I've been playing through all of the Humongous adventures to fill in some blind spots I have in the studio's body of work, and I was wondering when the older games would start to feel like they fit that specific H.E. feeling. Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon definitely feels like the first!
This game has a lot more to do than the first Putt-Putt or Fatty Bear, and the 'go on an adventure & complete a task list' gameplay feels fully cooked. While the previous two games had some of the DNA of the formula, the blueprint of the rocket parts and the setting really feel like the later H.E. that I grew up with in Pajama Sam and Freddi Fish.
More environments, more character, more charm, and more to do! Happy to see how quickly H.E. figured themselves out. Bless Ron Gilbert.
