SpongeBob SquarePants: BfBB 9+

Very good port.

I was enjoying this game a lot I was having fun comparing it to my PS4 and switch versions until 3 spatulas away from unlocking the final boss my iPad ran out and because of this my save data corrupted all I can say is this is probably a one time thing on iPad but I’d still recommend buying it due to being a great port.

I’m editing this review to say thanks to handy games for trying to get my save back the save is unfortunately lost forever due to me deleting that re downloading without saving it to iCloud but this is great company who made a really impressive mobile port.

A fantastic and faithful remake.

If you got kids that like Spongebob or you’re a sad adult like myself, this game is perfect for you. It’s a game that has it’s challenges but it’s too difficult overall at all and has a lot of fun to be had. It’s got a great story and it’s written in a way that is very reminiscent of classic Spongebob Squarepants. The game is visually stunning and plays beautifully on newer hardware (played on iPad Air 2020) and the touch controls are surprisingly good and responsive. Be sure to fiddle with graphics settings before you jump in to get it looking best on your device.

The ONLY gripe I have is a technical one, and that’s the texture pop in. The level of detail changes are very noticeable in grass especially on “Epic”. This is no reason at all to skip this game as it still looks very very good.

I played the original version when I was a kid and this game stuck with me all this time. Played the PS4 remaster version on a PS5 and it’s strange to say that this version holds up wonderfully... and it supports controller!

Overall, just buy it. It’s a lot of fun and a FULL console game on mobile that costs under half the price with absolutely nothing left out.

Camera Bug and Black Screen

I prefer using double inverse camera controls but whenever a new zone loads or
i respawn, the camera becomes normal and i have to go into settings each time to change it back. also whenever you go into a loading zone and pause the game the screen turns black and you cant rly do much but guess where the X button is and press it with the screen being black to resume playing. other than that the game runs fine.
