No voice acting

Other franchise city builders have voice acting, not this one. VA is the standard

Hello Troupials! We're sorry to hear that our game didn't meet your expectations. We'll take your feedback into account as we continue to make improvements.

Need more resources

Please update home map with more resources (coral, kelp, seashell etc.) after picking everything from the home map I now have to forage for materials on other maps who also don’t have a lot of the items needed to progress!!!! 😡

Good game but..

I love this game. I play it every day, but it just takes so much to do anything. Once you get to the next world, everything breaks. There is more than the energy bar. I’m at the medieval moments, and the cheapest thing I think I found was 68, which is insane to me. I think they should make it so that you can increase your energy bar or make it easier to get energy without spending money bc I know I’ve spent too much money on this game and it’s sad that’s how you have to play it to get anything done in the game which is very irritating I really like this game I wish they made it easier to do the thing is the game without spending so much money other then that it’s a fun little game gives you a lot of mini-games within the game which is nice it just takes too long to get anything done tho which probably makes people stop playing bc I know I have before bc of it.

Love Game But….

I really love this game. Graphics are awesome. Seems so realistic to the actual show which I still love watching on TV. My bigger complaint I think the ratio between energy that you use and the actual product that you get back is not fair like if you used 145 energy you get like maybe five but then you need like 10 to build something that you need to give to the worm to get the tools that you need to be able to expand the land in bikini bottom, I’d like to see that ratio fixed. I’d also like to see if there’s a way for us to use gems to buy the tools need it to extend our areas because sometimes I just can’t get all of the supplies needed to give to the worm in order to get the tools needed to extend my land plus the required tool amount is way too much as well, I’d like to see these things improve along the line of being able to get these tools a lot easier overall great game and I do love to play it!

An interesting take on Energy

This game is fun BUT as many people have said, energy is an issue. While there are ways to get energy, they almost feel feeble to continually playing. So many places outside bikini bottom have debris that cost 100+ energy when your cap is 50….this entices you to do the little mini games or craft spatulas(that require an item you have to use energy for…)to get energy back. This and some quest items will give you some too. All of that, will still only give you about 10 min of playtime every hour or more. Huge rocks cost 15 energy, while a tiny piece of coral cost 45? A Very odd system that doesn’t seem like it was given much though. This game also really wants you to spend money. And the bundles are not worth the price, mathematically speaking. Definitely think about the amount of energy, 200 gems, and that one pie, your getting for 6.99,( on a sale.) 300 energy can get you to break to debris on glove world. That’s not worth $7 for a sale. The original price is $25 mind you. I understand you want to make money, but that’s not the way

READ RN

the game seems so fun and interesting but to get energy is so hard and it cost like 60 energy to remove 1 coral the map is huge and the game clearly just wants to make money, please make an update where it’s either easier to get energy or it cost less energy to remove things because then this game would be awesome. no it’s not rewarding it takes hours and people won’t play the game if it doesn’t change

Hello. We appreciate 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. Please stay with us for more improvements, as there will be more activities to get more energy in the game.

Need more energy to play

I really love this game. So I’ll start with some pros! It’s extremely fun. I love that there are various areas within the game to clean up, Jellyfish Field, Kelp City etc. I love details on the game, really feels like the actually show. Love how you get to clean up areas the different boards and fine treats and speciality to help you along the way. The game it really cool and I enjoy playing it, trying to make my boards look absolutely clean and looking like a city again! But here’s my problem I have no energy to do ALL the cleaning it requires in the game. Its very hard to play it when I run out so quickly. The extra games within the game helps like the game room, the snacks, and things like that but you only get 50 and some of the area that need to be cleaned to go to the next level is much more than that. I which it was higher and I wish every time you level up or go to another city you can start us off with at least 200 energy so we can start cleaning in the next board. I don’t even get my gem after watching multiple ads and it’s so hard to exit out of them.
The pies help so much! But so hard to get. Overall fun game, that’s gonna require you to spend you money to actually enjoy it

Hello! We are so grateful to you for such detailed feedback and it's a great pleasure to know that you find our game extremely fun to play. Our team did their best to make the game interesting in the long term and set no time limits while advancing. You can move with the quests only or stay at the location longer to collect more resources. Besides, using other possibilities in the game can be useful. For example, the Adventure Camp can help when you experience a lack of some exact resource. We are always glad to help and share more game tips. So feel free to contact us via the in-game support form anytime you need.

Too many issues

I like this game - I do but there are too many issues. For starters energy takes too long to replenish and removing 1-2 pieces of debris costs too much energy. Then there is the fact that you have energy awards tied to ads which don’t work. There’s currently the TV marathon which says you need to watch ads but doesn't actually register you’ve watched an ad. Or even the ads to get energy…it is an actual waste of time and what I will not do is any in-app purchases just to get through a game which should be fairly straight forward. I thought this would be a fun game but it is more frustrating than anything and I’m about to delete. I might reconsider once it’s updated and fixed.

Hello! We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the game. Please contact us from the ""Support"" icon in your game's Setting's Menu, or at SpongeBob-Adventures@tiltingpoint.com. We would be happy to assist you!

Be prepared to spend money

Is the game good? Yes. Can you get through it without having to spend your money each time? No. You will be stuck for days waiting for gems and the amount of energy you get is useless when there are several things that are worth 60+ energy. That’s what gets you to spend your money. Are there ads you can watch for energy and gems? Yes, IF you can even get them to work. It’s been over a month and I have not been able to watch any ad for gems or energy because after the ad ends, nothing happens. I don’t get anything. I have reached out to the in app support COUNTLESS times and all I ever get is the same “oops sorry that’s happening to you” message and then they close my chat. I have already restarted the game, my iPad, and uninstall/reinstall and nothing ever helps. In fact, when I have uninstalled/reinstalled I have actually lost progress in the game 3 times now even though I have the game connected to a Facebook account which should in theory prevent that from happening. I also got a “sorry that happened to you” message from support when I messaged them. You would think that after all of this they would offer you something to make up for all of this, but no. So hope you have your Apple wallet set up if you decide to download this game.
