LogInTOONSOULS is a retro cartoon meets hardcore gaming-inspired indie platform game, featuring a medieval-themed environment with procedurally generated levels, full of dragons and ghosts.
TOONSOULS is a new project of Toon Crafter, the developer behind several published rubber hose animation-inspired games such as Animaddicts, PINBALLTOON, and TOON. All these games heavily rely on old-school cartoon visuals although belong to different genres like arcade and even first-person shooter.
This time, Toon Crafter aims to create a platform game, much like Cuphead but with a medieval-themed setting and random feeling to it instead. TOONSOULS features a knight protagonist, traveling through castles and dungeons filled with traps and obstacles, and fighting various fantasy enemies like dragons, ghosts, skulls, and devils with spears. The goal is to reach the end of each phase to advance to the next one.
The developer notes, that the game has procedurally generated enemies and levels to provide the most entertaining experience, so if this kind of gameplay and aesthetics is right up your alley, TOONSOULS might be worth checking out.
Features as listed on the game's Steam page include:
- One character to choose and play
- All levels are procedurally and randomly generated to add more randomness to the gameplay
- Full controller support

On the game's Steam page, it's said TOONSOULS is going to receive Early Access as the developer feels like it's the best way to receive valuable feedback and collaborate with players on what they want to see. The game is expected to leave Early Access within three months.
In the state of the Early Access version, the game has only one medieval environment with its own set of enemies, aiming to provide good fun. There are currently 3 procedurally generated levels within this environment.
As for future plans for the full version, Toon Crafter says: "We intend to create more levels with themes from different zones, with more different enemies and bosses to be killed at the end of those zones to move on to the theme of another environment. We intend to add items to collect and achieve super powers".
