About Antonball Deluxe
Antonball Deluxe is a retro‑style arcade collection from Summitsphere that mixes classic brick‑breaking with fast platforming. Players guide Anton, a red exterminator, through 30 wall‑smashing stages, then switch to Annie’s Punchball tournament or a competitive VS. Antonball mode.
The package bundles three distinct games, supports up to four players locally or online, and offers leaderboards, achievements, and a gamepad‑required local multiplayer experience. A retro soundtrack and 21 unlockable characters round out the high‑octane offering.
01 / THE GUIDE
Antonball
In Antonball, Anton must break his way from Brulo's Casino back to his home across 30 stages. The gameplay blends brick‑breaking mechanics with platforming jumps, using the titular Antonball to smash walls. The mode is presented as an enhanced low‑definition remake of Summitsphere’s earlier jam title, emphasizing a linear path through sewers and city walls.
- Observe how wall layouts change between stages to anticipate jump timing.
- Compare early and later stages to gauge difficulty progression.
02 / THE GUIDE
Punchball
Punchball follows Annie, Anton’s building‑mate, as she enters the Punchball Tourney at Brulo's Casino. Players use the Punchball to slam enemies and then kick them off the stage to claim victory. The goal is to defeat trickster beasts and become the Punchball Champion, with the grand prize being a lifetime supply of Ballble Tea.
- Try timing your slam before the kick to maximize enemy displacement.
- Watch enemy patterns to choose when to use the slam versus the kick.

VS. Antonball
VS. Antonball pits two teams against each other, each protecting their own brick wall while attempting to destroy the opponent’s. Matches support 1v1, 2v2, or 2v1 configurations. Power‑ups appear during play, and some can be thrown, adding strategic depth to the brick‑breaking duel.
- Balance wall defense with offensive power‑up usage for optimal results.
- Experiment with different team sizes to find a comfortable rhythm.

Multiplayer Options
The game supports up to four players locally via split‑screen and online via PvP or co‑op modes. Local multiplayer requires a gamepad, while online play utilizes Steam’s networking features. Leaderboards track Antonball and Punchball scores, and achievements reward progress across modes.
- Coordinate with teammates in co‑op to manage wall‑breaking and enemy control.
- Use the online leaderboards to gauge how your scores compare globally.
