Antonball Deluxe

Antonball Deluxe is a puzzle-platforming video game developed by Summitsphere and published by Proponent Games. It is the third game in the Antonball series, as well as the first commercial game released by Summitsphere. The game contains remade and expanded versions of the original Antonball and Punch Ball Antonball, as well as a new multiplayer mode, Vs. Antonball.

Antonball
Antonball combines elements of brick-breaking with platforming gameplay. The player must clear levels (phases) by clearing all bricks in a level using the ball. The player loses a life if the ball leaves the play area, or if the player comes into contact with certain enemies or hazards. Unlike Antonball Classic, the player does not have the ability to run or fast-fall, but can aim the ball upwards or downwards. The player can also perform the clutch to launch the ball forwards or quickly dash, and backflip to jump higher.

Punch Ball Antonball
Punch Ball Antonball requires the player to defeat rounds of enemies using the Punch Ball.

Vs. Antonball
In Vs. Antonball, multiple players compete to knock down all the bricks on the opposing players wall, while defending their own from the opponent.
