They changed it to fit the cartoon aesthetic more and to make it less obvious that it was a Wario Land 4 sprite rip-off.
Out with you and your schizoid soul talk.
For the record I played the demo back when that came out and was pretty disappointed with it and probably won't play the full release. The level design was complete ass
>Eyes have to adjust to something with different expectations >It now means its soulless
Lol. You are the same homosexual from last thread and I'm gonna tell you the same thing from earlier. Fricking zoomer.
The old sprite is nicer because it makes use of subpixels to give detail like a shine highlight on the arm and also the muscles of the arm. The new sprite just has his arm look like a green sausage instead of a muscular arm.
>character jumps and punches something above them
Does anyone else feel like it's easy to forget that characters in Mario games hit blocks by punching them from underneath? It's something that I haven't thought about until I saw that Donkey Kong's animation for hitting the ceiling in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is him punching it. It happens when he punches vulnerable enemies from underneath too. I'm glad it was something that was really emphasized in Super Mario Bros. Wonder's final boss.
Why is this the second time there was a big indie advertised as a wario land spiritual successor that ended up being a high momentum score attack platformer instead. Like wario land was one of the slowest platformers out there, it was part of the appeal
They make a prototype of their slow platformer and then they go "Hey this shit's boring". Same reason why only Sonic 1 has the slow platforming/waiting sections
Because “high momentum score attack” and “high momentum speed running through empty voids with basic floating platforms” are highly popular with the indie scene these days, largely because the ADHD zoomie audience can’t sit still long enough to enjoy a game unless they are constantly seeing numbers go up or they’re making erratic motions on their controller/keyboard.
Left really does look worse, honestly. Pose is less dynamic than the right, less of an expression, and to top it off; it looks goofy. Anton is both holding a hammer with one hand and doing the Wario shoulder bash at the same time. It doesn't look good.
Right commits to the hammer and it looks way better.
The actual problem with the right image is his left arm and his right eye
the arm needs some muscle definition to emphasize power in the charge because as it is, it just looks weak
the eye expression needs to be more narrowed and focused like the left image has to show anton's characterization better

>Pose is less dynamic than the right
The left pose showcases more emphasis on power than the right does so left is more dynamic >less of an expression
The gigantic "i'm going to frick you up" grin is much more notable on the left than the generic facial expression on the right >it looks goofy
moronic post
the game that's heavily stylized from wario land and crash bandicoot where the demo title screen copies the goofy intro of crash 1 has a goofy charging expression on the left? no fricking shit kek
it's supposed to be a goofy overexaggerated expression of a tough guy
the new pose conveys a lot more power than the old one though. The old one is stiff, awkward and powerless. You can see Anton putting more of his body into the new sprite. I cannot possibly see how anybody could look at the old one and think that looks like it has more power behind it. Unless you literally mean because of the muscle definition, which does not remotely make up for the lack of power from the pose.
Also, nta, but the new one looks a lot more cartoony and "goofy" in the way that you mean the word goofy. I'm pretty sure he meant goofy as in it looked stupid or nonsensical. The new one has a much more exaggerated expression and lends itself better to cartoony action and physics.
Does anyone else feel like pizza tower is more of a sonic game than a warioland game? Not even just because he goes fast, but the emphasis on transformations doesnt feel as heavy as warioland plus the overall soundtrack and sound design fit more in line with sonic.
Pizza Tower felt like a mix up of Sonic, and Kirby Adventure with how abilities are handled to a certain degree.
I honestly didn't feel anything Warioland about the final product aside from Pepperman's boss fight but that may just be me since I only played Warioland 1 and tried 4, but didn't really enjoy 4 enough to beat it.
>sonic game than a warioland game
It absolutely is way more of a Sonic game, mechanically, then it is a Wario game. FFS, the mach dash functions identically to Sonic's "boost" mechanic.
Can anyone tell me what's the purpose of score in Antonblast?
What it really is an elaborate rework of the speed-booster concept that was introduced in Wario Land: Shake It. The annoying thing about the speed boosters in that game is that if you frick up, either you have to run all the way back to it, or you're fricked and you just exit the level in shame. Pizza Tower just lets you dash like that whenever you want.
OMG is that pizza tower and antonblast?! I LUUUUUV them gaems! So CrAzEH and wacky like myself XD lolol!!!11!! Ive watch lets plays on them both! GEEEK lol i know
By the way who is Wario?
Fat rat!! < sorry, just a little subtle pizza tower reference lol
Frick im such a NERD XD

it is WL4 rip-off
Anton Blast really doesn't play like Wario Land 4
I must be moronic in your eyes since left looks more cartoonish and right looks more wario land 4 to me
The left one IS the new one, read the labels.
I HURT MYSELF TODAY
new looks a lot better
new looks better here too
For the record I played the demo back when that came out and was pretty disappointed with it and probably won't play the full release. The level design was complete ass
The new demo is a lot better than the old one
I'll try it then. I do want to like this game but the last demo really put me off of it.
>I imagined something in my head and now I am mad
The curse of OP
Old looks too much like Wario. Not even Pizza Tower had the bulging bicep dash attack
that's the whole point its wario-like and now those homosexuals destroying it
To be fair, Peppino does have a shoulder bash animation. Just in a completely different context.
I sort of remember this. Was this when he was at maximum speed crashing through metal blocks?
It's when you do a sideways charge while doing a super jump
It's a double reference, because Samus also does a shoulder bash when she side-shine sparks.does the exact same move.
Pepperman has it though, as a joke.
It was soul the way he points up when you jump over him
new looks better, even the face. They should just give him bigger biceps
>Eyes have to adjust to something with different expectations

pizzaclone because gameplay like

What the frick is he supposed to be, I mean profession wise because from his outfit he looks like a bellhop.
Demolition/wrecking crew.

nobody cares what you think.
Frick Anton we want harmyarders
Why is new on the left and not the right?
Also new is better.
Left is unironically better.
oh i thought that was a mouse
does anyone else see it that way?

Because its more fun, that's how it goes.

>Thinks it's zoomie's fault for devs adding momentum in their games
Lol obsessed
Left looks better.
I agree

>Pizza Tower rips off WL4
>Anton Blast rips off WL4
When is someone going to have the CHUTZPAH to rip off WL3??
the closest thing you'll get to that is the september 2021 build of pizza tower, which was fricking ass
I should try it, I love fricking ass

I am making something sorta like that. Anything special you want added in?
The MC being unable to die, and designing everything around that.
A character with comically large breasts
New is better as an animation for clarity but delivers less of his character.
this just looks like 2 frames from the same animation. it looks exactly the same.
left has a way better expression and the pose makes more sense, though it does look less defined
Can anyone tell me what's the purpose of score in Antonblast?
every time i see new footage of this game it somehow looks more noisy and incoherent than it did before
Funny thing is; there's so many particle effects that even the switch struggled to run it, lmao
I like the more visible side eye in the new one.
Makes sense. Using both hammer and shoulder at the same time looks stupid. Pick one or the other.
?
That literally reads worse. His arm is just a green tube now.
OMG is that pizza tower and antonblast?! I LUUUUUV them gaems! So CrAzEH and wacky like myself XD lolol!!!11!! Ive watch lets plays on them both! GEEEK lol i know
