A universe with cartoon physics just means that you'd have to prove that a physical law in in effect, not that it isn't. All of the basic ones apply almost all the time, so this usually isn't a problem, but I think the burden of proof of is on you for stuff like relativity. Anything more advanced than high school physics is usually firmly in "who cares?" territory when writing fantasy, and often not even that.

The "build up of energy" idea requires ignoring Newton's First Law, which is in place with, well, everything else in the scene and the basically the entire rest of the game. It's just plain implausible to say that this one time was an exception, and it isn't even consistent with the locking because the moon stopped when it was descending, not ascending.
