Community Insight:
They just made a TERRIBLE update to this game (and a few other putt putt games and pajama sam) that have HUGE load, save, and skip buttons when the game used to be full screen! Please fix it and let the game go full screen again! Awful update we're so upset.
This is such a nostalgic game for us and we love it but it keeps freezing on us and we have to start all over again :( please fix it.
Im not happy with this new update. It doesnt fill the screen. Its tiny and the load and save buttons stay on the screen. We wish we could go back to what it was before.
What is up with the new ui on iPad devices? Its so small, and no longer in full screen?? Not enjoyable to play like this, please revert back or add an option to switch between both UIs.
Loved this game as a kid and it was really fun to go back to as an adult- you need to have your ringer on for the sound though idk if thats the issue a bunch of other people are having.
:: we used to LOVE this game as a kid, and we were ecstatic when our friend told us it was on iPhone!! So, of course we promptly downloaded it, and. BAM! Immediate punch in the face with nostalgia. We saw a bunch of complaints about no sound, but the sound worked just fine for us. However, some of the subtitles didnt match what putt-putt was saying, and that kinda annoyed us. Overall, this was amazing! We did complete it in like, nine minutes though, So we wish it was a teensy bit more complex, and that there were more animals. Still amazingly nostalgic though! Five stars. ::.
This game is really fun for kids But.. We saved all the animals This game cost with dollars. Our mom installed that. This game is fun.
Putt Putt was one of our very first friends as a kid and Im so glad its on the App Store to revisit those memories we loved so much back then. The controls were a little hard to figure out at first as far as where to click to move around but once you get the hang of it, its pretty easy. So happy these are on the App Store!! Graphics and nice and clear.
Do we need to say anything?No ok.
Used to play on our computer as a kid, cant believe they made it into a app! This was one of our favorite games! Everything is working good for us :).
When we were a child, this game was our favorite entry in the Putt Putt series. We have fond memories of playing this game for hours on end on our familys old CRT (tube) desktop computer. We are pleased to say the game has aged beautifully and looks crisp on a modern, HD display. As for gameplay, it is a bit different from the original keyboard and mouse controls, but it is still very much playable (and enjoyable). 5/5 s.
We cant believe we just found Putt Putt Saves the Zoo on the App Store and Im crying! Money. Well. Spent. Itd be GREAT if Richard Scarrys Busytown game was on the App now.
Putt Putt, Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam games were part of our childhood. Playing these games actually make us sad a bit because we miss our younger days.
This was our favorite game growing up, we played it in school. We saved all the baby animals and now we just need to save Sammy, but when we try to grab the toolbox putt-putt just continues talking and itll stay like that doesnt matter how long we wait, and wont let us click on anything as well when we try to grab it. Other than that we love putt-putt games a lot.
Ok, we figured out that to get the sound to work, you have to turn your ringer on (the switch on side of phone should not show orange). Kind of a bug, but not impossible to get around.
This game brought back great memories, but thats it. Nothing new has been added, it is the exact same. We love this game but for 4.99, it seems like a rip off.
We loved this game as a kid, so we bought it for our niece. The game works but there is no sound.
We were really excited to play this game but the sound is broken. We cant hear anything.
The Humongous Entertainment games do not work properly at all on our iPhone 13. There is no audio at all, and Im not even able to request a refund from Apple for some reason. This app a complete scam preying on peoples good childhood memories.
We turned our phone on and off multiple times and our audio still wont work in the app we spent $10 on two of the games in hopes to relive our childhood but without sound its honestly not worth playing.
Was so excited to play this but theres no sound, very disappointing.
Title says it all, especially since it's advertised in Putt-Putt saves the Zoo. Update 3 Junior Field Trips games (Airport; Jungle; Farm).
Hello. Our name is Mr. X. And, we are about to admit that Ive played these games as a child and loved them so much. Eventually, we moved on to other stuff as an adult, but when we found out that Putt Putt is available on iOS and not just PC, we were super happy. Thank you Apple and thank you Humongous Entertainment for giving us the opportunity to reunite with our childhood favorites! Also, Welcome to the zoo is our favorite Putt-Putt song.
We absolutely loved playing this game as a kid. Putt-Putt and Freddie Fish were our favorite. It's just as fun as 21. Brings back so many memories and the games have a great storyline.
We loved these games as a kid and now we love that we can play them on our apple devices as an adult! We wish that they were made for the apple tv! We want to play them and let us baby watch! He would love it.
How stupid is it to buy a game and then the sound doesn't work!!?? Support doesn't even email you back to solve the issue or anything. So dumb.
We wanted to play this with our son, but there's no audio unless you use headphones. Screen mirroring doesn't do it either.
What a joke. Useless, no audio.
We love this game worth $5 any day! Doesn't ask more more money or anything like the lite version.
The Putt Putt series and frankly all the Humongous entertainment apps are really fun and educational for children of all ages. We highly recommend purchasing and playing them with your child, start with Putt Putt saves the zoo and let your child explore and have fun while learning at the same time.
We are disappointed in this game. We bought three of these for our daughter and every single one of them the volume doesn't work.
Touch sensing is swapped horizontally, please fix. Didn't have this issue before recent patch on 03/15.
We bought the game a few days ago for our toddler. It worked once all the way through and then the sound stopped working. We tried resetting the game and then tried uninstalling and reinstalling. The sound still won't work. Help.
This is a great game! Just as good as PBG says! We loved it.
This really brings back so many memories! Humongous Entertainment games were such a huge part of our childhood, and for that matter they were common family activities at our house when we were a kid. It's so great to see that so many of the Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, and Freddi Fish games that we and our sister used to play and love are now on the App Store. Bravo, HE; thank you for reminding us of the good old days! :).
It all seems to work fine but there is absolutely no audio. We've gone into the games settings and it all seems to be on. But still no audio. IPhone 5s. Software is updated.
Well we did the upgrade and now it doesn't work. We have deleted it and reloaded it but still messed up. We love this game. Please fix. Thanks.
2 nights in a row we have stayed up playing ice hockey and we can not remember having more fun with a iPad. Hurry up with goes to the moon, you guys are the best. <(^^<) <(^-^)> (>^^)>.
We love playing this game but since the update we can't click on anything in our car. We can't get out the items to complete the game Please fix so we can play again If fixed it is a 5 star game.
Anything that goes in the car stays in the car. We can't access any of the tools to save the animals.
We feel as though any review we could give this game would not do it proper justice, so we shall use a quote from the game.
One of our favorite games of our childhood, we used to love all these games, so charming! Every little thing brings back memories. Thank you.
We played this game on the computer when we were a kid. The app is exactly the same as the game was! It's so perfect. We almost cried when we saw that all of this company's games are now apps!! Who ever had the idea to make them apps is a freaking genus.
We're a 16 year old male, we loved playing these games when we were little and we flipped when we found it on the iOS, this was our favorite and so was pajama sam: you are what you eat from your head to your feet. This game brought back wonderful memories.
We are now twenty and remember playing this game when we were very young! Just like how we remember, we were nearly in tears playing we were so nostalgic. It obviously easy to play now, but worth it for old times sake. Can't wait to show our brother at the next family get together.
This game is exactly how it was when we played it years ago. We wish they would make the Putt Putt Goes to the Moon one next! That was our favorite when we were a kid.
We loved this game when we were a kid and they haven't changed anything. Great for kids(and adults).
We love zelda. Zelda is so fun. Get this game!!! ZELDA.
There wasn't a single thing different between the original computer game and this iOS remake. It made us insanely happy to reply this after so long.
We're glad that this game was put back on the US market but PLEASE FIX the Game Center badges! You accomplish a task and no badge :(.
