20 years later, SpongeBob's latest adventure from developer, Purple Lamp, nails the look and feel of the show while providing an enjoyable new adventure for
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is a great new reason to return to Bikini Bottom and reunite with iconic characters from your childhood.
The Cosmic Shake really does feel like a direct sequel to Battle for Bikini Bottom, taking advantage of nostalgia for both that era of 3D platformers and of course the source material of the show. A cavalcade of jokes and references delivered through inoffensive, if uninspired, game design, it's sure to land nicely with the right audience even if it doesn't seek to have its genre peers shaking like jelly.
Everyone's favourite talking sponge is back in a new adventure so let's have fun with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake.

Are ya ready gamers!? Fresh out of his pineapple under the sea, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake has flopped like a fish onto our sunny shores, promising gripping gameplay alongside the nautical nonsense we all know and love. Alliteration is fun!
SpongeBob SquarePants nails the feeling of the source material and it does a great job of replicating the free and fancy fun of those old-school platformers. That being said, it's not a great game, at least if you're over the age of 12. It's lacking in challenge, it's rather short, and there's very little replay value. For the younger players who haven't been jaded by this wonderful and wicked industry, it's a serviceable platformer with authentic voice acting that gives players a chance to be part of their favorite show. For everybody else, it's a short distraction that had the potential to b...
