The game features a unique hand-drawn cartoon art style that is charming and visually appealing.
Gameplay mechanics such as shooting and upgrades are considered tight, responsive, and satisfying by some players.
The game has an indie soul with noticeable passion from the developer and offers a blend of cartoon aesthetics with shooter gameplay.

The game is plagued by bugs and technical issues, including crashing, softlocks at the first level, broken menus, and poor optimization especially on Steam Deck.
The difficulty is often described as unfair due to starting with low health and instant death mechanics, leading to frustrating gameplay.
The game feels unfinished and lacking content, with repetitive level designs, limited enemy variety, unbalanced mechanics, and missing features like background music and proper controls in menus.

The gameplay features tight and responsive shooting mechanics that blend well with the cartoon-style visuals, creating an engaging experience. However, it suffers from limited content with only around two minutes of actual gameplay and broken menus, highlighting a need for more variety and additional mechanics to sustain interest. Fans appreciate the colorful aesthetics and suggest further enhancements like health pickups to enrich the gameplay.
- “The shooting mechanics are tight, responsive, and incredibly satisfying.”
- “What really sets toon apart is how well it blends its cartoon aesthetic with intense shooter gameplay.”
- “Gameplay-wise, toon absolutely delivers.”
- “The menus are all but completely broken and the controls are beyond abysmal, not to mention the biggest flaw, being that there is quite literally 2 minutes of gameplay total for this game.”
- “Since it's based on the gameplay of Wolfenstein 3D, I would like to see them adding health pickups in the levels.”
- “The gameplay works fine but could be improved by continuing the colorful aesthetics to further distinguish the game.”

- “Lower the base volume of your menu music. The first time you open the game, even if your PC's volume is relatively low, the music volume will still destroy your eardrums.”
