Want to love it
I want to love this game so bad but the lack of opportunities to get energy make it impossible. Of course they allow you to watch ads for 15% energy but that doesn’t even clear one thing. That and I’ve been watching ads to complete orders and get energy and not even receiving the energy or order. Super frustrating! Also, I do not recommend spending real money on this game as I did. I spent $10 and it did not supply me with anything worth while. I was able to clear maybe a few things. Overall, I would rate this game a lot higher because I want to love it. The energy just makes it impossible. I’m not even suggesting giving us free energy, just possibly more ways to get it other than ya know buying it and waiting forever for it to fill up just for it to be gone after clearing one single thing.Show lesskmbs24

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Please note that the more you play, the more ways to get additional energy points you will find. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to contact us via the in-game support button. We wish you a nice day!Same complaint as everyone else’s.
Like most people, I feel that the energy costs to remove simple debris are way too high. I’m fairly early into the game, and I have a max limit of 65 energy. One type of debris, literally a single flower, costs ~35 energy to clear. I’ve never seen any other game of this type have such high energy costs for such a small amount of max energy after waiting times. And I’m sure the devs will just say “there are additional ways to get extra energy,” and sure, there are, but mostly in the form of small pick-ups that barely cover the cost of the next mandatory debris removal. There aren’t enough extra pick-ups if you want to stray for ten seconds to clear some extra debris, of which there is a metric f-ton. Just reduce the energy costs and you’ve got a fun little game here. The high energy costs are a strange way of showcasing company greed through micro-transactions that shouldn’t need to be necessary to play longer than 30 seconds at a time.
Edit: “Dev Response” is nothing but a copy/paste cookie-cutter response that says nothing and proves they probably don’t read these reviews or take the criticisms seriously.Show lessanime goon

dude the animation in this game? amazing. astounding. it’s so high quality and the dialogue is fleshed out to where it feels like its really paying homage to the characters (which is why any of us really play this game in the first place i’m sure) but the energy system? its so funny how its severely lacking. i saw another review saying that it takes all of your energy to break a rock and they were RIGHT. i mean hey, if your goal is to never have any players get through the game due to frustration, or to make money out of your consumers you’re on the right track (but even then the items you’re selling for money don’t feel like its worth it considering the exchange rate for using almost all of your diamonds for one exploding pie or to get energy back to break another rock). i hardly ever write reviews in games (or any app in the app store in general) and so i want to end it with saying that the developers have an amazing game idea, i just feel like it’s unfair to the player how the currency systems were made ♡Show lessCosmicSams

This is a fun game but there already have been too many times where I’m only 1 away from completing the daily task whether it’s collecting or spending and it won’t take it into account. And then I’ll try again and it still will not add it next thing you know I try 3 more times and I’ve ran out of energy or don’t have the supplies anymore and I’m still 1 away from completing the task even though I’ve done it 5 times. And then eventually after waiting so long to charge up again I’m running out of time and it STILL won’t adjust the amount to be completed it kind of annoying because I’m completing the task but it’s not calculating it.Show lessamandagzalez
•NOT GIVING 5 STARS UNTIL• Energy Fix Update
This is by far THE BEST SpongeBob “Town Builder Sim” game I have ever played. This is why it hurts that we’re still having the same problems we did on these games 10+ yrs ago. Energy bars! These mobile games want you to play like you work for them. Log on once every 30 minutes to click on three things and then log off. I wouldn’t have an issue with that if it didn’t restrict you from progressing after that point. I understand invisible progression walls. But there’s a difference between playing a mobile game for a healthy amount of time. Compared to restricting the player from progression seemingly by accident. I’m currently in Jellyfish fields. (Which seems like a common ground problem for a lot of people.) They want me to save Garry from a pit of Jelly. That all fine. Until they want you to make a glass jar using 6 of these white rocks. That wouldn’t be a problem if the energy bar wasn’t locked to 50 energy. If it takes 45 energy to break the rock. You would need to log on every 30 minutes to break A ROCK. Then log off right away. Since you of course can’t do anything at all after. You can see how that would be irritating. There have been hundreds of complaints since this game came out over a year ago. This has been an ongoing issue in the mobile gaming community for over 10 years. Fix YOUR GAMEShow lessJasonbrowhat

Thank you for taking the time to leave a rating for our game. We appreciate your feedback and are always striving to improve the gaming experience for our players.Fun game but…
It’s almost as if people who don’t play phone games, made this phone game. Energy cap is wayyyyyy too low (50) when some things require 64+ energy to clear. Sure, you can get more energy, if you visit the cash shop. Now, tell me what would be more lucrative, building a game that a few people will spend a lot of money on before getting bored and deleting, or building a game that A LOT of people would spend a little money on over the next several years? This game can be fixed, but the devs are going to have to sacrifice a few dollars in the short term. Think more long term guys, I’ll be waiting for an update while enjoying some less greedy games.Show lessDillyBishop52

We appreciate your constructive criticism and will take your suggestions into consideration for future updates.Energy system is messed up
So basically one of the main parts of this game is cleaning up Bikini Bottom and other locations. That means removing debris, jelly, kelp, rocks, etc. In order to do this, you must spend your energy. Every item on the map has an energy price to clear it. For example, to remove a wilted kelp, it costs three energy. To remove a single flower off the ground inexplicably costs 35 energy, while a giant rock only costs 27. Why is this an issue? Well, the energy you can regenerate is capped at 50. If you earn bonus energy, you can go beyond this limit, but if you spend all your energy and then walk away for an hour, the most you can get back is 50. There are missions in this game that require you to remove items that cost 45 energy. So imagine having to do that three times to complete a mission. That means you wait an hour to remove one item, then you have to wait another hour to do it again. It is painfully slow progress. I give it two stars because the game has a lot of potential to be fun, but they need to either raise the energy cap, or significantly lower the energy cost of some of these items to improve the pacing.Show lessMovieman91

The game is addictive, but in all the wrong ways! To collect items you use “energy”, and get one unit of energy per minute, up to 50. There may be 300 different things to collect per map, and as you progress, each item costs more and more. For where I’m at, it costs 45 “energy” to collect one little thing (so it takes 45 minutes to be able to do the smallest task). There are other methods of getting “energy” but they simply aren’t sufficient to make any progress in the game. It’s quite fun to unlock new things but you literally have to watch ads (which is ok but you only get 15 “energy”) or pay to make ANY PROGRESS in this game. I sincerely believe this game was created to be a money trap and I simply can’t believe it was even designed for children.
They EASILY could have made the energy limit be 250+ and had the same user engagement. But instead they decided to torture users by making them wait and wait and wait and wait for literally nothing to happen. I’d be shocked if the average person had this downloaded on their phone for more than four days because it’s SO DELETABLE!!!!!Show lessMj1234554321dogs
