Community Insight:
This is hands down best game ever created we always play this we even log on during day and during night this game absolutely fantastic times 100.000.
We love the game play it everyday. What we don't like is that the King Krab castle world everything is like 100 or more energy to do a task just to complete a quest. We been on this world for like 2weeks and we're not spending no more money to buy energy or gems. That our only problem other than that we love the game.
Love SpongeBob so far so good not too hard to get energy and yes Im grown lol.
This game is so fun even tho we only played for 1 minute we have never busted so hard in our life when Patrick came on the screen we also came it took us several minutes just to clean the screen that we forgot we were playing the game would recommend to anyone to play this game so fun we have no idea what its about but Im going to delete it cause we got bored after replaced the cabbage but fun game for the first 30 seconds.
Being a SpongeBob fan, we enjoy playing this game nonstop. Truly recommend it.
Love this game. Definitely brings back some childhood memories.
Its a pretty good game just wish you can optimize on increasing the energy bars maybe its late done the road but we feel like it will make the game go faster a bit. Idk that our opinion.
L cant understand most word in this game.l am Chinese .please.
Im a big sponge bob fan :) every situation in our life has a sponge reference. & Im obsessed with this game its easy and doesnt take 5 ever for our production to load :) great set up highly recommend.
We hope that in the future it can give us the option to pay once at a time without storing our information on the server or questionable computer program.
The game is addictive and fun to play, but it costs entirely too much energy to clear resources with only 50 energy. Yes there are others ways to get energy but it doesnt add up to enough play time.
Love playing this game, but notice that it cannot properly sync between iPhone and iPad. Ive checked Game Center to ensure everything matched between the two, and it does. However, our iPhone shows on level 9 currently with some extra items unlocked, while iPad is showing on level 8 currently and having to redo tasks already completed. How can that be fixed so they are both on the correct level and play.
Fun game but like everyone else is saying you use up your energy very fast and then its not fun to wait. Come on developerslessen the energy jobs so we can play more longer. You can only play for like 1 minute before running out of energy makes us mad stop being so greedy with energy.
The game is so good we are obsessed, the only thing is the energy. We can find a lot of ways to get energy yes but you need a lot of it. We need a new way to get more energy because we need a lot to even take out 10 debris. We hope you could make it to where we start with 250 because it would be way better. Then the gems you need to spend so much for so little energy. We wanna love the game more then we do now. Please do something.
We love this game! We play it at least twice a day. We wish we were able to go back into the places in the chapter after completing them or be able to take some of the objects in the chapter places to use in bikini bottom. Super fun game.
We love the game is super fun. The plot is amazing and ironic there is just something we cant handle like one of them is being scammed by watching an ad, but you dont get the reward. It doesnt happen all the time, but we hate when it does happen, another thing is we dont like how kelp city was really short, it wouldve been better if it had more adventure in it the final issue is how you have to wait a long time for energy and the new city. There werent one of the machines where you traded the sweets to get energy so those are just the three things we did not like.
Good entertaining game but the basic energy needs to higher than 50.
The energy system isnt too bad but there either needs to be a increase in the daily energy bar from 50 to 100, or the energy it takes to remove debris should be lowered. The 3 diamonds a day helps, but it isnt enough. The time it takes to reset the game machine for more energy should also be lowered, all of our suggestions would greatly increase retention and make people play longer. (please we love this game so far, we hate that we have to wait so long to play more).
This game is very fun but it takes so much energy for debris we wish there was a way to get it a littler quicker.
This game is so fun but we hate that the limit on energy is 50 when most things on the special worlds are at like 200+ so if we dont want to spend a bunch of money we can only get on once every 40 minutes or so so get one thing off the map :( we wanna keep playing but Im tired or not ever having enough energy and we know theres the things where you can get more energy but its hard to obtain the items you need to get more energy when you never have energy to use.
It is a nice game, but like others have said it would be nice to get more energy easily. But im just starting the game and am only only at the Chum Bucket so theres more to discover :).
Why is there no Chinese??? Have developers consin people we also play this game.
This game is fun.. However.. Unless you are prepared to spend a ton of money things progress VERY SLOWLY. It feels like this game was made purely for the cash grab with very little thought to playability without spending actual cash.
They dont give you enough energy Ive been playing for a few months and the game is just getting boring because you never have enough energy.
We really love this game. So Ill start with some pros! Its extremely fun. We love that there are various areas within the game to clean up, Jellyfish Field, Kelp City etc. We love details on the game, really feels like the actually show. Love how you get to clean up areas the different boards and fine treats and speciality to help you along the way. The game it really cool and we enjoy playing it, trying to make our boards look absolutely clean and looking like a city again! But heres our problem we have no energy to do ALL the cleaning it requires in the game. Its very hard to play it when we run out so quickly. The extra games within the game helps like the game room, the snacks, and things like that but you only get 50 and some of the area that need to be cleaned to go to the next level is much more than that. We which it was higher and we wish every time you level up or go to another city you can start us off with at least 200 energy so we can start cleaning in the next board. We dont even get our gem after watching multiple ads and its so hard to exit out of them. The pies help so much! But so hard to get. Overall fun game, thats gonna require you to spend you money to actually enjoy it.
Definitely needs more energy options. There are a few select things to do throughout the game to earn energy, but its barely anything. Most times youre waiting hours for things you need. Its a fun game, but takes up way too much time and effort for it to continue being fun.
We really love this game but what we dont like is that everything takes so much energy and on top of that its way to hard to get the energy and when you do get some energy built up now you have to make 3 things just to get one item and everything is 75 energy or up that needs an big update. Then in order to get daily bonus you have to make a purchase with real money how fair is that and their a lot more flaws but we really thinking about deleting the game going through everything with this game its not relaxing and its very frustrating.
The game is fun it just bothers us how hard it is to get energy we want to be able to clean up the towns more and it takes a way too long.
Really? 50 energy? And 1 single little tiny piece of seaweed used 9? Im sorry but that makes this game unplayable we can clear a few little pieces of debris or 1 big one and then we have to wait forever to get more? No thanks we wont be playing this game. We love SpongeBob so thats the only reason we gave 3 stars, other than that the game isnt fun because the low energy makes it boring. And we realize there are ways to get additional energy but you have to use energy to break things to get the resources you need to sell at the snack shack to get more energy. Its a pretty stupid process if you ask us. Ill stick to the other games u have that arent just trying to clear peoples wallets.
We know you guys want to keep the player engaged, but the amount of energy it takes to clear out ONE item is insane. Not to mention how hard it is to even get energy. We rather play other games. Kinda fun, but keep it.
Cant use jelly or oyster feed to collect items or make them. Also the energy takes to long to recharge for the amount it takes to use to clear the debris. At first this game was fun but these little thing cut our play time short due to having wait around.
We have so many coins. You should let us buy energy with coins the game would be way more fun.
Game is very addictive great to play. We've deduced the reason for the low energy is because the game itself only has 13 levels. They make it very tedious to progress because it would be a short game. To engage and make players play longer and spend a few $$ they make removing one piece of litter 150 energy with about 10 pieces if junk in the same area to progress. So to explain im at Chum bucket to move forwards there are 5 pieces of junk to remove that cost 600-700 energy; that's 700 minutes or 11 hours and 40 minutes just to move one space then you have to do it again to move the next space and the board is quite large. It would take close to 10 days to do complete Chum bucket just waiting for enough energy or you can post and move faster. The first two level was good pace to complete took about 3 days but from Atlantis on Energy is ridiculous at least give us 100 energy an hour.
Sometimes you get the option to watch a video for extra energy or gems but the issue is that half the time they dont pay out even after multiple watches. You top off at 50 energy and a most things cost a good chunk of energy. At most you can clear 5 items before your energy is depleted and it takes almost an hour to replenish. You get a few mins of play before you have to wait.
We feel like when we first started playing the game, there were more opportunities for energy. Now Im having to watch adds or purchase more just to play a tiny bit more. Theres also not more motivation to play once youve purchased all the buildings and businesses you can. Feels pointless the continue with no more growth within the game available.
Whenever we open the game, we are always forced to get stuck in the crab roe bun making interface. When we log out, any tap on the screen is invalid. We can't play the game properly anymore, and we hope we can get your help.
We liked the game a lot at first and played quite a bit but now we are almost level 34 and have been stuck in the same section Chapter 2 Viking Ship for months because everything requires so much energy and materials to get any further. The only way to get more energy the fastest is by spending money obliviously, we already have 2 special buildings from previous season pass and use the special machines for the extra energy. We are about to just uninstall the game for a while until they maybe fix this problem.
We finished glove world and cleared all the attractions. We still dont have the pet rock. Its now closed and no rock to help get resources.
Since placing an art gallery museum, we can speed up getting energy without costing any gems. Now, its costing a lot of gems just to get more energy in an instant and we dont know why its costing us a lot of gems and it didnt cost any gems to more energy in an instant.
It has the potential to be a great game, but as many mentioned its too hard to get energy to progress even a little. We understand that there are other ways to get energy, but even those require a cool down and you have to farm to get the things to use those machines. Its too slow for our liking considering most things are like 35-69 energy and we only have 50.
The game is great in terms of graphics and competitions that reel you in wanting more and more hours of play time. We like that some bugs have already been fixed like completing a variety of tasks for the Sandy or Mr crabs tasks that earn you keys. Before it would always ask to complete deliveries and sometimes 30 at a time! We really enjoy the side quests like the couch surfing one where there were an abundance of resources that were reasonably costed for energies and it gave us something to look forward to outside of the original game path. Some existing cons are watching the ads for the gems or extra energy but it not registering. It happens to us quite often and deters us from watching them because it really is a hit or miss. Another issue we find is the amount of energy that things costs. Im currently in the dooms tower world but why does coral cost 320 energies? The number of coral doesnt change based on the energies spent. The game is slow moving and even though there are competitions and other challenges for an opportunity to earn more energy, when we use them its gone in 2 uses. This greatly deters us from playing as often as we used to.
So much waiting only to burn through all your energy supplies in less than 3 seconds when filled completely.
The game is actually super fun but the energy in it is awful, it can cost 65 to remove something and your bar only generates 50, they have other ways to get it but its just extremely hard, definitely hope they fix this could be a super amazing game but that aspect ruins it. Also you can buy energy but its super expensive and not really no value.
If you enjoy watching ads in your free time, this is the perfect game for you. This game is beyond fun to play but it is so difficult to clear certain parts. Some places take 300 energy along with like 200 just to open the next portion. Its nearly impossible to clear it unless you keep watching all the ads to get small portions of energy over and over again. So much potential but its just failing to be consistently fun when you keep running into things that take so much energy.
You burn through energy so fast and spend it within second.
We love this game, its one of our daily plays. Its got really fun animations and we really enjoy the side quests and map adventures, like the one in the couch cause it only cost a little energy! We agree, it takes far too long to accrue a sufficient amount of energy!! Most times when we watch an ad to get free stuff, we return to the game and havent earned anything! (Gems or energy). We think that energy should increase by 10 units every cycle and the cost of clean up should decrease across the game, permanently. You also should know that we are speaking as someone who has spent real money to enhance our game experience.
This game would be more fun if it didnt cost 370 points to clear something just for it to cost another 400 to clear something! Its literally taken us weeks to do one task! Im not spending money for it to be gone with two task! Uninstalled.
We love the game, its great and we love being able to build our own Bikini Bottom but it definitely needs either a way to make more energy or make things cost way less. The videos should be at least 20-30 energy when some things cost 90 energy each. Sometimes videos dont work though and makes it very difficult to play the game. Usually only get about 10-15 minutes of gameplay before we have to wait a while for more energy.
Only gives 50 energy every time. A lot of debris makes it hard to build anything and cant build anything with the amount of energy given. We feel we will never be able to fully build our town how we want because of soooo much debris and NOT enough energy. Even with the mini games. They get harder as you go but the reward for energy stays at 50. For example, If we have to merge 3 items 5 times and we have to keep going back every other day to complete it and it STILL only gives us 50 energy, its a problem.
The game is fun but sometimes the quest areas are so expensive energy-wise. Like the Chum Bucket now, breaking down one stack of chum is 110 energy. Its basically impossible to do well.
