positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably the best Putt-Putt game along with Saves the Zoo. It has a bigger and more fun cast of characters than most of the Putt-Putt games and there's a bit more problem solving. It's still a very easy 45 minute game for children, but in terms of reliving your early youth, this is one of the ones to pick up.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →During the late 90’s/early 2000’s Humongous Entertainment released an absolutely fantastic stream of “edutainment” point and click adventures for children. These titles focus on a range of light academics including basic geography, basic to upper elementary level mathematics, logical thinking, critical thinking and puzzle solving, topped off with reinforcement of good manners and polite social etiquette. At the lower end of the age spectrum, they may require some adult supervision and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truly a masterpiece of a bygone era. I can't tell you how much this game has impacted me, emotionally and spiritually. Forget Halo, Overwatch, DOOM and the rest. Bartholomew Bart's Peanut Challenge is the best first person shooter experience available. Ask yourself, "am I even a real gamer if I haven't achieved level 10 in the Peanut Challenge?" If you haven't, you need to buy Putt-Putt Joins the Circus immediately. The immersion is unmatched. The characters represent the worst and best part of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My son really liked this game. Standard help one NPC in order to help another NPC gameplay, but it was able to hold his attention and provide just enough challenge so that he didn't lose interest.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most transformative, eye opening, and world shattering games. Thank you Putt Putt for showing me that the people who own circuses lose everything and make a kid go on fetch quests to find papers and saws.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game, despite it having a few hiccups. For example, unlike Travels Through Time and Enteres The Race, it has no item randomization, a step-back gameplay vise. But I do think despite that its a fun first playthrough, almost feels like Freddi Fish 5 in terms of gameplay(but easier). it feels long enough, and you get to see tons of characters, heck even two characters who tell jokes felt the most funny duo compared to all other Putt Putt games. Not much to say, if you enjoyed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the Putt-Putt games I had as a kid. It was cool then and now to see some returning characters and meet a whole new cast of new faces. One thing that did stick out to me now and then was Putt-Putt himself. His voice changed. Granted, this isn't the first game where that occurred--that was Putt-Putt Enters the Race, but I didn't have that one as a kid. So, back then, I just had to wonder why Putt-Putt sounded like a completely different person. Little did I know that the voice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best of the series. The game has had a visual glow-up, voice acting is strong and there's a varied cast of entertaining characters, mostly without re-use from earlier games. Puzzles feel somewhat meaningful, judged well for a game aimed at children.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game saved my life. I am 31. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my games hand.. the hand that I held and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Putt-Putt 6 (aka Putt-Putt Joins The Circus) is an ancient collection of childrens minigames made using the ScummVM engine. The minigames have a circus/carnival games theme and feature various Putt-Putt universe characters. The minigames are wrapped in a LucasArts style ScummVM point and click adventure game veneer. There's nothing wrong with the general idea, but this game is over 25 years old, it's ancient. 4:3, fixed resolution (looks like VGA). Weirdly, the devs have patched it from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had to buy this cos i played it as a kid and its just as good as i remembered, 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took me a while to beat but worth it. Cool secrets!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game near and dear to my heart. I first played the Putt-Putt games, along with a few other Humongous titles, as a young child, and years later picked up the entire collection to some day share with my family once young kids enter the picture. I still have fond memories of playing this game with my brother on our father's Windows 95 machine, and decided to boot the game up for a nostalgia trip. I have to say, the production value of these games is such that I have no doubt in their…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yep, it's a circus and yep, I enjoy playing this game still like 17 years later. Changing Putt-Putt's car color was the best part, and I don't care who says otherwise. Green Putt-Putt? Yep, sign me up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute entry in the Putt-Putt series!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know this game like the back of my hand. I got it on a disc in a cereal box when I was about 6 or 7 and played the hell out of it I used to beat this game multiple times in one sitting sometimes but as an adult putt putt just doesn’t hold up like other humongous entertainment games the characters are annoying it has no challenge what so ever its boring and stale unless your under 10 I’d pass on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PUBAGOO! PUBAGOO! PUBAGOO!!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs with zero issues another great putt putt
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played a lot of this one as a kid, I think I liked the circus aesthetics a lot. Now a days, I see it as a weaker entry of the series, not bad by any means, its still fun but doesn't hit the same as the others.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really good game that sorta feels like Save The Zoo in almost everyway so feels unoriginal at times. Everything you did in Save The Zoo will be done here such as a middle path that branches into smaller ones, meeting the character you need to save then figure out the puzzle to help them etc however i feel the Festival Theme is done incredibly well, bursting with colour and charm that feels really nice to look at and it all feels consistent which is great. Not the most original Putt Putt…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Putt-Putt Joins the Circus is honestly not one of Humongous Entertainment's better titles. For one thing, its plot is way too similar to Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo (in fact this game actually would have been called "Putt-Putt Saves the Circus" until HE changed it). Also, this game lacks alternate puzzles that earlier HE games (including Putt-Putt Travels Through Time and Putt-Putt Enters the Race) had. The music and voice performances aren't very lively either. However, that doesn't mean this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Putt-Putt never gets old! 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the aminals is dumb but i love them anyway!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The last good-ish, for Putt-Putt standards at least (which means mainly for children and not so much for adults), entry, though there is not really anything special to this one compared to the rest (from "Putt-Putt: Saves the zoo" onwards).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game for all ages.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game since Putt Putt 3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember tiny bits of this, I loved this so much :D! It was easier for me than some others.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still Putt Putt, still decent. I found this one to be a bit bigger then the rest, or at least that's how it felt. The new voice actor I probably will never get used to.
