WELL the tickler one is glitched for me like i hit him once but then he ducks for the rest of the time and i cant beat it PLEASE fix it and please respond ### 5/5 — Great game I’m in love *2021-03-26, version 1.5* There is a little simple bug in the tickler where he won’t get up for you on the iPad and I came across it while playing the game could you please patch it ### 5/5 — The game is uncompletible *2021-01-31, version 1.5* I like this game but in the take out the tickler mini game I throw the pie thing at him but he crouches then I can’t throw the other one at him so I lose and it’s unfair. ### 4/5 — Tickler glitch *2020-11-10, version 1.5* Everyone is saying this but the tickler is stuck and is not going back up when going down please fix it or make another game if not just fix it thank you! ### 3/5 — You can’t take out the tickler *2020-10-17, version 1.5* I swear that I can’t even beat the game because of the tickler and I am stuck! He just crouches and doesn’t get back up! How am I supposed to feed him cream filled delights? I’m running from the worm called “take out the tickler.” ### 5/5 — Plankton,Squidward,and Sandy voice actors are missing *2020-08-21, version 1.5* I love this game but however some characters are missing there voice what I mean is plankton, squidward, and sandy. So I was just wondering if you could find their voice actor and if you can’t you can reuse some of the earlier lines of the 3 characters who don’t have a voice oh and don’t forget about Mrs. puff and if you do I will be happy! ### 5/5 — I have a request about the game(Please read) *2020-08-16, version 1.5* The take out the tickler mini game is broken after he ducks he never comes back up so the mini game is unbeatable(I got extremely lucky when I beat it and I had no idea how I beat it with that glitch) also I have a question:Is the game compatible with IOS 13?If not,please make an update making it compatible with IOS 13 and this update should include bug fixes especially the take out the tickler bug!The Game is probably not compatible with IOS 13 so release a patch update so it is compatible and also with it include bug fixes please! ### 4/5 — Take out the tickler problems... *2020-08-15, version 1.5* I am starting to wonder why I have a problem with take out the tickler game from the great Wumbozi challenge: Number one: I complete all the other games for the great Wumbozi challenge, and… Number two, when I tried to complete take out the tickler, I don’t know why take out the tickler game has been glitched… So, can you please help me fix this glitch? ### 4/5 — The take out the tickler glitch *2020-08-10, version 1.5* The Halloween fan: So when I bought this game it was a nice game that I could play on. But it was hard to take out the tickler there was a little glitch that it would just duck instead of coming up or jumping it took many attempts then I passed it. But then the card to take out the tickler was there as well when I had to win 2300 points. I thought it was gonna come up after it ducked but no it just stayed down! So please fix this app! Thank U! ### 3/5 — Game is fun until... *2020-07-07, version 1.5* ... As other reviews mention, there is a bug that means you can’t play past that point. Since you can’t just elect which games to play, once the tickler level glitches out, the game is no longer usable. Bummer. ### 5/5 — Fine *2020-04-22, version 1.5* Idk what all the comments are about I think this game is fine 100% good. I don’t spot anything wrong ### 4/5 — A few bugs but okay *2020-03-26, version 1.5* This game is awesome but I read some of the reviews and here is some bugs: 1: In wake squidward, his eyes do not open. Even thought it isn’t a problem for me. 2: in don’t fall, Patrick GliitChEss out. I fail sometimes on this mini game. That’s all I have to say. I love the creators anyway. ### 5/5 — A great game but a minor bug *2019-12-21, version 1.5* So the minor bug I was talking about was when you end your session early the game the game crashes it has happened to me about 3 to 4 times and this can be a problem if you got a lot of points the worst time it has happened to me is when I got 1,180 points so please make an update soon that fixes this bug ### 4/5 — Tickler glitch *2019-12-17, version 1.5* Addicting game in general, but I’m on the Wumbozi challenge, and one of the five games is Take out the Tickler. As many of the other reviews state, I cannot beat the challenge since the tickler stays ducked. Please fix so I can keep enjoying the game! ### 4/5 — Cool! (Minor Bugs) *2019-12-13, version 1.5* Love the games! Just one bug.. It takes FOREVER to load and it kinda bugs because now... I can’t EVEN LOAD it AT ALL!!😬 I would love if you could fix some of the bugs! 😁 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game breaking bug that ruins everything *2023-01-08, version 1.5* Ok so at the Take Out The Tickler game, this happens every time: The Tickler just ducks and doesn’t get back up until the timer runs out, making me lose the game. Unfortunately you need to win the game in order to win the whole game entirely. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy *2021-11-21, version 1.5* This game blows I deleted it because at the very end their is the worst glitch ever in Take Out The Tickler where he ducks and doesn’t come back up and I lost so many times because of it and I’m tired of it and apparently so are many other people but the creators of the game don’t care because if they did they would have fixed it by now. Would not recommend this to anyone that wants to physically beat a game 0 stars in my book. ### 1/5 — No restore purchases *2019-11-08, version 1.5* Kid loves this game. Had to remove for a reboot iPad now won’t restore purchases and we spent money on packs. Tried to go to app support on the Nick page and won’t send ticket despite all fields being properly filled in. So now despite reloading the game and it saying it restored purchases we are out $5-8 bucks and won’t be spending any more ever again on Nick games ### 2/5 — Disappointed :( *2019-12-14, version 1.5* Well, this game is soo buggy for a paid app, as many others have said. I had fun with it and all until I was halfway done and did the “great wumbozi challenge” and, surprise, the tickler guy thing got stuck ducking. Also, in the mini game with squidward’s graffiti, it’s literally impossible to beat. If you wipe off all of the graffiti, another one randomly appears at the very end scene and you lose the game. Very frustrating, and unplayable. ### 2/5 — Game error *2019-11-19, version 1.5* I got this game yesterday after begging my mom for it and am already having issues with it the beat the tickler game does not work correctly he ducks the whole time till the timer runs out I hate games that I can’t finish especially when you had to buy it. ### 2/5 — Please help a bug! *2019-07-09, version 1.5* I love the game I’ve only been playing it for one day then, today is not letting me get in SpongeBob game frenzy please fix that it was my favorite game I use it on my iPad I don’t know what’s happening with it but please help. I don’t know if it’s my iPad or if it’s the game but please fix the bug if it is a bug! It used to be my favorite game in the App Store but now I can’t even play it so idk now... every time I go in it with my iPad it crashes like it doesn’t even make it to the beginning part.. ### 2/5 — Restore purchases *2018-08-10, version 1.5* The restore purchases doesn’t work. My son has multiple apple products, usually the purchases will work on all of his apple products. This app will not allow him to use them on all products it wants him to purchase again. ### 2/5 — Why haven’t you fixed the Tickler Bug?! *2018-03-11, version 1.5* The game progress halts when you get to the Great Wumbozi Challenge...the tickler won’t stand up so you can hit him. Looking at reviews this bug has been present for months. The developer keeps giving a canned response like they care. But seriously if you care why haven’t you fixed the bug yet?! Oh, and I’m playing on the new iPad (2017) with updated iOS. Lame. ### 2/5 — Wish I could give it 5 stars *2017-11-22, version 1.5* There is only so many cards you can get for free then you have to pay. I’ve seen some cards, and I remember you use to be able to get them for free, but now it’s a dollar. Maybe charge something else for packs, like maybe you could collect 5000 points to buy a pack. And I would also like some new cards, but the ones you can actually get by playing the game. Overall good game, and I really wish I could give this game 5 stars. Another issue: take out the tickler is impossible, making it impossible to beat wumbozi. ### 2/5 — 'Take Out the Tickler' Bug *2017-05-28, version 1.5* I must say, this was on track to being one of my favorite iOS games in recent memory. I watched SpongeBob all throughout my childhood and I loved playing mini-games centered around some of the most iconic episodes. It's a shame that my experience was significantly dampened by the fact that 'Take Out the Tickler' is seriously bugged. You have to complete it in order to progress in the game, which currently makes it impossible to finish. If there is a patch that fixes this issue, I would easily give this game a 5-star rating. **Developer response:** We're sorry you are having trouble with the app. Please contact us so that we can help more directly!

And in the “don’t fall” mini game Patrick start glitching and he falls. Please fix these glitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the card collection “defeat the tickler” works a little bit but the game is broken!!! ### 5/5 — Just Like Dumb Ways to Die *2023-04-16* When I saw this game in a commercial, I bought it pretty quickly because it had the word “Wumbo” in it. Also because of all the different games in it. A few years after I got this on my iPad in 2019, I played dumb ways to die and it reminded me of this game. I first played this game around the time it came out because I love SpongeBob and know literally everything about it episode by episode until a few seasons after Stephen Hillenburg’s death. I still haven’t seen a few episodes in the latest season or much of The Patrick Show, but I still love Hillenburg’s work. This game brought me back memories since SpongeBob Moves In (Rest In Peace). I do miss SpongeBob Moves In because it doesn’t really work anymore and it’s removed from the AppStore. So anywho, this game is great and it is a more “appropriate” version of Dumb Ways To Die. ### 5/5 — This game is fun, father some little glitching *2023-04-12* When I started playing this game I really loved it. I fell in love. I love playing SpongeBob game frenzy. It was so cool but there’s some glitches. The game was all right and I give you a lot of stars. Thank you. I appreciate you guys for making this game but please fix the glitches. ### 5/5 — Great! But there’s a bug in the tickler mini game. *2022-04-11, version 1.5* This game is the best. But the tickler makes it impossible to play all the minigames. At the end, you have to play and win 5 minigames. Which also uses the tickler. When the tickler crouches, you can’t hit him. There’s a glitch that makes it so the tickler crouches forever. Please fix this. ### 5/5 — Good game, but one issue *2021-10-12, version 1.5* Don’t get me wrong, this is a great game. I had lots of fun! Until the “Take out the tickler” card. It is impossible! Please fix this! Other than that, great game Edit: The glitch does not make it impossible, just makes it very likely for you to lose ### 5/5 — It kicks you out :o *2021-08-02, version 1.5* It should do the bug fixes of no kicking out of game ### 5/5 — I♥️SPONGEBOB GAME FREAZY *2021-06-27, version 1.5* I’m the biggest fan of Spongebob sqarepant’s 🧽& all the spongebob games I’ve tried were really hard but not this one I love this Spongebob game A lote I’ve might of not Always got 3 stars or 3 Spongebob’s but this spongebob game is ROCKING FUN I ❤️ IT now I’m happy you read this Rewview Bye 👋🏻 ### 5/5 — I won the game *2021-06-14, version 1.5* Attack the tickler had a glitch in it but, I got extremely super lucky. And I won the challenge game! ### 5/5 — Such an addicting game but can I not play it anymore? *2021-06-12, version 1.5* When I open up the game three seconds later it takes me out of the game can you please fix this bug (or is it not a bug) in the first place when I was at that game where you have to hit SpongeBob‘s leg but instead it did not let me play the game and then 10 seconds later the game kicked me out I wanted to get in the game but it straight away kicked me out of the game so I turned off my iPad and then turn it back on and then try to get in the game but instead it puts up the nickelodeon sign and then kicks me out of the game can you please fix this if it’s not a bug than you don’t have to fix it ### 5/5 — Flashback *2021-05-26, version 1.5* these videosFrom when I was four was the thing that made me when this game and when I stumbled across it randomly on the App Store I installed it in the Atlee it’s a very good game as good controls and it’s one of the best games I have played --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
