Spongebob Platforming Refined
The Cosmic Shake incorporates the best aspects of the Spongebob Squarepants platforming video games from the 2000's. It has the honor of formally being the spiritual successor to Battle for Bikini Bottom (BfBB), hosts improvements over The Movie tie-in game from 2004 (the previous successor to BfBB), and has the creativity of Creature from the Krusty Krab without the demented sense of humor from that particular title. The Cosmic Shake reflects its source material masterfully, while also acknowledging the niche of players who grew up with the aformentioned games. It is rare for owners of a property such as Spongebob Squarepants to have produced media with such qualities, which is something to be celebrated. The game was a joy to play through, even while playing on a dated laptop with mouse and keyboard controls. The platforming and combat aspects were executed well, despite being a bit simplistic and derivative of previous games. The levels felt open and spacious, whilst being linear to carry the narrative effectively. The game also sports a good length and replay value comparable to BfBB. The art and graphics are great, putting the game's hefty engine to good use. There is a wealth of smart asset reuses from BfBB - Rehydrated, with additional artistic nods to other Spongebob platformers. The original music is often good, while not being quite as memorable as BfBB's soundtrack. The story is a fun journey with motifs from the most notable episodes from all of Spongebob. The humor is akin to the show as well, with quips by Patrick granting several laughs throughout the experience. The Cosmic Shake is whole-heartedly recommended to anyone who enjoys Spongebob Squarepants. It is accessible to fans of the show of any age and of any background with video games. It seems unlikely that the niche of Spongebob platformer-lovers will be served something of this game's quality again soon. Much like fish, it would be best to enjoy this while it's fresh.
