My review
I just want to express this is my childhood in a game, Thankyou for bringing back a bit of nostalgia and inner child joy. The way the game is designed is brilliantly creative, personalised to the player and the individual episodes + creating your own version of bikini bottom.
Little twelve year old me simply wouldn’t believe her eyes 😂.
I still have the series and movies as my comfort shows time from time, never fails to cheer me up and make me smile again, whatever it is.
Thankyou again,
Jazz.

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!

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.

It’s okay
Like many others have complained about the energy system I definitely see that as being an issue. My other thing is I haven’t moved on from jelly fish fields yet because you can get the jelly there and it’s like 999 my question is that if I move on and the area is closed am I permanently locked out of getting that free resource or will there be an option to collect it even after I leave the area. It’s it’s the former I’d rather not move on. And things do take a while for the energy to regain. You do the mini game which gives free energy it’s about an hour wait on the things to refill and a 3 hour wait on the tasks themselves to refill. While I understand that most mobile games have energy systems to try to get the player back into it later. This one seems kinda ridiculous that there’s no way to increase the cap. And removing things does cost a large amount of energy. You can remove a few things at most and just come back to it maybe a few hours later and repeat the same steps. It’s ok just not all that fun I thought it would be.

Hello! As you complete all tasks on a location you can move to the next one. However, previous location will be closed within 48 hours. You can still get much jelly in Bikini Bottom by buying jellyfish and giving them food, which isn't quite difficult to do.
Lowkey nostalgia-bate that seems to be pay-to-play
Even though clearing a specific piece of debris will say, for example, “8 Energy,” it will spend more until you’ve completely run out and then the debris you’d tried to clear away will still be there because it still needs more energy to be cleared away. The game rips you off. And there’s so much to be cleared away, that’s basically all you’re doing for the whole time you play. You can get more if you have food items in storage, but the only way you can get these is if you clear specific types of debris—which requires…you guessed it… ENERGY! Oy…I downloaded the game for nostalgia purposes, but it’s just like any other idle game on here. Actually, no. It’s not. Because I’ve played better idle games that are much more playable than this one is. (E.g. Cats & Soup and Rent, Please!)
Do better, devs.

Super fun!
The game is super fun! Heaps to do and keep getting more activities at each level.
Unfortunate that you can’t use your coins to get more energy have have to use real money as I have heaps upon heaps of coins within the game but you can only purchase more energy with gems which has to be purchased with real money.
Would love the new update to feature some way of using in game coins to buy energy but other then that I love the game

A very grinding and slow game to progress
This game is probably the most detailed and beautiful SpongeBob app game I’ve seen. The problem is that energy is very slow to accumulate and you only can play for about 20 seconds after waiting 30 minutes or so for full energy. The sad thing is this wait time isn’t an exaggeration. You’re going to lose a lot of players from this game being so unbalanced. Energy is slow to accumulate. Task items like seaweed take forever to gain because energy is so low. There’s no point of having bikini bottom citizens because you never have enough materials to build anything to utilize them. Planting crops is also worthless. You have so many crops but due to needing items that require energy that takes forever to get you can’t craft anything with it. I think this game tried pulling ideas from greater games that already have these mechanics without knowing how to properly implement them. There doesn’t seem to be any true play testers either because this game is very unbalanced and broken.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Energy points can be found in the game additionally. You can exchange energy in special machines, make spatulas, complete orders, etc. Our team will add even more possibilities to the game. So please stay tuned!

Decent game
The only issues I’ve really had were getting enough energy to unlock new areas on the maps and not being able to move buildings around once you place them. I feel like instead of having energy max out at 50 it should max out at at least 100. And as for the building situation I feel like we should be able to go back and edit where we want to put our buildings. I’ve just been placing buildings for the missions in random open places until I could clear more room and move them but there’s no way to move the buildings once you placed them.
Other than that, I have no complaints. It’s a fun game. Just irritating that it takes so long to get energy and I never have enough of it. And being able to move buildings would be nice.

LOVE this game, but has flaws
I downloaded this game abt a month ago & I play it all the time. I do have a few complaints tho that I’d love to be considered! The supplies. It’s slow moving to progress because half of the stuff I need to build buildings or whatever, I’ve harvested. I can’t expand because it takes way too many rakes & shovels to open a tiny piece of land, then when you do clear it, there’s nothing you need in it. I’ve harvested all the worlds I’ve explored too & still don’t have enough of certain items like coral, wood, metal, etc. There needs to be a way to harvest coral & kelp & stuff, because theres not enough around the game to keep it moving. Energy bar needs to have a bigger capacity too. Wait an hour to refill it & only knock over one tree. & the compasses are hard to get. I have a task to make a toy train & I can’t seem to even get enough compasses to unlock it. I can’t complete the tasks or deliver to the bull worm because there aren’t enough resources to make certain stuff. It’s just a hard game to progress on with what you got.
