    I played SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake in 2023 and thought it was an above average game that I liked.

    Nice Blast of Nostalgia. I would suggest this for the folks who like simple gaming and platformers. I'm a Sucker for all Platformers, 3D or otherwise. I would recomend this to folks, like me, who like old school gaming like Banjo Kazooie and modern Bowsers Fury. Great Re-playability and not too long.

    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.
