    "Bikini Bottom" is fun but this "The Cosmic Shake" is really annoying, laggy and boring. Do not make mistake that this game will be the same or better than BB.

    Delightful romp, performance is the only thing that does get in the way and brings it down from a 10, as the audio sometimes sounds echo-ie which is strange from a probably big budget game, and some cuts can feel a bit jolty and abrupt, but again, otherwise the game is enjoyable

    This game builds on the foundation of Battle for Bikini Bottom, so don't expect much innovation or novelty. However, the gameplay in itself is totally fine thanks to good controls, varied levels and solid presentation. Do take into account that it is a fairly easy game and that the game has some technical flaws, in addition, it can be a bit monotonous at times.

    Ultimately, though, this is powered by joy. It’s a largely forgiving experience, bolstered by innocence, optimism, and some genuinely funny jokes. It all feels as vibrant as it looks. While it’s geared towards a younger audience, it can (and should) be enjoyed by fans of all ages. Not the best day ever, but Purple Lamp has scored a sweet victory nonetheless. [Issue#25, p.83]

    Despite reservations about the levels and combat in particular, there’s still a lot of fun to be had here. The platforming feels great and every frame of the game is gorgeous to look at. We just hope the next adventure takes a bigger leap in the gameplay department.
