SpongeBob - The Cosmic Shake

Rescue Bikini Bottom in this action game

SpongeBob - The Cosmic Shake is a 3D platformer that is based on the iconic cartoon series, SpongeBob SquarePants. The premise of this action game is hilariously intriguing. A stash of wish-granting Mermaid’s Tears falls into the grasp of SpongeBob and Patrick, leading to a cascade of unforeseen events. 

In SpongeBob - The Cosmic Shake, the very fabric of the universe starts to unravel, causing portals to open up into Wishworlds filled with knights, cowboys, pirates, and prehistoric snails. However, worry not, as our beloved SpongeBob is adequately prepared to embrace the chaos with his cosmic costume.

Meet your favorite characters

SpongeBob - The Cosmic Shake’s gameplay is engagingly fluid, allowing players to unlock both classic and exciting new platforming skills. It also offers more than 30 costumes for players to don, including fan favorites like SnailBob and SpongeGar. The game features seven distinct locations, including the Wild West Jellyfish Fields and Halloween Rock Bottom, which perfectly capture the zany vibe and colorful aesthetics of the original series. 

As for the characters, they’re voiced by their original actors from the series, which is a delightful homage to fans of the TV show. A standout feature of the game is the brand-new soundtrack, composed by the creators of Battle for Bikini Bottom. This, combined with dozens of songs from the series, significantly elevates the gaming experience, creating an immersive, rhythmic backdrop to the on-screen chaos.

However, this platformer isn't without its drawbacks. The game could benefit from more varied and challenging puzzles, which would test the player's skill and strategic thinking in addition to the platforming maneuvers. Compared to other SpongeBob-inspired titles like SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit, though, this title is still a pretty impressive venture that fans of the franchise and classic action-platformer games alike can immerse themselves in.

A modern twist to the iconic franchise

In conclusion, SpongeBob - The Cosmic Shake is a captivating and humorous game that encapsulates the spirit of the classic SpongeBob series. It provides a delightful experience, combining engaging gameplay mechanics with the timeless charm of its beloved characters. The few areas for improvement do not significantly detract from the overall enjoyment, making this game a must-play for both new and dedicated fans alike.
