Make a cartoon. Sell a toy. Battle for your creative soul.
It’s 198X. You’ve got thirty minutes, a half-baked concept, and a boardroom full of skeptics. Your job?
Create the next great Saturday morning cartoon—and sell the toys to match.
30-Minute Toy Commercial is a solo storytelling game that puts you in the hot seat of a fictional toy company. Navigate corporate politics, survive marketing meetings, dodge angry parent groups, and wrestle with budget cuts… all while trying to keep your cartoon weird, fun, and just a little bit personal.

📺 What You’ll Do
- Invent a wild cartoon premise, from heroic sewer rodents to techno-druid teens
- Create characters, sidekicks, villains, and vehicles
- Design a toy line (whether or not it makes sense)
- Get sabotaged by the accounting department
- Push your vision through the system and pitch your show
By the end, you’ll have your very own retro-style animated universe—and the toys that go with it.
🧃 What It Feels Like
Imagine He-Man crossed with corporate spreadsheets and pure imagination.
You’ll play through creative prompts, dice-driven decisions, and idea-sparking chaos until your final product is ready for the Saturday morning spotlight.
It’s fun. It’s fast. It’s filled with laser jets, biker sharks, and branding drama.
🚀 Volume 2 Is Coming
The first edition is available now—but that’s just the pilot.
We’re hard at work on an expanded version of 30-Minute Toy Commercial, with new prompts, new challenges, and even more ridiculous pitch fuel.
More chaos. More creatures. More cartoons.
Coming soon. Stay tuned.
