SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, developed by Heavy Iron Studios, is THQ's offering for platformers and fans of the popular animated TV series broadcast by Nickelodeon. The development of the PC version was entrusted to the AWE Games studio, which previously worked on games like SpongeBob Squarepants: Operation Krabby Patty.

Plot

The plot of the game concentrates around the invasion on the titular underwater city - Bikini Bottom. The perpetrator of the turmoil is Plankton, the owner of the Chum Bucket restaurant, hated by the residents. The villain constructed a Duplicatotron 3000 machine to create an army of robots. The problem is that during production, one of the switches was accidentally set to the "do not listen to orders" setting. The robots got out of control - they are a threat to the entire metropolis. SpongeBob and his companions are trying to defeat the intruders.

Mechanics

The gameplay in the PC version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is mainly based on adventure elements. In the course of the game, the player has to solve numerous puzzles, which require manipulation of elements of the environment or proper use of found objects.

Technical aspects

The visuals in SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom look similar to the animation. The developers from AWE Games decided to combine 2D and 3D graphics. The fans of the cartoon, however, should easily recognize their favorite characters, as well as characteristic places, such as the Bikini Bottom, Goo Lagoon or Sand Mountain.
