As a kid I never particularly cared for this title, though I did play it a little bit regardless. As a starter puzzle game though, it is great for kids that are just starting out in that genre of gaming. The graphics and designs are cute, and with a custom level creator, the player is allowed to show creativity and imagination in making their own levels to play through.

Putt-Putt and his friend Pep the Dog are going on an adventure! Pep found a jumping stick and is using it to catch every good treat. However, rivals are appearing, as obstacles (gums, oil stains) but Pep is resolute to be the best jumper! If you were expecting an adventure or an action game, aimed for childs, you're in the wrong: it's simply an arcade one. Indeed, there is no real plot or story: Putt-Putt is leading Pep to a level and then it's up to you to move the dog towards destination. However, while you can go straight to the finish flag, if you want to improve your score, it's highly recommended to retrieve everything: bones, chocolate, ice cream, etc.. Pep can only move diagonally: you have to imagine the level with columns of different heights and that you're jumping up and down. Sometimes, you need to make a double jump: a specific bonus is present and always at the same place. Pep will be able to make these jumps for a limited time, though if an enemy is also putting his feet on the bonus, he will benefit of the same treatment. Pep can't jump on a rival if you don't want to loose a life. Indeed, while you can earn a 1UP, you don't have infinite lives unless you're playing on the easiest difficulty. The game over will reset your score. Sometimes, you can find portals to bonus levels: there, Pep has to jump on the moving gifts but they're really tricky to reach. There is a limited time to do it, so be efficient on these. I don't know how many levels you have but you begin in a trash deposit before moving on more exotic locations (mountain, beach), etc.. It's a nice change of scenery, as the enemies are also changing and as more specific bonus or obstacles are also appearing (like the balloon which is launched everytime in the beach levels). While I don't doubt that the repetitive gameplay can be boring if you play the game without interruption, I think that children will find their joy in it: it's simple to understand and apart when Pep is falling in the void (I still don't understand how I'm managing to do it), the meeting with his rivals are kinda cute. However, there is a little problem for me: the graphics. I don't mind these as they're representative of the era of the making of the game (20 years ago already), however, like for Big Thinkers (see [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/376760/]here for the Kindergarten version[/url] and [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/376770/]here for the 1st Grade[/url]), they didn't aged well. It's not really smooth for the eye. As for the soundtrack, it's fine, though after a while, hearing the jumping stick can be quite annoying. Anyway, Dog on a Stick is a nice little arcade game for children, with a reasonable price. I suppose that if you want a more educative game, you can check Big Thinkers, from the same devs and publisher (for the reviews: [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/vicrabb/recommended/376760]Kindergarten[/url] and [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/vicrabb/recommended/376770]1st Grade[/url]).

The large degree of randomness in the later levels and stages being rendered unwinnable due to the randomness is not really worth fighting past; I don't think a kid would enjoy this game because often, failure is not your fault. Otherwise, it's kind of just Qbert. The collecting stuff part is optional and I just made a beeline to the goal playing through the entire game. 100 levels is probably a longer challenge if you actually cared about the points but there's no reason to. Probably the best of the arcades I've played up to this point, but that doesn't make it "good".

This one's mini games really. No story. Overpriced without a doubt just based on that. Combine age. This one should be listed at $0.99 forever.

Nice game for kids to play and express their creativity ( creating custom maps etc).

Honest Review for Putt-Putt® and Pep's Dog on a Stick: This is a game I have recommended to all of my friends who I know, in fact i bought it for one of them. Who knew such a simplistic game could have such an impact on anybodys life. I think that all of the Putt-Putt games are a work of art, but Putt-Putt® and Pep's Dog on a Stick is the Mona Lisa of the Putt-Putt Series. The Gameplay is amazing and the how the characters act and talk make me feel like I am actually in the Game. Putt-Putt is such an engrossing character you cannot even begin to comprehend how much I love that car. If I had a choice between a Ferrari 458 and Putt-Putt as my first car, I would choose Putt-Putt. This game has brought more joy to my life than you would ever know. Just Seeing Pep collecting those bones and getting to the checkered flag brings so much happiness and joy to my life. This game is a force to be reckoned with. If you have the money, buy this game, if you have more, buy the Complete Pack, I love these games. As DJ Khaled Said: '"Another One"' that is how i feel when I get money in my steam account, I will just buy another Putt-Putt game, another one, Another One, Until I have the Whole Franchise. I suggest this game for everyone!
