the game known as putt putt

Putt Putt is a series of children's adventure and puzzle computer games created by Humongous Entertainment. This franchise was Humongous Entertainment's first game series to be developed. They primarily involve clicking to get to a destination, although some sub quests and mini games involve the keyboard. The main character, Putt Putt, an anthropomorphic purple convertible, and his dog, Pep, travel to various locations.

Putt Putt was originally thought up by Shelley Day as a series of bedtime stories for her son, Travis; the first story involved Putt Putt saving a cat caught in a tree. Child actor Jason Ellefson did Putt Putt's voice for the first eight of the games. In the next three games, Nancy Cartwright (of The Simpsons fame) voiced Putt Putt. Michelle Thorson voiced Putt Putt in Pep's Birthday Surprise. The games are supported by ScummVM and thus can be played on other platforms such as handhelds. Humongous has brought several Putt Putt and other titles to iOS and Android. In 1997, Humongous made an agreement with Lancit Media Entertainment to create an animated TV series titled "Putt Putt 'n Pals", along with movies and home video releases. Ultimately, the deal fell through. Several games from the original series were later re released by Humongous on Steam in April 2014, alongside games from the Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, and Spy Fox series. The first two games used pixel art graphics; starting with the third game, the series uses hand drawn animation.

Players can change Putt Putt's color to original purple, red, orange, yellow, green or blue. All colors can be painted on again. This also changes the color of the dashboard in Putt Putt Enters the Race and Putt Putt Joins the Circus. However, in Putt Putt Joins the Parade and Putt Putt Enters the Race, each color change costs three coins that can be collected in the game world. In Putt Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise, Putt Putt's color can only be changed temporarily before reverting to purple after some traveling. His color can also be changed in certain levels of Putt Putt and Pep's Balloon o Rama by using Pep to pop certain balloons tied to paint buckets, then catching the bucket containing the desired color as it falls to change Putt Putt to.

For Steam the games were released as single games, or bundled together in the "Putt Putt Complete Pack" or came packaged with all Humongous Entertainment games in "Humongous Entertainment Complete Pack". Humongous Entertainment released a CD titled "Humongous Entertainment Triple Treat", which included Putt Putt Saves the Zoo, Pajama Sam's Sock Works and Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds. Humongous Entertainment released a CD titled "Humongous Entertainment Triple Treat 2", which included Putt Putt Travels Through Time, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside and Freddi Fish and Luther's Maze Madness. Humongous Entertainment released a "Putt Putt Fun & Learning Kindergarten Edition" package with a Putt Putt notebook and a CD that included Putt Putt Saves the Zoo and Big Thinkers Kindergarten. Putt Putt and Pep's Balloon O Rama was released for Windows and Macintosh on a compilation CD titled "Super Duper Arcade 1", along with Spy Fox in: Cheese Chase, Pajama Sam's Sock Works and Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries. Putt Putt and Pep's Dog on a Stick was released for Windows and Macintosh on a compilation CD titled "Super Duper Arcade 2", along with Spy Fox in: Hold the Mustard, Pajama Sam's Lost & Found and Freddi Fish and Luther's Maze Madness. Putt Putt Travels Through Time was released on the Nintendo Switch eShop alongside Freddi Fish 3: The Case of the Stolen Conch Shell in January 2022. The next month, Putt Putt Saves the Zoo was released alongside Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside, Pajama Sam: Thunder and Lightning Aren't so Frightening, and Spy Fox in Dry Cereal.
