Miami Beach, Florida – June 7th, 2023 – Indie developer powerhouse Summitsphere is thrilled to announce their highly anticipated explosive platformer ANTONBLAST is getting a brand new demo, available now on Steam! The Dynamite Demo was surprise announced with a live-action trailer at the Guerrilla Collective Showcase today, giving eager viewers an up close and personal look at the real Dynamite Anton’s daily life as a destruction worker in Boiler City: https://youtu.be/11Tp59wD1LI
When Satan himself steals Dynamite Anton’s prized Spirit collection in a fit of jealous rage, Anton embarks on a destruction tour throughout the Backburner Peninsula that sees him leveling entire cities with his Mighty F’n Hammer, all in the name of retrieving his precious libation. Follow Dynamite Anton’s eruptive journey as he smashes, crashes, and BLASTS his way down to Hell to give Satan a piece of his mind! The Dynamite Demo gives players just a little taste of the mayhem, allowing them to play as both Dynamite Anton and his crazed maybe-coworker Dynamite Annie over two abridged levels from the full game.
“It’s been just over a year since we brought ANTONBLAST to Kickstarter, and we have our incredible fans to thank for their overwhelming support in getting us to this point,” said Tony Grayson, Studio Head at Summitsphere and Director on ANTONBLAST. “After all this time, it only felt right to give back and show them just how far things have come. It’s shaping up to be such an exhilarating, explosive, weird game - what other title tasks you with killing Satan over some drinks?!”
Dynamite Anton did not respond to a request for comment. Dynamite Annie did, but it was not suitable for print.

ANTONBLAST’s full release is set for sometime in 2024 on Nintendo Switch and Steam.
