Toonesia knows what it wants to be and isn't anything more than that. It's not a criticism with the game, it's a fun (albeit short) puzzle sequence consisting of loads of references to classic Looney Tunes. You play as hunter Elmo Fuld, hunting down Bud Bunny and running into a Tasmanian devil and a daffy duck. Even if you've only seen a few of the cartoons, there's still plenty of the classic tropes to laugh at here, with variations on all kinds of running gags. I didn't find the linear structure to be as big a problem as I was afraid it would be. The only real problem I had with the game was the described directions sometimes being reversed, which misled me a couple of times. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something light and quick, with a lot of cartoon logic.
