Antonball Deluxe, stylized in all caps, is a 2021 puzzle-brick breaker-platform game developed by independent video game company Summitsphere and originally published by Proponent Games until Summitsphere took over the publishing rights.[1][2] The game was released on March 5, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, with a Nintendo Switch version later released on September 28.[1] It is the first installment of the Anton series with the game being followed up by Antonblast, a destruction-based 2D platformer released in 2024. The game features three game modes: Antonball, Punchball, and Vs. Antonball.[1]
Antonball and Punchball mode are remakes of a Game Boy-styled GB game jam game: Antonball and a delisted Game Boy-styled Itch.io game: Punch Ball Antonball.[3][4] The story of Antonball follows exterminator Anton Ball walking away from a night in Brulo's bar, only to fall down a sewer. The story of Punchball stars Annie Bell, where she wants to be win at Brulo's Punchball tournament in order to win a lifetime supply of "Ballble Tea".[5]
