SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake
Wish-granting Mermaid’s Tears in the hands of SpongeBob and Patrick… What could go wrong? Sure, the very fabric holding the universe together could come undone, opening portals into wild Wishworlds. But that’s nothing our favorite sponge can’t handle- with the right cosmic costume!

“Cosmic Shake is a lot of fun, and I would put it about on the same level as Battle for Bikini Bottom. Pros: The story is interesting, and the callbacks to a lot of older episodes feel nice. The game is a decent length…”
“okay this game is actually very well done! i have been a huge fan of spongebob since i was 5 but i don't understand all the negative reviews. there is a lot of references and a lot that went into the game and so much…”

“If you grew up on SpongeBob, you will enjoy this game. Or even if you're a fan of platformers, which I'm not, you'll enjoy this. It's definitely made for children, as the dialogue at one point explicitly states, and the…”

“Никогда особо не был любителем платформеров, но любил губку боба когда был ребенком. Взял эту гамаху по скидке за 0 денег буквально и остался очень доволен. Первый платформер который доиграл до конца, ну и как оказалось…”

“It seemed like an ok game, but the gliding section of the pirate zone was too painful. Falling into the sea of goo is instant death, sending you all the way back to the checkpoint.”
“I liked it but the last boss was had”
“Pros: Simple but good level design. Charming artstyle. Runs smoothly. Intuitive and satisfying movement. Neat unlockables. Cons: Very short. Lacks challenge. Ending very underwhelming. Feels graphically unpolished, like…”

“after 100%ing this game i have a lot of opinions about it, mostly positive. the game feels great with fun level design. while the movement and combat feels wonderful the fun components arent given to you immediately making early levels feel a bit sloggish. but as you gain…”
— a player, Steam review · 23 hrs played“Meh. It's a decent enough platformer with it's bigger strength being the creative and colourful locales you get to platform in and the voice acting being top notch but other than that this pales in comparison to Titans Of The Tide and the older games so go play those instead.”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“TLDR; This game is NOT Battle for Bikini Bottom 2, it's a mixture of Revenge of the Flying Dutchman and the console Movie game, for better or worse. I started this game right off of a 100% playthrough of Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. I haven't played this one quite yet,…”
