Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo is a nostalgia trip that holds up remarkably well in the modern era. Humongous Entertainment were the kings of point-and-click adventures for kids, and this title is the jewel in their crown. The transition to touch controls feels completely natural—it’s actually more intuitive for a child to tap an object than it was to use a mouse.
The hand-drawn animation is timeless, and the voice acting for Putt-Putt is as charming as ever. The puzzles are perfectly pitched for the target age group: logical but requiring a bit of exploration. It’s an educational, heartwarming, and genuinely fun experience that lacks the cynical microtransactions found in many modern 'kids' games. A must-buy for parents.
Available on: iPhone, iPad
