Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo is a 1995 video game and the third of seven adventure games in the Putt-Putt series of games developed and published by Humongous Entertainment. The animation style also changed with this game and becomes much more refined, in contrast to the computer-like style of the past two games. The game was reissued in 1999. On November 15, 2011, the game became the first Humongous Entertainment game to be rereleased for iOS and Google Play.^[3] Developed by Nimbus Games Inc. in April 2013, the iOS version of this game released by Atari was discontinued.

Mar 28, 2019  Between Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon and Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, Humongous Entertainment released Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds.Besides introducing a new franchise, that game also introduced higher quality paper-based animation. In 1995, these advancements were applied to the Putt-Putt series, resulting in a much prettier adventure game, if not one much more. Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Humongous Entertainment in 1995. It is the third game in the Putt-Putt series. It was also released in Canada in December 2006 and a Russian version was released in January 2007.

Plot[edit]

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo is one of the earlier Putt-Putt adventures, but it still holds up even when compared against his later games. The usual Humongous staples are there: the bouncy music, the engaging characters, and the sillly hot spots.

It's the day of the grand opening of the Cartown Zoo. Putt-Putt and his dog drive into to visit Mr. Baldini before attending the ceremonies. After saying hello, Mr. Baldini asks Putt-Putt if he can take some Zoo Chow to Outback Al, the new zookeeper. Putt-Putt agrees and makes his way to the Cartown Zoo. The zoo is still closed and Putt-Putt enters after the front gates are opened by Outback Al.

After Putt-Putt delivers the bag of Zoo Chow, Outback Al mentions that the zoo is in quite a mess and is not ready to be opened. He explains how many of the exhibits still need fixing. On top of that, six baby zoo animals have gone missing. Putt-Putt offers to help by finding the missing animals. Outback Al is relieved and gives Putt-Putt a list of the missing animals: Baby Jambo the elephant, Masai the giraffe, Kenya the lion cub, Zanzibar the hippo, Sammy Seal, and Little Skeeter the snake. Putt-Putt must find these six baby animals and save the zoo.

After all six baby animals are rescued, Outback Al announces the opening of the Cartown Zoo to all the other cars. He even gives Putt-Putt the Junior zookeeper award and allows him to cut the ribbon. The zoo is officially opened for everyone to enjoy.

Gameplay[edit]

The game mechanics are almost the same as its prequels including the glove box inventory, horn, radio and accelerator. Putt-Putt can acquire a camera so the player can take pictures of the animals and print them out.

Reception[edit]

The combined sales of Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, Putt-Putt Joins the Parade and Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon surpassed one million units by June 1997.^[7] During the year 2001 alone, Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo sold 100,972 retail units in North America, according to PC Data.^[8]
