We have this game on our old iPad but can you update this game.
Does anyone think of PBG when they play this? We know we do.
Literally just found this on here! This game was our childhood friend we literally played it everyday when we got home! Now we're so going to play it again.
This game brings so much memories back we're younger but we use to play it when we were younger and we're crying we're having a heart attack and this is great.
First we saw it on the computer then we started playing it and it was fun we think you should get it also they have putt putt joins the race.
Seriously, this game is awesome. It's fun ad you never want to stop till you finish everything.
Love when we saw this these old game brought back so many great memories! Just as we remember, except that we can carry it around! ^_^ Can't wait to share these with the next generation.
He's a cute little thingy dingy.
Love this game. We grew up with the putt-putt games on the computer. These are the exact games from the computer games and very well adapted to touch screens. We are happy to show these games to our little nephew and he seems to love them as well. We hope they also make the game for putt-putt joins the race, that was our favorite as a kid. :).
Absolutely loved these games as a kid but its a bummer that even though we already bought the game, the developers recreated the app so we would have to buy it again smh.
We grew up playing this game and have loved it since the beginning and now our baby sister loves it too! Just please update it so its compatible with iOS 11 (we think) so we can continue to play it. Thanks!!! Love all the putt putt games.
Whenever we try to go into this game it keeps saying that it is NOT compatible with iOS 11. Please fix.
We love the putt putt and freddi fish games. This sure brains back memories. The game exactly as we remember it. The only reason we give this game four stars is because of the graphics. We realize it's from the 90's, we were there… We played it. But we wish they would have edited it to not look so choppy. We would pay a few dollars extra for the full games if the graphics where better.
We like now that we bought the game we can play it whenever we want!! Put put was the best.
This is the real deal, orignal putt putt game, which is amazing. However, there are problems within the game that we're terrified will never be fixed since this hasn't been updated since 2014. You can get stuck at certain points and the game just won't let you go any further. Not sure why. We get stuck at the bridge of Arcticland and when you're on the raft in the Jungle. PLEASE SOMEONE AT HUMONGOUS ENTERTAINMENT FIX THIS. IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT we FINISH THIS GAME. MY CHILDHOOD IS AT STAKE.
The game needs to be updated so it doesn't slow down our iPad. Second, this thing keeps popping up about character cards and something with math and Roman numerals keep popping up if you do anything to leave the app. This game brings back a lot of great memories.
Penguins! Penguins! Gettin down! And even pup is gettin down his name is pep we think! Gettin down! Putt putt! Gettin down! PBG is a narwhal.
We bought this game and since it's the light version it doesn't let us do anything we can't go to the jungle we can't go to the Arctic we can't rescue any other baby animals we can't do anything on this game this game stinks we are deleting it now!! And sent it doesn't let us send this review without a star we're only giving it one star but we would've given it zero stars if it would let us.
Every time we tried to open this app for our kids to play it crashed. A complete waste of money.
We downloaded this app for our kids to play. Since it's the "lite" version we don't expect full functionality but we do expect to be able to play some of the app. Wrong!!! You get to watch a very short introduction video and then the "game" starts. If you try to do anything it tells you to upgrade. We want to see at least some of the game before we spend any money but this version just tells you to upgrade. AVOID.
We LOVE THIS GAME SOOOOOO MUCH….we used to play it when we were little!!! We LOVE IT….we think they shoul make the circus one.
We were beyond happy to see these games in the app store. We were recently reminiscing about how big of a part these games played in our childhood and how we wish the next generation would have them too. We didnt think theyd be updated for modern computers so to see it on the appstore was a real treat! We were emotional while playing. The graphics are the same which is so perfect. Thank you.
This brought back our childhood. Thank you so so much. You have our money. Now bring the other games back too.
This was awesome when we got it ten years ago and it's still awesome on the iPad!!! :D.
It's just as we remember it as a child. Brings back so many memories.
Putt-putt was our childhood game since we were a little girl. We would always play this game everyday on our mom's computer. We were so excited when we found out that you guys have an app of putt-putt saves the zoo and putt-putt travels through time we couldn't download them any faster then we could. We love it when old childhood games come back to life and you can play them on any smart phone, iPad or iPod touch. This game brings back a lot of memories to us and how much we enjoyed playing it when we were little.
These games were our childhood. Period. Played 'em since we were 3! You guys are amazing and should TOTALLY do these ones: Pajama Sam 1, Pajama Sam 3, putt putt joins the circus, putt putts one stop fun shop (would be awesome with photos integration and stuff!), putt putts balloon o Rama, and spy fox 2&3!! We know thats a lot but they're just suggestions. Looking forward to more great classics, thanks again :].
We were in love with these games! And you should add putt putt joins the parade (our fav (; and putt putt goes to space.
We used to love these games as a kid and still do! Please keep bringing them back and making them available on the ipad.
Pleaseeeee do Putt-Putt Joins the Parade!! It was our absolute favorite.
They sure don't make games like they used to — we remember being a kid and playing this game, as well as most of the others this company put out. This game gave us hours and hours of joy and learning when we were little!! We're thrilled that they've released these for iOS – now today's kids will have some QUALITY educational (and FUN) games to play. It's really amazing how different this game is from all the modern stuff out there. The animation work is just so lively and fun, and every little thing is clickable, resulting in clever little amusing gags and such. All hand animated too – you can really feel the soul of the animators in here. Very different from all these computer animated things nowadays. We could go on and on, but please, do your kids a favor and introduce them to Putt-putt and friends.
We love any putt putt game we used to have on on the computer and it was our favorite thing ever!!!! (and it still is ;p).
This game brings us back to our child hood XD. Used love puttputt Still do. Great demo.
This wonderful little taste of the game introduces you to the rich, colorful world of Putt-Putt and his friends. Meet Mr. Baldini, Outback Al and others, sing along with the topiary creatures and tap on objects in each beautiful scene to bring them to life. Find out about the missing baby animals and view the map of the zoo's Grasslands, Jungle land and Ice land. Welcome to the Zoo.
We got it because we have the computer game and thought, well hey, it is free and looks fun so why not? Awful!!!!!! We wasn't impressed at all. Good graphics, but we only got a demo. It took us to the fun part and then stopped. We'd enjoy it more if it were all free! Please make it free and then it'll get an awesome rating! :(.
We loved this game hen we were a kid but when we downloaded the app there was no sound, so it was a little disappointing.
