![]() This is, without a doubt, the best SpongeBob game I’ve ever played, and I hope Purple Lamp Studios keeps the keys to the license for years to come. There is so much creativity packed into its seven different worlds that I could not stop playing it over the past weekend because I was too excited to see what was next. ![]() SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is an astoundingly good game. It would be nice if each costume had some unique ability tied to it, but it is what it is, and the simplicity of the feature didn’t detract one bit from my enjoyment of this adventure. There are a lot of costumes to unlock, and doing so is what I suspect will make up the bulk of the post-game experience. There’s no gameplay advantage to using one costume over another, and you don’t even have to wear a costume that fits the theme of the world if you don’t want to. These costumes look great, but that’s all they do. Part of the gimmick of SpongeBob traveling to different worlds is he’ll be given new costumes that blend him into the environment. ![]() It’s another standard day under the sea, only this. SpongeBob and his bestest pal Patrick are up to more mischief as they find themselves the unwitting handlers of wish-granting mermaid tears. If there is one area of Cosmic Shake where I was slightly disappointed–outside of the Krabby Patty minigame that doesn’t seem to do anything at all–it’s with the game’s costume system. Everybody’s favorite sponge is back and spongier than ever in this swashbuckling platformer thats as sought after as the Krabby Patty secret formula. I don’t often pay attention to the music in games, but I couldn’t ignore it here. It’s also one with a soundtrack that is far better than I could have anticipated. I would argue the game could use an option to cut down on some of the repetitive soundbites, but beyond being constantly reminded that Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for you and me, this is one funny game from beginning to end. The writer’s behind Cosmic Shake have effortlessly tapped into the comedy of the show, bolstered by pitch-perfect performances from the SpongeBob SquarePants cast. With a magic bubble wand in hand, SpongeBob must travel to each of these worlds with his balloon-ified best friend Patrick to get everyone back and restore Bikini Bottom.Īnd what humor it has. ![]() When those bubbles pop, the universe is torn asunder and his friends are scattered around several different universes that take recognizable locations from the show and mash them with a new theme. Cut to a few hours later, and SpongeBob has blown bubbles that’ll grant wishes to everyone he knows. This time, while trying to enjoy a night out at Glove World, SpongeBob comes across the mysterious mermaid Madame Kassandra who absentmindedly sells him a glowing bottle of bubble formula that has the power to grant wishes. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake sees everybody’s favorite pineapple-dwelling sea sponge causing a ruckus for the people of Bikini Bottom.
