Putt-Putt Goes To The Moon is a 1993 video game and the second of seven adventure games in the Putt-Putt series developed and published by Humongous Entertainment. It is also the last game in the series to use pixel art graphics.

Plot

Putt-Putt and Pep are invited by a scientist named Mr. Firebird to visit his Fireworks Factory. At the factory, Pep chases a butterfly, only to cause a firecracker to emerge and launch Putt-Putt into outer space. Putt-Putt lands on the Moon, where he begins searching for a way to return home.

As Putt-Putt explores the Moon, he falls off an unstable bridge but is rescued by a lunar rover called Rover, who was left stranded on the Moon by astronauts. Rover then takes Putt-Putt to a nearby city called Moon City, where a rocket is on sale. The owners of the rocket give Putt-Putt a blueprint that shows all of the parts that are needed to fix it. Putt-Putt then sets out to collect these parts with Rover's help. After buying and fixing the rocket, Putt-Putt and Rover return to Earth, where Putt-Putt reunites with his friends and introduces them to Rover.

Gameplay
