Этой игрой действительно хотелось бы наслаждаться, если бы не постоянно заканчивающиеся очки энергии. Хотелось бы задерживаться в игре на подольше, чем один раз в час нажать на "удаление коралла" и выйти... 3 звезды только за внешний вид игры, геймплей 0 ### 4/5 — i need Chinese！！！ *2026-08-30, version 2.35.1* come ### 3/5 — Love the game but energy *2026-08-30, version 2.35.1* I get you have to try to make some money so I know most mobile games do the energy thing where you only have so much you can do before you run out but this system in this game is broken. Energy is required for so much and it’s so expensive that once you get past the first part of the game it only fills up to 50 so your stuck hoping on for five minute getting back off cause the amount of money you would have to dump in this game just to play it is ridiculous wanna play the game but yall ruined it with your greed ### 2/5 — problems *2026-08-24, version 2.35.1* The game is a very good concept and plays well but the energy and all the ad pop ups are a joke and makes me not want to play. should be more friendly to the free to play player ### 4/5 — Great - But too many ads *2026-08-24, version 2.35.1* The game is design has a great story and flow, the progression is steady and fun. The art is great. What makes every experience in the game painful is the grind of energy and the constant ads thrown in your face about gems. Then the inappropriate ads for harvesting or completing missions. $10 voucher for Temu? Come on, get rid of it. ### 2/5 — Fun but the ads are constant *2026-08-23, version 2.35.1* It’s a blast but had to delete because 1/3 of the screen is dedicated to ads and the micro transaction ads require up to 8 clicks before being allowed to play. ### 3/5 — Real-time translation. My phone is going to explode. *2026-08-13, version 2.35.1* It's good, but there's no Chinese, and it's too troublesome to download the translator. ### 3/5 — rewarded ad malfunction *2026-08-12, version 2.35.1* I really love this game. Unfortunately, I cannot watch rewarded ads to gain energy these days with an error prompting me to try again later, which troubles me a lot. I have tried switching networks and restarting the game with no improvement. Could you please fix this issue? ### 3/5 — Energy crisis *2026-08-10, version 2.35.1* I would like this game but it is not really playable. You only get 50 energy and most items require 20 or more energy to clear them. This means you can play about 2 minutes at a time. You play two minutes then wait an hour to play 2 minutes again. What a joke. If the energy cap was higher and I could actually play I would be more likely to spend money on it. Right now it would just be a waste of money because as soon as the energy you buy runs out (probably still within minutes as there are LOTS of things to clear) you will be right back to playing for 2 minutes at a time. ### 3/5 — 不错 *2026-08-06, version 2.35.1* 我觉得很不错！除了有点氪金外 ### 2/5 — One of the most predatory games I’ve ever played *2026-08-04, version 2.34.0* The actual game is fun, when I can actually play for more than a couple minutes because it takes FOREVER (like literally HOURS UPON HOURS) to get any semblance of useable energy to actually play. If you require more energy to clean stuff up as the game goes on then the least you could do is make the energy you receive as you level up proportional to what it takes. The side quest events don’t do anything except make you waste money just to get through them, you get 100,000 coins that you really can’t do much with because you can’t buy energy with them, and the time constraints for the bull worm deliveries are only possible when you spend copious amounts of money to be able to mine the materials needed! The construction zones are ridiculous, it takes sooooooo many tools that you never get just to be able to open up like 3 more plants that cost 200+ energy to clear. The gag is, I don’t mind spending money on games when I feel like I’m not being squeezed to death. I understand you have to make money, but my GOD. If the devs could ease up on their greed they’d realize they made a game that a lot of people do/would enjoy, but as is it’s just endlessly frustrating and unable to play. ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-08-04, version 2.34.0* Great game but I have lost a lot of power due to a bug within. Every time I spend exact power on an item, it will take my power but not mine the item. Also, the energy is used so fast.. it’s like a pay to win. I’d rather just pay for the game one time and have a decent game without the extra fees CONSTANTLY. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is a scam! *2026-08-29, version 2.35.1* My kid watches the videos to get extra energy and each time the ad is over it refuses to give the reward and after the ad it freezes the entire game and my device and all the ads want you to click on them to open to the store. And when you do click the store and then go back to the game it doesn’t pay out. It seem very predatory towards kids that just want to play the game that can’t afford to buy more energy! That’s another thing why aren’t there easier ways to make this energy and you can only regenerate to 50 energy points you have to collect more to go over 50. This app sucks don’t waste your money and time it is so laggy and scammy. ### 1/5 — Energy… *2026-08-27, version 2.35.1* When u first start the game u get the crazy amount of energy and it makes u think that’s how the games going to be from now on. U continue to play waste said energy and now ur energy bar only goes to 50 which can be spent within seconds…which also cuts the game short definitely a huge issue. ### 1/5 — Game still bad with events *2026-08-13, version 2.35.1* Edit, games still bad. Even lifeless, Simpsons tapout has more life to it with characters running around and able to send them out on missions and to do events. I like time then energy. Also simpsons tapout feels like it’s more fun. Adding on, app feels like a scam. Disney magic kingdom more fair and it’s greedy by far to. ### 1/5 — Used to love this game *2026-08-13, version 2.35.1* But it has not been updated in over TWO YEARS. No new places on the map and they keep recycling through the same adventures over and over. And probably the worst change is the inability to use the gift of 50% off clearing debris for an entire hour on any other place than your “home” space that is already built. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO CLEAR. In short, this game is fun until you cannot get enough energy to advance, you can’t use any of the perks they give you and you realize they will never update this game. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — 不满意 *2026-08-11, version 2.35.1* 如果说文字能改成中文就好了 ### 1/5 — Money, money, money *2026-08-10, version 2.35.1* Unfortunately, the game is sharpened for a crazy donation. Energy is consumed in two strokes, and it takes a long time to accumulate. You have to spend real money often and a lot. I delete ### 1/5 — Lagging *2026-08-01, version 2.34.0* It will freeze up and then it won’t let you play the game anymore ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-07-30, version 2.34.0* Energy based game .. complete waste of time . ### 1/5 — Stuck/bug *2026-07-23, version 2.34.0* I’m stuck at anchovy in Atlantis , it keeps saying “no specific resource to collect at the location” ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Money *2026-07-15, version 2.34.0* This game thrives from micro purchases. There’s a recurring limited time storyline (primordial), and the first two sections aren’t too difficult, but the final section will require spending at least a hundred dollars to get enough energy to grind it out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SpongeBob *2026-08-28, version 2.35.1* Fun family friendly game ### 5/5 — Connection Lost *2026-08-23, version 2.35.1* Many players in China including me cannot launch the game. We keep seeing “Connection Lost” or “No internet connection” errors despite stable internet. Retrying and switching networks do not help. Please fix this server connection issue for Chinese users, thanks. ### 5/5 — So much fun and so much to do - love this sb game❤️ *2026-08-23, version 2.35.1* So easy do I leave play, make sure you follow instructions- otherwise you risk your character running out of energy, so many different challenges and so much fun and you can go to a from different areas solving different challenges as you unlock them, so addictive - best game in a while ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-22, version 2.35.1* If you need to pass time and have patience and love SpongeBob, then this game is for you! Love love love this game. ### 5/5 — 에너지, 에디트모드, 이벤트맵 *2026-08-19* 너무너무 귀엽고 옛날에 애니메이션 보던 추억이 새록새록 떠오릅니다 ㅠㅜ 앞으로도 계속 질리지 않고 할 수 있을거같은데 개선되었으면 하는 부분이 있습니다. 에너지 너무 적고(레벨 업 하면 늘어나는 시스템이라도 있으면 좋겠어요) 마을 꾸미기(에디트 모드)할때 너무 힘듭니다.. 꾸미기 요소가 있으면 적어도 연속으로 옮길 수 있게 해주시면 좋겠어요!! 이번에 유령선장 이벤트 처음 해봤는데 완료한 사람만 유령선 보상이 있어서 아쉬워요ㅜ(완료는 현실적으로 무리인듯.. 한 50써야할거같음) 현질이라도 좋으니 유령 컨셉 꾸미기 패키지로 파시는건 어떠신가요 ㅎㅎ ### 5/5 — Класс *2026-08-13, version 2.35.1* Очень нравится! Играю уже год, очень много обновлений, постоянные задания + нет лагов. Единственное, хотелось бы получить версию для андроид, чтобы можно было играть всей семьей) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-09, version 2.35.1* Awesome game my son loves it! ### 5/5 — Ye *2026-08-07, version 2.35.1* cool game ### 5/5 — Why this is for SpongeBob fans *2026-08-02, version 2.34.0* It’s free and it’s 100 percent SpongeBob town ship ### 5/5 — Funnest game ever *2026-08-01, version 2.34.0* This is the greatest game I have ever seen in my life. You should start playing it and level up greatest game of my life. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
