Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, a sequel of a previous Spongebob video game, Spongebob Squarepants: The Battle of the Bikini Bottom, has made a recent release. This new game lets players control a SpongeBob character of their choice and play a run-style game. 

The Cosmic Shake is available for anyone over the age of Ten to play, while running on console, switch, and Windows. This game ranges from seven different wishworlds to choose from such as the Wild West Jellyfish Fields and Halloween Rock Bottom, adding more personality to the gameplay as it is making references to the series, SpongeBob SquarePants itself. 

Not only is there amazing gameplay scenery, but there are also more than thirty different “spongetastic” costumes like Snailbob and Spongegar. There will be new features and abilities that will be unlocked such as the Fishhook Swing and the Karate Kick to add more action to the gameplay. Not only are these new features quite amazing, there is also a multiplayer option, enabling players to play with their family and friends.

With a beautiful soundtrack made by the composers of Battle for Bikini Bottom, plus dozens of songs from the series, this game brings a feeling of nostalgia to any player that may have enjoyed the series of Spongebob SquarePants as a child. 

This blast from the past also takes the player even closer to the series as the original voice-acting cast voices Cosmic Shake. This game varies in fifteen different languages as text languages and voice languages range from English all the way to Indonesian for the player to select from. 

Although this game may seem exciting, it could definitely be more suspenseful. Since this game is mainly targeted towards children going to early teens, this game is perfect for players that may want fast-paced yet chill gameplay. 

The storytelling portion of the game is enjoyable to watch as it keeps the viewer entertained with the different objectives that are given to the player to complete. These different objectives add a bit more flavor and challenge to the game which will keep the game more interesting and allow the player to have more enjoyment when playing the game. 

This new video game is definitely a must-play as it’s a simple structure yet exciting at the same time. Although the laidback gameplay may appear to come off as a bit uninteresting or boring after a while, the storytelling does its job quite well in keeping the player engaged. Just from the gameplay trailers alone, this game is a solid seven out of ten, as it does a great job capturing the scenery and concept of the game. 

Spongebob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, is a great new addition to the games made by Purple Lamp Studios. This brings suspense to more exciting games that Purple Lamp Studios could release in the future.
