood for myself) and to this day i dont regret a single penny spent on all of my games cause of this practice.
Would you be up for other recommendations? There's stuff like:
Cookie Cutter, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Loco Motive, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Magenta Horizon, Kraino Rebirth, Zet Zillions, Genokids, My Familiar, Decline's Drops, PRIM, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Midnight Walk, Judero, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Bad Boro, No Straight Roads... and there's so many more cool ones.
@@jurtheorc8117 some of them are actually on my wishlist (genokids and bad boro). Ruffy, immortal and midnight walk are looking pretty dope, I will try them out when they come out. Thanks for the recommendations!

Honestly I'm with everyone here, your segment on Antonblsat was just mid, it felt less like a review about AntonBlast but more like you were just talking about Pizza Tower again for the fifth or sixth time. I'd say its best you try a different approach or mindset when playing or reviewing Antonblast to give a less biased review.
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.

While I haven't gotten my degree yet, I can validate this claim. Tunnel Vision is a very real thing when developing games and often times you need another lens to look through when it comes to designing stuff within your game.
Stopped watching after the antonblast segment lol that take is absolutely atrocious
Dear Foekoe, I'll buy and play all of these games when I am gifted a PC.
Yours truly,
Guy without a PC
Can strongly recommend looking into other indie and smaller dev stuff too, like:
Cookie Cutter, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Loco Motive, Immortal: And the Death that Follows, Magenta Horizon, Kraino Rebirth, Zet Zillions, Genokids, My Familiar, Decline's Drops, PRIM, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Midnight Walk, Judero, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, Bad Boro, No Straight Roads... and there's so many more cool ones.

Good to see other NSR fans here!
Have any of the games i mentioned here caught your attention? I reckon My Familiar, Decline's Drops and Genokids could be up your alley.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Cookie Cutter and Loco Motive are some of my favourites.
And Immortal: And the Death that Follows as well as The Midnight Walk are ones i'm looking much forward to.
(fair warning, Cookie has *awesome* art style and direction, but it can be provocative and out-there. )
Antonblast definitely felt more like a Wario Land 4 experience to me than Pizza Tower did, and while Pizza Tower was an all around amazing game I feel Antonblast had a much different approach to the Wario formula that makes it a bit harder to compare which one of the two is objectively "better" since they both do certain things a lot differently.

14:55 Skill Issue Starts Here
Bro is so bad that he insulted a core gamplay mechanic.
how can you see that 100% complete banner under a game or how can you anable it? I mean like at 0:01 for example
you think you win with the ur mom joke, but nope. UNO REVERSE! now i win the argument.
We always tell these people to not play slop and play indie games instead but they still don't listen
