### 2/5 — Ruined by newest update

*2025-03-25*

Game now freezes the arrow every once in a while. Have to restart the game after. While I’m happy there are now save file options, it does not help that this a point and click adventure that is functioning only half the time. Also, the game was better in when the graphics fit the screen, but they made the visuals smaller.

### 5/5 — MY BOY WOODWARD

*2025-01-12, version 1.5.4*

WOODWARD HAS MY WHOLE HEART THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE TWINK OF A WOODEN TRUCK

### 1/5 — not worth it

*2024-12-19*

i personally loved this game when i was little
my sister got it and we played it all day everyday. thought it would be fun to relive old memories, i was wrong. it won’t load it starts off going good and then it just freezes. the game still continues but i cant click anything so i cant move on in the game. can’t even get past the first scene. this game is so not worth $5

### 1/5 — Broken. This ‘update’ steals the working version of the game.

*2024-11-29*

The Humongous games mean everything to me. I want to support them. However, this game is completely unplayable with the new engine. It's upsetting that I purchased one product that was reliable to one day wake up to a completely new product. It wasn't just an update, it's essentially an entirely new app running on something that doesn't work. I wish I could get my money back since I had my old product basically stolen from me through the update. The same thing is happening to ALL the apps that have recieved this 'update' (app switching. Feels criminal.) Game crashes around every 10 clicks on iPad Pro-- you will be unable to click anything. Sometimes it fixes itself when you exit and return to the app, but most of the time it doesn't. You have to save often and reload if you want to progress at all since when you close the game it does not save your current stage (unlike in the old version) Frustrates the heck out of my toddler, who I'm trying to introduce to my childhood games. Here's what you should all do instead of buying this: Extract the .HE0, .HE1, .HE3 and .HE4 files from your old Humongous CD Roms on your computer, transfer them onto your iPad on properly named folders. (I.E. the HE0,HE1,HE3,HE4 you extracted from Putt Putt Travels Through Time, you put in it's own folder titled ike the game) Then install ScummVM's iPad and import your games that way.

### 1/5 — Completely broken since 'update' and new engine.

### 5/5 — Update unusable

*2024-11-19*

There was an update that made the game no longer full screen and much smaller and harder to see and use. Please revert the update, the smaller game screen is awful! We need full screen back.

### 5/5 — No sound people

*2024-10-13*

Make sure you take your phone off silent mode and it should work!

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2024-09-27*

I love this game, but unfortunately it’s unusable because of how often it becomes unresponsive.

### 1/5 — i’m crying

*2024-08-14*

### 1/5 — Listen to reviews- NO SOUND

*2024-06-07*

There are reviews from 4+ years saying no sound. Thought by now it would be fixed, but no. No sound. Very disappointed.
