Backer #102 here - my review doesn't impact the game's ratings as indicated by the greyed out star.

Antonblast has a lot of potential with its amazing soundtrack, fun voice acting, and impressive art direction—you can really feel the love poured into this game.

The animations, while well-crafted, don’t always suit the game’s small resolution during gameplay, making it hard to follow the action (though the cutscenes look stellar). Even with accessibility options, the visual clutter can be overwhelming at times, with excessive shaking and flashing effects - an option to lower the brightness of the background to make the player and enemies stand out would be appreciated, in my opinion.

Some tiny bugs here and there can occur, I've experienced mild stuttering to broken full-screen with the game only taking a quarter of my screen, fixed by a reboot, alongside some weird game interactions with gimmicks, but nothing game-breaking.

What could be a fun and dynamic platformer can occasionally feel headache-inducing.
The transition from fast-paced gameplay to precise platforming can be a bit off-putting at times. With the clear Crash Bandicoot inspiration, an all-around "easy" mode would be a welcome addition, avoiding the need to buy items to make certain levels easier.

Don't underestimate the difficulty of the game. I came out of most levels feeling frustrated by the difficulty of certain parts, rather than being in awe of the great cinematics and events.

That said, the game shines with its varied levels, rich themes, and a colorful cast of characters.
If you're up for a challenge and can push past the chaos, there’s a lot to enjoy here.
