This one was a pleasant surprise, I enjoyed myself! ...that is, if the game didn't glitch my save file at one point and I had to start over from the beginning again. Other than that, good stuff!
Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated was an alright remake of the gamecube original and this is supposed to be the sequel we never got to it. When you view it from that lens it's hands down the best Spongebob game we've gotten. With tons of love and callbacks to the series that I know all ages of the show will appreciate. This show was a huge part of my life and playing through this game made me feel like a kid again. This was definitely a passion project made my fans of the series that respect its source material, you can tell everyone had a lot of fun voicing their lines. For a licensed childrens game in the year 2023, It's certainly up to stuff, I can imagine this being some little kids favorite game.

really nice step forward from bfbb rehydrated, still rushed unfortunately but the different themed areas are great
I liked this better than BFBBR. Not by much. The collectables are a little less annoying to get. I like the costumes and the levels are better.
7/10 Better than the first but not worth $40

So glad that Mr, Krabs' balls finally dropped
Maravilhoso, veio na plus e baixei sem muita expectativas... Mas o game é dublado, isso mesmo que você leu, DUBLADO!!! e tem as vozes icônicas do bob esponja e seus amigos, mano esse jogo só pelo fator nostalgia na dublagem já merece nota altakkkkk o jogo tbm é muito bonito e tem jogabilidade fácil, recomendo muito, e vocês estão prontos crianças?
Really similar to the Battle for Bikini Bottom remake which is a good and bad thing
It plays the same but to a lesser degree
The jokes are still there and good and the different dimensions were fun
Reminded me of Rift Apart
7.5/10

A joyful experience
I have been sitting on this title for a while so I was happy to finally get around to playing it. I was very excited coming from Battle for bikini bottom rehydrated as I thought the game was a very good experience. In the end I really enjoyed my time with Cosmic Shake , finding myself smiling a lot and simply just having a great time with this game.
Platform goodness
One thing I have always enjoyed about spongebob games is its level design , it always brims with colors and joy. Each level is a blast to explore and complete, with many references from the show to be had along the way. Furthermore if you are a fan of the cartoon you will most likely enjoy this game a lot as it has many many references from the cartoon in it. In addition , the movement was fluid and fun apart from a few bugs and issues and I had. The story of cosmic shake is very simple , nothing to really write home about but that is fine spongebob games do not need insane stories. In addition, I quickly saw myself go back to each level after completing the game to 100% everything and get the platinum trophy and still the game's charm would shine through even with its grind near the end. Thank the lord there were no microtransactions in this game, EVERYTHING is only earnable through gameplay and there are alot of costumes to unlock and use which was very nice. I honestly don’t have many complaints with the game overall , it's a nice little package of good fun that will take you down memory lane.
Some complaints
While I don’t have many complaints I did have some issues that occurred during my runtime with the game. Primarily platform glitches and insta deaths which were annoying but didn’t happen often. To explain , there were a few times I would die for seemingly no reason while having full HP. It would mainly occur when I would try to go through a portal where spongebob would just glitch out and die which was odd. In addition I wish they could up the type of bosses these games have. To explain , the bosses were pretty basic in the sense that if you have played any 3D platformer you have most likely fought these types of bosses before. They never really seem to try and change up the boss formula and add some challenging bosses.
In the end
I really hope they continue with this formula because spongebob games have been in a very weird place recently. While Rehydrated was good, previous spongebob games were very hit or miss. They honestly need to just stick with Platformers and continue to innovate within its genre because I genuinely believe they could make a Fantastic platformer out of spongebob.

Good nostalgia for old school PS2 style platformers. Decent worlds, involves all the characters well, surprisingly good!
¿Quién me iba a decir a mi que un juego de Bob Esponja iba a ser uno de los que más iba a disfrutar esta primera mitad de 2024? Nos encontramos ante un 'collectacthon' muy majo que te hace recordar aquellas cenas de hace años con los simpáticos personajes de Fondo de Bikini. Se encuentra doblado con las voces de la serie y eso, sin duda, se agradece. Por lo demás, gameplay más que correcto, una historia simple y disfrutable y muchas cosas que coleccionar. Ideal para desconectar la cabeza un rato y ¿no es eso para lo que valen los videojuegos?
enemies just arent fun to fight, a lot of them are just wait for your turn to hit and its really easy to avoid them
Extremely mid
Encore une blague et je te crève Patrick (le ballon).
This game is truly fantastic
I got this for free with the monthly PS5 games list, which is cool
A lot of fun. Licensed video games should thrive to give enjoyment and love to it's source material as well as just be very fun gameplay wise
Saving Bikini Bottom, one hapless soul at a time.
I enjoyed every second.
GOTY
Good licensed kids game and nothing else
Fun with knowledge of the series however does feature bland gameplay. I understand why because it's a children's game but unless you're a fan I can't reccomend it. But if you are. I do.
The strengths appear when played speedrunning, as the platforming and combat are way too simple to be enjoyable, but to be fair, that's probably because the game is best when ignored everything around it and you're just passing by.
Cosmic Shake was a fantastic game. while it wasn't as long as it's predecessor, BfBB, I still greatly enjoyed my time with this game. the levels were all unique and memorable, while the bossfights were fun for the most part. the new gameplay mechanics were fun, and the humour in this game nearly always hit. a must play for SpongeBob fans.
man it feels good to be a Spongebob fan right about now
Pretty good for baby's first platformer. They did a good job on providing the player with satisfying movement abilities and multiple sections where they could shine. Probably the strongest part of the game.
After the excellent Spongebob remake, the game is rather "EHHHH". It gets better as the stages progress, but can't keep up with Battle of Bikini bottom in many aspects.
There's so much to say with this game. The pros are the developers did alot of correct Spongebob references to certain episodes from newer and older seasons, the cutscene animations are very expressive, and the music is pretty catchy.
The gameplay itself is very simple platforming and good for people who don't play platformers or good for children and families to play. You learn a new ability by going through each level and it makes platforming very interesting. The downside to this is the game never fully uses these abilities to its full potential. The enemies have cool designs, but the majority of them you can just do basic attacks to defeat them. The main collectables in the game are jelly and doubloons. There are set amount of doubloons in each level, but jelly will respawn an unlimited amount if you die or restart the level. Doubloons just unlock more costumes in the costume shop and you buy them with jellies. There's also other mini side quests where you collect various things for certain characters. Nice if you want to 100% the game. The downside to all of this is if you aren't going to 100% the game, then you have no incentive to collect anything and can run past the majority of the enemies. The boss fights aren't even really fights. You mostly wreck parts of the level to "fight" them. It takes you out of the game and makes it feel like an extention of the level, not like a boss fight at all.
I was playing this on PS4, so I don't know if anyone else has these issues. First of all the audio for cutscenes never match the cutscene. It's either off by 8 seconds or characters will repeat the same sentence over and over or the audio just cuts out entirely. This is also the same within levels. The music within levels will just cut out for the entire level most of the time. Plus, the death animations almost never play out. I've fallen through the bottom of the map multiple times, enemies sometimes never attack, and collectables sometimes never can be collected. Also, the game would freeze for me multiple times during cutscenes and gameplay.
Boss Fight Gripe: (this is where the spoiler is, incase you care about spoilers for a Spongebob game lol): The last boss fight is kindof unfair. You fight Squidward but hes transformed into a giant squid and his tenticles will hurt you or make projectiles that hurt you. These are easy to dodge. But then the main villian of the game is shooting harmful jelly at you, you have to dodge enemies and suction them up with the reef blower so you can attack the villian. Sounds ok enough, but you get stunned by the enemies for about 4 seconds and the knockback from getting hit by everything else will literally trap you in an endless loop of pain and you will die instantly. I got lucky on my 4th try, but still almost died and it felt like the game was completely unfair.
I know this is a licensed game, but there are great licensed games out there. This is an average game and the story is nice. I'm a very long time Spongebob fan and have watched this show since day 1 and even that can't save this game from ultimately being mediocre.

Love the many references. It's the definition of Fan support and I Love that shit.
Liked that there are still games being made in this style. Miss them.
But I think that the collectibles are the biggest letdown of this game. I was hoping for a big range of colletibles, cause these worlds are just so beautiful and games like this are perfect for collecting.
It's the best part about it. It's just very dissappointing to see, that this part is the most bare bones.
The rest is really fun. Game is just pure joy and easy fun.

Mire of this SpongeKid ey?
Is it just me that had no idea this game came out? As a big Spongebob fan I heard nothing about this game until I stumbled on it in the game store. Shit advertising campaigns aside, the game is decent. Nowhere near the level of BFBB but they manage to refine the jokes in this one and most feel straight out of the show. Once again the lack of co op play disturbs me. The levels themself feel a bit too long at times and some quests are clearly there to pad out time, but the story is decent as are the jokes so I can excuse it somewhat.
A sequel to Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated that, after four months of completion, I've already forgotten pretty much everything about, except that it was pretty mid.
