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.
Plot
Putt-Putt goes to the new Cartown Zoo only to find that it is not ready for the grand opening, because six baby animals are lost somewhere around the zoo grounds including Baby Jambo the elephant, Masai the giraffe, Kenya the lion cub, Zanzibar the hippopotamus, Sammy Seal, and Little Skeeter the snake. It is up to Putt-Putt and his trusty pet dog Pep to return the baby animals to their rightful exhibits.
Gameplay
The game mechanics are pretty much 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.
