![]() His voice acting here is more in line with how he would sound in Putt-Putt's future offerings. On the one hand, Putt-Putt's voice actor, Jason Ellefson, seems to have learned a thing or two about acting in the year that passed since his first role at Humongous. The voice acting also leaves some room for improvement. It would take a few more years for Humongous to fully embrace the randomization concept originally introduced there. It doesn't help that the game is always the same on every playthrough, in contrast with Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise. There are many locations that exist only to play around with various gimmicks, while doing nothing to advance progress. In general, the game doesn't do a very good job at incorporating much of its world into the puzzle-solving process. They were still right in the middle of this period during this game's development, and as such, the puzzles are once again very simplistic, with many of them taking place only on a single screen. This was probably done due to uncertainty over how much they could expect young children to figure out on their own. Compared to their later years, Humongous initially approached things very carefully when it came to puzzle difficulty. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of things that hold this game back. Because the game gets surprisingly hard as it goes on, and not just by the standards of a kids game. It's probably the only minigame in the Junior Adventures that allows you to save. The game is also notable for the inclusion of Bear Stormin', one of Humongous' more substantial minigames. The music really enhances the game's already playfully surreal atmosphere, while also having a really strong sense of rhythm (in contrast to Tom McMail's far more simplistic compositions for Humongous' previous titles). I find George Sanger to be a very inconsistent composer (at least judging by his work for Humongous and Hulabee Entertainment), but he was absolutely in his element here. You can tell that the artists in particular were clearly having fun coming up with all sorts of weird and colorful buildings and characters.Īnd the soundtrack deserves special mention here. It gives the game a much more surreal atmosphere, which does a lot to make it more memorable. Though this process would take them a few more years to complete, this game already shows some signs of progress compared to Putt-Putt's rougher first offering.Īfter the relatively mundane settings of the first two games, this game's setting offers a real breath of fresh air. Over the course of these games, you can see Humongous gradually getting the hang of things and finding their style.
