SpongeBob SquarePants Cosmic Shake review

System: Switch
Release date: January 31, 2023
Developer: Purple Lamp
Publisher: THQ Nordic


Of all the platforming juggernauts that come to mind when I recall the early 2000s, SpongeBob SquarePants is not among them. In 2020, THQ released a remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom – a 2003 game in every sense of the word. After selling over two million copies, it landed us with an all new spiritual sequel to that game in the form of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. The main hurdle this sequel has to overcome is being unshackled from the weapons-grade nostalgia that propelled its predecessor to success. To be fair to The Cosmic Shake, this is a difficult act to follow. How exactly do you craft a follow-up to a remake of a twenty year old game? Developer Purple Lamp has two decades of platformers to draw inspiration from, and the one it chooses to wear on its sleeve is unfortunately the remake that preceded it.

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is only a few weeks away, which means it’s about time for information surrounding the game to begin leaking online. This may have already begun, with someone on Reddit posting what might be the back of the game’s box.

Reddit user Sad_Bat1933 posted an image of the presumed box online, and for the most part it looks pretty standard. However, it does show what seems to be an as-of-yet-unrevealed new mode for the game, titled “Magolor Epilogue”. You can view an image of the box below.
