### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE YOUR GAME

*2025-02-10*

Like all my items were gone. So if you update your game like Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo I will be satisfied

Thank you

### 3/5 — Glitches

*2019-11-12*

It glitches while cutting a tire patch. I find this game hard to play because of technical things. Some of these thing where probably never an issue on pc. Switching it to be an app must be a daunting task. I’m sure developers did their best, but some things are better with a mouse and keyboard.

### 2/5 — Great, but...

*2018-10-23, version 1.1.9*

The patch cutting minigame is impossible to complete, making the game unfinishable. The scissors will immediately cut to any place you touch. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Update please

*2018-05-18*

Please fix the skip option.  The skip option seems to not be working.

### 2/5 — Fix the issue

*2017-12-02, version 1.1.9*

When you’re cutting out the tire patch it’s impossible to do please fix it

### 2/5 — Keeps restarting

*2016-08-18*

My kids love the putt putt games, but the game keeps crashing and restarting and they lose everything they just searched for and have to start from the beginning.

### 3/5 — Mouse problems

*2016-03-15*

I really like putt putt games. They have fun in game games and are a great way to teach through play
However
Curser tracking problems are driving me spare let alone letting my 3-5 yr olds on this.
Fix it please

### 2/5 — Broken

*2016-01-24*

I loved this game as a kid so I decided to buy it to play it again for fun, but every time i get to rover to get the milk the whole game restarts and I have to start all over again. If they would fix that it would be a great game

### 4/5 — Great but glitch needs fixing

*2015-08-17*

Great game but the recycling bottle glitch is super annoying. Is possible to play the game and avoid recycling bottles but to get the most out of the game you kinda need them...

### 2/5 — Fix the Glitches!

*2015-05-05, version 1.0.0*

There's a glitch in which a pop up appears: Error (Marmalade v7.2.0 [370005]) [22,2061] Actor 0 out of range (min 1, max 61) 

And then the game quits and you have to start all over. Very frustrating for my young kids who were excited to get another Putt-Putt app. This app cost $5, please fix this!! I used to play these games myself as a kid.

*2019-04-18, version 1.1.9*

Waste of Money!!!  There’s no sound, you have to be able to read the subtitles, which my kids can’t yet :/

### 1/5 — Can’t play.

*2019-03-03*

If you get this game, don’t expect to ever finish it. There is a part where you have to cut out a tire patch, and it’s impossible to complete. I used to love this game as a kid, but this was a complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2016-06-28, version 1.1.7*

What is it with the arrow going the opposite way? It makes it impossible to play!

### 1/5 — Putt putt enter the race

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2024-07-16*

My mom bought me the Putt Putt games as a little kid, and were so much fun.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2023-08-17*

An incredible job converting the game to a touch screen device! I wish the side game I side the toy store was playable, but everything else works perfectly. I hope it’s not too late to request a patch for the side game!

### 5/5 — Amazing game for kids

*2017-04-27*

I used to play these games when I was there some amazing games

### 5/5 — The Pinnacle of the Putt-Putt Series

*2015-11-05*

Putt-Putt was the first series by Humongous Entertainment and helped pave the way for success. The best Putt-Putt game is 'Enters the Race' because of the following features: An incredible race with full interaction at the game's end, multiple puzzles to solve, randomly selected game paths, high quality 2D artwork, full exploration of Cartown, the return of Rover from the second game and educational elements such as money earning, animals, recycling and driving. It would be nice to see some native programming rather than the ScummVM emulation which has various mistakes.

### 5/5 — Awesome but...

*2015-08-26*

Please please please make the games cheaper! I will buy them when they become cheaper.

### 5/5 — Putt-Putt Enters the Race an Ace

*2014-11-05, version 1.0.0*

I have been a gamer since I was 2 years old and figured out how to hold a controller, and when I think back to gaming as a kid one game series appears before anything else. I am of course talking about Putt-Putt! Whether he was traveling through time or blasting off to the moon Putt-Putt and Humongous Entertainment's perfect mesh of education and hilarity always brought a smile to my face. Now as time went I no longer kept up with Putt-Putt and I never got a chance to play the latter games. That is until recently when I found out Humongous had made their games portable. Nostalgia on the go? Sign me up! And even better now I could try out games that were completely new to me. Needless to say I was hooked. I decided to try out Putt-Putt Enters the Race not really sure what to expect (well I figured a race was involved at some point.) Boy I was I pleasantly surprised. If you’re new to the series the game is a family friendly point and click adventure. After moving from screen to screen you’ll be presented with all sorts of details in the environment and upon clicking them something funny and zany or plot related will occur. For example in the second screen if you click on a tree stump a squirrel will jump on and do a funny little dance. The point and click aspects work perfectly on the iPhone, to no surprise.While the controls are as simple as can be the story is much more involved. Putt-Putt is given a list of things he needs to enter the race. This sends you off on an adventure where you solve problems for the citizens of car town by going mission to mission in order to reach your ultimate goal. I believe this is a great way to get kids interested in helping others, as it shows how helping others can help you too. The game also teaches such lessons as what to do if there’s a fire and how to take care of animals. I’ve always believed that the Putt-Putt series is one of the few to do edutainment correctly. However, while a mostly great games there's still has a couple of problems. The dialogue can’t be skipped, which is only a problem when you didn’t mean to talk to someone. Sometimes intractable objects need a couple tries to get working, though this usually only happens when trying to leave an area. Also I had a problem with a part of the game where you have to twice let cars tell you that you’re trying to go the wrong way while blocking the area before being able to move on which I find can be confusing for anyone, especially for a child. That being said I think this is a wonderful game. The controls for the most part are really great. The story is really fun, with missions that take you all over the neat environments. And I’ve found the art style as both a kid and an adult to be really vibrant and enjoyable to look at. I find Putt-Putt Enters the Race and the entire series in general to be the perfect games for a young audience and their parents to enjoy together. I believe this game has a staying power that a lot of games these days don’t, I know they've lasted with me and are endearing part of my childhood. If you have or know any little ones I say definitely try it out!

### 5/5 — Years of Fun

*2014-10-23*

Zane Killingsworth		5 stars	Putt-Putt Joins the race

First off I have plus this game on iPhone 4S, and 5 and the iPad air with no issues
 
I started out playing Humongous games on CD in the 90’s and have made sure to get them games into any young kids hands to make sure they kept being played. I have spent countless hours over the years revisiting these charming games Putt-Putt being my favorite. They are suited for a younger audience and the way the games change after each play through means lots of time to enjoy them. Even if they dont follow the story tapping just about anywhere causes charming animations of bugs marching across the screen a song and dance or a frog in the punch bowl swimming laps make for hours of fun exploration.
Myself and 2 sisters loved these games and even as we go off to college and start out own lives love we love to see them make their way to our phones.

### 5/5 — Classic charm for a new generation

*2014-10-23*

I have an older phone, the iPhone 4s. That being said, the game runs beautifully. No crashes, no delays, no bugs. It runs just how I remember Putt Putt from my childhood! I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a blast of nostalgia, or parents looking for a quality game for their children to play. Very fun, charming, and hard to put down!

### 5/5 — Putt-Putt always has a place in my library

*2014-10-18*

I recently purchased the Humongous Entertainment Complete Pack on Steam, but was thrilled to see that my favorite games growing up are now available on iOS too! I played this game on iPhone 5S, and it was just as fun as I remember, gorgeous old school graphics that still look and run great on new devices. I ran into no errors at all. These games were so impressive when they originally released, and I'm so glad they're getting the TLC they deserve after all these years! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys old school point and click adventure games, casual childrens puzzles, and slow-paced bright silly experiences!

### 4/5 — Good but expensive

*2016-09-13*

Its a great game. I loved it as a child but its just to expensive
