It uses Battle for Bikini Bottom as a reference, and as such, Spongebob has access to his basic spin attack as well as double jump and ground pound. It’s a shame that the game’s cutscenes just use the show’s soundtrack as I would have liked to see what this team could do composing for those. The composers brought their A-game here with every single stage, having a great main theme, as well as several other songs spread throughout the level. The music in this game is also absolutely fantastic. The vibrant colors all over Bikini Bottom and the game’s various levels make everything stand out and the most noticeable visual errors from the Battle for Bikini Bottom Remake such as the constant pop in are a non issue now! This game’s visuals as a whole are absolutely perfect for a Spongebob game.

As if to show off the animation upgrade between this and Battle For Bikini Bottom, they immediately have Balloon Patrick perform several animations in the space of a singular text box. It certainly would have taken away from the annoyance of seeing the exact same press square to attack tutorial three times during this section.ĭespite this bad start, though, once the titular Cosmic Shake happens, the game begins to play its real hand. It would have been much preferable to have the tutorial message pop up without pausing your game. Tutorials in this game completely pause the game for about ten seconds. It didn’t help that the tutorials in this section were a complete pace breaker that made it hard to get into the game. I was very worried that this was what the game would be. Static models, cutting from the fish head to characters in random locations, and stilted voice acting that somehow cuts itself off. In the beginning, the cutscene presentation is nearly identical to the worst Battle for Bikini Bottom had to offer. The first thirty or so minutes of the game are honestly a really bad start. Now, let’s see if it actually pulls off its own style well. It’s just that you shouldn’t go into this game expecting it to be a second Battle For Bikini Bottom. I don’t mean this as an insult to Battle For Bikini Bottom or Cosmic Shake. Cosmic Shake meanwhile is more or a Super Mario Galaxy styled game where every level is completely linear and filled with memorable set pieces that can only be done in this style. Battle For Bikini Bottom was a Super Mario 64 styled collectathon that would have you constantly take detours during its linear levels to perform side tasks to obtain Gold Spatulas. From the reused tikis to Spongebob’s moveset to even a song remix or two, everything about this game wants us to call it Battle For Bikini Bottom 2. While this game may not share the title of that classic, every aspect of it evokes BFBB and wants you to be nostalgic for it.

As the game is new, I will try my best to keep this review entirely spoiler free, well, as spoiler free as a review of a Spongebob game can be.īefore I start analyzing the gameplay and aesthetics of the game, though, let’s address the elephant in the room: Battle For Bikini Bottom. I binged through the whole thing and want to share my experience with you. While reception to the remake may have been mixed, many were excited by the idea of a new game in the Battle For Bikini Bottom style. To everyone’s surprise though, a year after this remake it was announced that Purple Lamp would be developing a new, original, Spongebob game using Battle for Bikini Bottom as the basis: Spongebob Squarepant The Cosmic Shake. It didn’t help that the game they were remaking is considered the gold standard for licensed tie-in games.

This remake was met with mixed reception as it was riddled with glitches and performance problems such as horrendously bad pop in. Two years ago, Purple Lamp Studios released a remake of the classic platformer Battle for Bikini Bottom. But that’s nothing everyone’s favorite sponge can’t handle – with the right cosmic costume! Everybody do the Cosmic Shake! – Unlock classic and new platforming skills like the Fishhook Swing and Karate Kick – Don more than 30 F.U.N.It’s been a long, long time since we got a proper Spongebob platformer.
