The story is a nostalgic, simple, and imaginative narrative aimed primarily at children, featuring a light-hearted and fun adventure with optional side activities that enhance exploration but do not drive the plot. While some find the storyline emotionally engaging and stronger than previous entries, others criticize certain plot elements as confusing or unnecessary. Overall, it delivers a charming and carefree experience suitable for young audiences.
- “This game has a much stronger story than the first game, because it is tied in with another character to whom you can really identify with.”
- “There are many more side things and optional areas that don't really forward the story for you to explore, and I think this was a solid advancement in terms of the series, giving players more places to explore and more things to look at and interact with.”
- “Putt-putt's got it all: an emotional story, completely action-packed, and has got a dog.”
- “My only complaint is the apartment complex; it is confusing and I explored each apartment before activating the rocket fuel side quest, which was a waste of time.”
- “I'm not the biggest fan of Rover since his backstory just makes the series more weird than needed. Why are humans a thing in this world? Do they build the cars? Where are they in any of the other games? Did they go extinct long ago?”
- “The plot also does nothing to raise any of the stakes in the game.”

The game's graphics are notably dated and pixelated, reflecting an older VGA resolution style that may not appeal to everyone, especially younger players. However, the visuals have a nostalgic charm that some find endearing and reminiscent of classic games, though many acknowledge the need for graphical updates. Overall, while the graphics are not a standout feature, they complement the gameplay and evoke a nostalgic experience.
- “Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon was one of the last Humongous Entertainment games to use pixel graphics before switching to hand-drawn animation in 1994.”
- “The visuals are so charming and really bring you back to the time.”
- “I will forever appreciate the time I spent playing this game; please take your time to appreciate this amazing graphic experience.”
- “The graphics are quite dated and there isn't much replayability outside of the first run.”
- “The game is in VGA resolution so the graphics are nothing exciting, and there's absolutely nothing to entice a kid to get interested in astronomy.”
- “The graphics of the game are all broken with dots (bmp) which breaks the nostalgia.”

The game's music is generally praised for its nostalgic, cheery, and memorable soundtrack that enhances the fun and relaxing experience. While some find it a standout feature comparable to classic titles, a few users consider it bland, recognizing it mainly suits a younger audience. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the game's charm and appeal.
- “Worth every penny-- quick playthrough, cute soundtrack and all the fun little things I remember.”
- “I remember this game being a lot more creepy since there were aliens on the moon and everything, but revisiting it when I'm older made it a more relaxing experience (probably because the music was nostalgic and also a constant banger).”
- “It's just full of terrible sci-fi clichés, the puzzles are boring, the music is bland, should I really go on..? Now I know it's just a kid's game.”
- “The bright colors and cheery music distract from a deeper truth, though.”
- “It has a fun premise, memorable characters & plenty for the kids to explore along with a pretty standard but still rather nostalgic soundtrack.”

The game offers limited replayability for adults, mostly providing a one-time enjoyable experience, while its simple charm and randomness make it highly replayable and engaging for kids. However, its short length and dated graphics reduce its appeal for repeated playthroughs.
- “Replayability of this for kids is insane.”
- “Like the first putt-putt game, this has little replay value and is only fully enjoyable to kids, but still charming enough to get some enjoyment as an adult (though for one hour at best you might want to wait for a heavy discount).”
- “It isn't to say that there isn't some things to dislike about the title though - the graphics are similar to the first game in that they are quite dated and there isn't that much replayability outside of the first run.”
- “Super short and has no replayability, especially with the time travel part.”
- “The graphics are quite dated and there isn't much replayability outside of the first run.”
- “The randomness is still very limited, so it's lacking in replayability.”
