!! Tropes present in this game:
* BewareMyStingerTail: Later game features large bee toys that somehow manage to shoot green projectiles from their tails. Which explode.
* BloodlessCarnage: Justified, since you are fighting toys. Weirdly, the game still manages to not be child-friendly in a different way, as one of the later levels has topless pin-up posters that are not even concealed in secret areas.
* EverythingFades: Averted with the defeated toys, which stay down and do not disappear into the ether.
* EvilLaugh: One of the basic toy types is a perpetually smiling head that punches you up close, and lets out a piercing laugh when it spots you.
* ExcusePlot: There's basically no story besides the premise written in the readme file, and the ending text.

The toy company Happy Toys is bought by Delta Military Systems to become Delta Toys. The following Christmas Day, a security guard for the company is charged with shooting his own daughter, but the security guard blames the toys for the murder. Shortly afterwards, Delta Military Systems loses all contact with the toy company. A SWAT team is sent in, but all members are reported missing in action. Subsequently, the Defence Council sends in their [[TheAce best man]], the player character, to investigate.

Well, that's what [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]] [[ExcusePlot says]], anyway.
