![]() ![]() It’s not a bad thing, just not quite as good – I’m just glad we’re out of the gross-out era. There are quite a lot of nods to classic SpongeBob, but overall the humor is closer to what the show is now. You can find the Rest Home where Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy live, there are costumes referencing specific episodes like Bossy Boots and the movie, the MY LEG guy makes a few appearances, and the credits song is even Sweet Victory from the best episode, Band Geeks. This isn’t a hilarious game, but it will make you chuckle a few times at least.Ī lot of the enjoyment of Cosmic Shake comes from recognizing things from the show. ![]() You don’t really get alternate versions of SpongeBob and Patrick, but there is one level in which they are reduced to cavefish grunts and noises. In particular, I liked Director Squid Van Hammerschmidt and Princess Pearl, because they act exactly how you would expect in a delightful way. If you’re a SpongeBob fan, however, you will still find just seeing these alternate versions of the characters fun. I am still a bit disappointed by how little the game takes advantage of the multiverse gimmick, because Rock Bottom is the highlight of the game in that regard, everything else is just standard affair. The Halloween theme here actually has you exploring a small town and going trick-or-treating which was a nice treat (pun intended). The first few levels, such as Wild West Jellyfish Fields, are a bit too straight forward and don’t do anything with their themes outside of a minigame or two. ![]() It’s all very basic, but things did start to pick up around Halloween Rock Bottom with more interesting level layouts and objectives. Still, if you’re a fan of the show it’s worth playing through at least once.īeing a kid’s game, Cosmic Shake doesn’t pose any challenge whatsoever to someone well versed in the platforming genre. There are side quests that will take you all over, but you only need to complete those seven levels to finish the game, making this a fairly short adventure. The levels are mostly linear with a main objective at the end progressing the story. Weirdly enough, I found myself gravitating towards a GameCube style controller on Switch for nostalgia but mostly because the controls, with A being jump, feel more natural with that layout.Ĭosmic Shake isn’t a collectathon, however, instead consisting of seven levels with Bikini Bottom serving as a hub. SpongeBob once again needs to save his home, this time by opening portals with cosmic costumes, collecting cosmic jelly, and finding his pals and taking them back to Bikini Bottom.The Sponge who is Bob has a pretty similar moveset to BfB too, with a double jump, a short glide with the Krusty Krab pizza, a slam, bubble spin, and a few new tricks too like a dodge and the ability to throw bubble projectiles. ![]() SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake is something of a follow up to Battle for Bikini Bottom, created by the same studio that did that game’s remaster. With the help of Madame Kassandra, he and Patrick need to travel across the jelly-verse, rescue their friends, and save Bikini Bottom. Portals to alternate universes are opening up, Patrick’s a balloon, and there’s jelly everywhere! As you can probably guess, this is all SpongeBob’s fault – he and his friends made too many wishes on some magic bubble soap. Bikini Bottom has always been weird, but it’s never been this strange before. ![]()
