Annie

''Note: The current version of Annie's moveset is solely based around content from Antonball, Antonball Deluxe, and the 2022 demo of Antonblast. As such, expect a major overhaul once the full Antonblast game has been released.'' "Annie Goes Nuts!"

Annie Bell is the deuteragonist of Summitsphere's Anton series, being introduced with the original Antonball as part of a 2020 update and using her design from the upcoming Antonblast.

She is also a playable character in Nexed.

Real-World History
To celebrate the one year anniversary of Antonball, the game would be updated to add Annie as a new playable character in 2020. This would be followed by Punch Ball Antonball later that year, which would be delisted from itch.io the following year.

In 2021, Antonball and Punch Ball Antonball would be remade as part of Antonball Deluxe, which was released on Steam on March 5th and the Nintendo Switch on September 28th. This game gave Annie a colored appearance for the first time. In 2022, Antonblast was announced and given a Kickstarter campaign. This game would redesign Annie, with her addition to the game as a playable character being one of the campaign's stretch goals

Following her appearances, Annie has gained a cult following.
