Plan your next ANTONBLAST session
Our independent guide breaks down ANTONBLAST’s core systems so you can decide how to approach each chaotic level. By comparing playstyles, visual cues, and environmental mechanics, you’ll gain insight into optimizing both speed runs and thorough explorations without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Speed vs. Exploration
Run a level twice: first aiming for the fastest possible escape, then replaying at a relaxed pace. Note differences in how often you interact with destructible objects and whether hidden areas become accessible.
- Experiment with both rushing and exploring to see which pace fits your skill.
- Practice setting Brulo’s detonators as you learn each level’s flow.
02 / THE GUIDE
Hammer Impact Study
Test the Mighty F’n Hammer on various surfaces, such as walls and platforms. Record how each reacts to gauge the most efficient demolition technique for opening shortcuts.
- Notice how the graffiti motifs carry through backgrounds and character designs.
- Compare the color palettes across levels for visual variety.
03 / THE GUIDE
Audio Balance Check
Adjust the custom volume controls to find an audio balance that suits you. Observe how clearer effects can improve reaction time during boss attacks.
- Test different angles of attack to see how structures break.
- Look for hidden areas revealed after large sections collapse.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs. Keyboard Feel
Play a short segment using the controller, then repeat using the keyboard only option. Compare comfort, precision, and any latency you notice in hammer swings.
- Watch the boss’s pattern before committing to an attack.
- Use the environment’s destructibility to your advantage during the fight.
05 / THE GUIDE
Boss Pattern Recognition
During a boss fight, pause after each attack phase to sketch the pattern. Use this visual aid to plan hammer strikes and avoid damage in subsequent attempts.
- Adjust volume settings to balance music and effects for clarity.
- Try both controller and keyboard to see which feels more natural.
