Played the PC version, which I thought would be another cool funny adventure game like Employee of the Month or the Movie game, which it, kind of is? Seems like they had way less money so instead of like a story you go through it's more like an objective, recruiting randos (mostly chars that literally do not have names) to be in an episode of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. You usually have to give them one item to get them to go, which is either found somewhere in the world or gotten from another NPC in a very small and straightforward trading circle minigame. If that wasn't stimulating enough sometimes there are stunningly terrible minigames which make up a significant chunk of the game's 90 minute runtime, making it feel less like an adventure game and more like window dressing for a minigame collection. Pretty lame stuff, but there's some decent gags and the hook of exploring these surprisingly well realized visual locations from the show with comfy music and the original voice actors is nice :). Game also has some really weird cursed semi-2D flash cutscenes that just. Look very strange. Idk, I kind of liked it. It barely has an ending too, once you get enough of a cast you can do different combos of this fake show, it's bizarre. AWE games undefeated

Your review basically boils down to "this isn't an adventure game" when that isn't the point. It's meant to be a party game you play with you friends similar to Mario Party which explains the short length.

I am truly baffled as to why you care, but because you do, I will clarify again, this was the PC version. It is structured like an adventure game and reuses most of the assets from the movie game and employee of the month. You walk around, talk to people and they ask you for things and you presume that you would be solving puzzles to get them or progressing a story but you don't. It is single player only and the mini games are not party games, they're weird flash games that often barely work.

I dunno what's funnier, someone getting bent outta shape for not liking a Spongebob tie-in, or somehow missing the fact you pointed out two distinctions that makes this different from the console versions.

Sucks to hear the PC version of this isn't as cool as the P&C Movie Game though, I remember that one being pretty enjoyable and I'm certain I'd like it a lil more now that I feel underwhelmed by Console Movie Game nowadays.
