I'm back at it once again with a third pair of coverage on this (as of this publish) upcoming game.
And by GOD I'm really starting to see the progress - the vision - that it's developers want it to have! It's becoming more clearer than ever that this isn't just inspired by Wario Land, but also of Crash Bandicoot.
And the first thing I see of it this time is how the new title screen presents itself!
Also, once you pick either Anton or Annie, and then choose a stage, you always get a cheeky (line) from Satan (yup. Satan) the villain of this game who hates that he isn't as red as Anton. He stole all of his Spirits in a plan to be the reddest guy in the planet.
But that was total *BLAST*phemy to Anton!
----------
Compared to the previous Dynamite Demo, this 2.0 version gives both Anton and Annie new animations, and spruces up their moveset even more than every before.
They still use their Hammer Spin in the air, but the replace the drop with it with turning themselves into a dive bomb: The Antomic Bomb! Fall from a great enough height and this will cause a shockwave when you hit the ground!
It looks like in some cases, their faces hit harder than their weapons!
The Crash influence is really shining more, here. Check out some of the graffiti of this orange marsupial in some places!
----------
Other new things I'm noticing are Checkpoint tolls, Heart Beets now coming out of crates instead of plucked from the ground a la Super Mario Bros. 2...
...and the ability to make Anton scream with a push the Cancel Button during the Pause Menu.
The Vinyls you collect are now Cassettes, and the crates you bounce on during the Bossbuster blimp seem arranged a bit easier (not that that stopped me from screwing up against one group of them).

This game comes out on November 12th! I am surely gonna cover it fully once it does!
