Surprisingly very charming. I would have loved this game as a child. The soundtrack in particular is really good, and the characters and art are generally cute. Very strong contender for a young child's first point and click adventure game.
I don't know how my 8 yr/o self could finish this one without understanding the assignment but I went back again as an adult to play and finally got to learn what had happened.
Still had so much fun mixing the fireworks.

ย้อนวัยกลับไปเล่นเกมที่ตัวเองเคยเล่นตอนยังเป็นเด็กน้อย ภาพกราฟิกแบบพิกเซล เกมตั้งแต่ปี 1993 สมัยคอมพิวเตอร์ยังเป็นระบบ DOS ไม่น่าเชื่อว่าก็ยังจำได้หลายฉาก สนุกแบบเด็ก ๆ อะ เพลินดี
แนวเกมพัทพัทคือเป็น point&click แก้ปริศนาไปเรื่อย ๆ เนื้อเรื่องก็คือพัทพัทกับเพ็พ (หมาของพัทพัท) ไปดวงจันทร์แล้วต้องหาทางกลับบ้านให้ได้ เกมเล่นแป๊บเดียวก็จบละ

It may have been extremely simple, but the original Putt-Putt game, Putt-Putt Joins the Parade, was still what I would consider a good edutainment game. It was colorful, had bouncy music, a charm about it that I couldn’t place with many other titles, and it was easy enough to where young players could easily jump into it and have a great time with it. And hey, the game was successful enough to where it would not only continue to get installments for years to come after that title, but it would also be the main mascot series for Humongous Entertainment. Quite impressive for a game about a stupid-ass purple car. But anyways, for their next installment in this series, they would be taking Putt-Putt out of Cartown, and throw him into the stars, which would result in the next game which would be released just a year later, Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon.
When I reviewed the original game, my one “complaint” about the whole thing was that the game was pretty standard when you took everything into account. Not only was the entire game pretty straightforward with what you needed to do (which makes complete sense, but worth pointing out anyway), but the setting and scenario in general was just pretty boring. It could entertain a VERY young audience, but not too many others. Thankfully though, with this game, not only are we traveling to the moon, but we also get to see the many wonders of space, which makes for a much more interesting game to play and watch. However… it is still just more Putt-Putt at the end of the day. It changes practically nothing about its gameplay when compared to the original game, and it could be seen as more straightforward then the previous game, but again, for younger players and big fans of Putt-Putt, it can still be fun for how short it can be.
The story is, once again, spelled out to you in the title, but it still remains pretty fun for an edutainment game, and there is a little more there then just Putt-Putt going to the moon, the graphics are pretty much the exact same as the original game, but it still manages to look good, and since it mainly takes place in space, there are a lot more interesting characters and things to see, the music is, once again, pretty pleasant and welcoming in many occasions, while also changing up to fit whatever scenario is occurring in the game, the control is the exact same as the original, so moving on, and the gameplay is almost identical to that of the original game, except this time in brand new world with brand new things to do.
The game is, once again, a point-’n-click adventure game, where you take control of Putt-Putt, now accompanied by Pep from the previous game, explore many different areas both on Earth and on the Moon, click on literally anything you see to either see what anything does or try to find some way to advance forward in your quest, gather plenty of items that can be useful to helping you out on your journey, and play plenty of simplistic minigames if you get tired of the main game at any point. If this all sounds extremely familiar to you, that is because it is pretty much the exact same as the previous game. Nothing about the gameplay is changed up whatsoever from the original, which may not bother much younger players all that much, but it could bother other kids who want more from their game about a talking car going to space (kids are picky, what can I say).
Like I mentioned earlier though, I think I do prefer this game to the original overall just because it has a much more interesting premise and setting. Not to say that the premise of the original game was bad, and the setting was fine for what it was, but it was all so mundane, and while everything around it was all appropriately wacky and silly, it was all still pretty standard, basically just being like real life except with, you know, car people. Now that we are in space and on the moon, there are many different types of alien creatures to see and futuristic things to interact with. Yes, a lot of it is structured around common conventions that we use, but it is still made just that little more interesting for the audience playing it. But, with that being said, if you don’t give a shit about space or aliens, and you didn’t really vibe with the gameplay of the previous, then this definitely won’t convince you otherwise.
Overall, despite changing practically nothing about the base game and how you complete it, I would say that this game is slightly better than the original Putt-Putt just because of the more interesting setting and characters that you can find and interact with. I would definitely recommend it as a game you can give to your kid to play and enjoy, as it would definitely keep them busy for quite some time and keep them entertained all the way. Although, with that being said, I have to ask a question: I can understand why Putt-Putt doesn’t suffocate in space, cause he is a car, but how come Pep doesn’t just straight up die while on the moon? Last time I checked, the moon doesn’t have oxygen, so he definitely would not have survived that trip.

Fuck you putt-putt you ain't freddi or pajama sam or spy fox
Tbh, maybe a little less than Joins the Parade because I think there is just nothing interesting to do, and even more bare bones than before.
I can see how this is often considered an improvement over the prequel Joins The Parade, but the result, to me, feels more like a weaker Freddi Fish than a Putt-Putt game. The game is much more direct about its puzzles this time around, puzzles that don't have many steps and sometimes you'll even get the answer straight up spelled out to you. Plus, there's less interesting stuff to do in the world, which feels a lot more obtuse due to being based on space unlike the more grounded Cartown.
