Fun but not easy
I love SpongeBob games they are always fun and I like this game it’s a lot like Klondike. I love the imagery and dialogue of the characters. I just don’t like how much energy it takes to break down objects and a lot of the time I don’t have enough energy and it takes forever to get tart done because I have to wait for the energy to load and I can’t use the exploding pies because you need diamonds to purchase them and u only get 3 diamonds a day and it takes 50 to purchase one diamond. If you want to advance faster you really have to spend your own money and that’s something u don’t like. I spent $40 bucks already and I’ve only played for 3 days and ik you can just be patient and now spend your money but then this begins to be a game that’s hard to enjoy because sometimes a task will take 95 energy and my energy only has 50 so I do one task and stop playing and wait for my energy to load more. It’s not a game I can just sit and play for a long time. I’m even running out of room in bikini bottom to place buildings I need because it takes so much energy to clear space to buildShow lessRainbows and butterfly’s

Hello! Thank you for your honest feedback. We value your input and will use it to improve our game for all players.Frustrating
The game itself is so much fun, but prepare for frustration. It’s your typical game that you have to spend real money to progress well. And when you get farther in the game, things in the game become more expensive and more difficult. I figured SpongeBob has enough related to it to make billions, stop making us pay money for stupid things.
Updating my review by saying nobody has time to go on the game ever 50 minutes for the 50 energies you get. As you progress in the game, everything gets way more expensive in energy. I’ve been stuck on the same two pieces to collect for about 5 days now because of how much they cost. I understand making things harder in the game but not nearly impossible. Especially when metal is the most popular item to craft for the order board, and you’re spending over 300 energies on it to only get 4 pieces. I also catch myself spending almost a week on the little arcade game to get more energy. Everything that you craft takes mostly over an hour to make so since nobody has the time to check in on the game as often as they want, they’re still missing out on opportunities for all the little side games, and the characters popping up next to the order board. So yes, the more you play, the more energy you get. However, people do not have all the free time in the world to get all the energy. Which makes the game so frustrating and leads people to stop playing out of it being nearly impossible to complete.Show lessmocolbs

Hello. We appreciate your detailed feedback and understand your concerns about the energy system in the game. Your insights are valuable, and we'll make sure to pass them on to our development team. Balancing the game's difficulty and energy requirements is an ongoing process, and your input helps us improve the player experience. We apologize for any frustration you've experienced and hope that future updates will address these issues to make the game more enjoyable for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.Needs some TLC
Energy capacity is at 50 which is equivalent to 50 minutes to fill. No matter how many levels you progress it always stays at 50. You cannot edit your buildings or decorations, so if you placed an extra item on accident or happen to block a secret pathway with a building; you’re just screwed to deal with it. Harvesting resources (at least for free) will take you months to advance as each tiny piece of resource to harvest will require 20-80 energy to clear it. That’s means waiting up to an hour and a half to remove 1 single piece of rubble in your path which can be littered with about 40 items.
The game itself is beautifully well animated and exploding with references to the shows episodes. I’m absolutely obsessed with the show and have multiple tattoos of the characters, but this game is hard to endure and difficult to enjoy unless you’re willing to fork over hundreds of dollars to get any progress with it. Maybe I will redownload it once it has an update, but until then, I would suggest you save your time and heartbreak.Show lessZombiehunter0006

Hello. Thank you for your interest in our game. The maximum cap of energy is not the only available in the game. The game was created to discover lots of possibilities in the game and it allows one to enjoy every part of the game at a leisurely pace. Please stay with us for more improvements, as there will be more activities to get more energy in the game.Love this game but a few things are incredibly frustrating
I love this game, I play it everyday, you could say I’m borderline obsessed with this game. It was fun at first but now that I’ve reached the chum bucket it’s getting incredibly difficult to find certain resources like CORAL, logs, and metal. Coral is the biggest shortcoming in this game even though you need it for many things! This needs to be reconsidered and fixed so the game is more enjoyable. Another thing that needs to be fixed is the lack of plant beds you can purchase. You’re only allotted a certain amount of plant beds at a time and can’t buy more until many levels later when we CLEARLY need more, why??! At this point I have to spend 2-3 days planting and farming before I can make other things or complete orders because of the lack of plant beds I’m allowed to have! I wish these things are corrected soon because if I continue to struggle to find coral I will eventually delete this game. It’s challenging and engaging and fun enough without the added stress of lack of resources! I am on the verge of deleting this game even though I really don’t want to!Show lessEOdonohue

Hello! Thanks for giving us new ideas to help improving the game, we will make sure to consider your feedback when deciding about future updates to the game!Wish there was a better way to rearrange buildings…
Got this game and have been actively playing for a week now and I got to Kelp City. It easy to progress through the different cities but be warned they do close after 48 hours once you leave. For energy, I wish it didn’t cap at 50 but you can hoard energy from orders, selling spatulas or minigames and the snack carts. I’ve been enjoying the limitations of the energy and farming capacity as it allows me to slow down and enjoy the game. The core of it is to restore Bikini Bottom by clearing the debris and redecorating the town, I just wish that there was a mass edit mode where you can enter in and rearrange quickly instead of pressing down on each asphalt tile or building or bench to move it one at a time. It just makes me not want to decorate but I’m powering through :(. Otherwise I enjoy the weekly challenges and I’m excited to continue to clean Bikini Bottom. A personal goal if you would say would be to clear bikini bottom and as much as I can in the other cities.Show lessjesus janneyyy
Time-expense game.
When you first start it can be very slow, but as you progress it allows you to produce more energy and it makes the game faster with more stuff to do. I’m a few worlds in and the game got a lot better. My only complaint is, you can’t go back to a world once you complete the quests inside. There isn't a lot of quests in a world either. You can easily pass through a world within a few days. I don’t see the point in having so many obstacles in a world if you only need to clear maybe 5% of them to complete everything. There’s no point in clearing all those extra obstacles so I just moved on, and then I can’t go back. If I could I would love to see the rest of the worlds and clear them all up. Hopefully the devs change this and allow us to travel to any world we’ve unlocked.Show lessKingMatthew16
Everything is too expensive
The energy cost of everything is way too expensive and it’s too hard/takes too long to regenerate energy. The only real way to get a 100% completion on anything is to spend weeks and weeks on a single area and checking in every hour to use the measly 50 energy points you get or to spend actual money on energy, and the cost of purchasing the energy with real money also isn’t worth what you get out of it. When you get energy bonuses, it’s too easily spent. 500 energy points won’t even get you through a single path clearing task.
On top of that, so many changes have been made to the game to make it more expensive, including the coin exchange for selling the elephant bubbles. When I first downloaded the game the elephant bubbles were worth 2500 coins each and now they’re only worth 250 coins each. The game makers are so greedy!
This game would be a lot more fun if the energy cost/spend issue was resolved for area tasks and resource collection.Show lesskatamusprime
Can’t give 5 starts until some issues are fixed
I really enjoy this game. I downloaded it about two months ago because I love games like these. Even thought I do enjoy this game I do I have a few issues with it. First the energy is capped at 50. No matter how much you level up, the max stays at 50 which means if you have progressed far enough in the game, you have to use other resources to gain more energy. Second, the resources cost ENTIRELY TOO MUCH ENERGY TO HARVEST!!! Not only in bikini bottom are most of the resources cost too much energy, but as you progress through the map, the different locations energy costs skyrocket! I’m current on level 19 at chum bucket and I’ve barely made any progress on that map because for example the electrical wires cost 111 energy to harvest but the game Caps you at 50 energy. So if I can’t use the sugar squeeze cart, candy vending machine, create energy at the fry cook museum, have fences covered in jelly and have enough glue to repair it, or receive orders where the reward is not energy, I either have to wait days to hoard energy or I just don’t do the map location at all. I also feel like there should be more ways to earn diamonds for free. This game has so much potential but these issues are really hindering its successShow lessjazziip00h

Thank you for letting us know about your experience with our game. We're always looking for ways to improve and appreciate your feedback.Great new spongebob game!
I’m really glad I found this game. I haven’t played an iPhone game in a very long time, but this one’s got me hooked. This is a very well made game with a lot of details and references for spongebob fans. I really appreciate the work and love they put into this one. Been playing daily for a couple weeks now, and there is still so much content to explore.
While some people are complaining about the energy system, I feel like it makes sense. Sure it can be annoying at times, especially when you have multiple objects blocking your way that needs 100+ energy to clear. But a system like this makes the game progression more stable, and also keeps you from being glued to the phone lol. And as you progress further, more ways to fill energy and gather resources become available to you. Watching ads are the easiest way to fill up the energy. And while no one really likes watching ads, this game implements them well by giving you the option watch ads or not, instead of forcing them on you or making you pay. There are also ways to fill up energy by buying diamonds, but I’ve been playing free to play.
Overall as a spongebob fan from childhood, this is currently my favorite game on my phone. Hopefully they continue supporting this game for a while. Looking forward to future content!Show lesskoolaidmaster269
Decent game, but needs some changes!!!
I really like this game, but they are a few things that should be fixed. Like everyone else, I also agree that the energy should be fixed, but there is another problem that has been apparent for me. Whenever I go to a different world and there is dialogue, the screen doesn’t freeze, but I can’t press anything anymore. I have tried restarting my device several times and it still didn’t work. Whenever I log off the game for an hour or more, when I log back on I am taken to the same part where the game glitched and I can’t click out of it. I have deleted and reinstalled this game several times and at first, everything works fine, but again, after logging off for a bit, I am pretty much forced to delete and reinstall this game another time. This is a very tedious process, which is why I am not giving this game 5 stars until this problem is fixed.Show lessLayla P.M.
