Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

92/100

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a phenomenal mobile port of a beloved cult classic. It perfectly captures the whimsical, high-energy charm of the show while delivering a robust 3D platforming experience. Playing as SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy, each with their own unique abilities, keeps the gameplay varied and engaging throughout the campaign.

The 'Rehydrated' visuals look stunning on mobile displays, with vibrant colors and high-quality textures that rival the console versions. The controls have been intelligently adapted for touch screens, though it truly shines with a Bluetooth controller. It’s a massive, content-rich adventure that appeals to both nostalgic fans of the original and newcomers looking for a top-tier platformer. It’s an absolute joy from start to finish.

WOW!!! Okay let me start off by saying this is simply incredible!! This game looks better on apple devices than it does on console. There are so many options to choose from to enhance the graphics and frame rate. This game runs at a smooth 60fps but can be lowered if need be. Epic graphics on a phone port of Battle For Bikini Bottom is incredible to me! I’m glad I decided to try this out and I do not regret this purchase. I was afraid it would be a bad port but I am sold. It runs so smooth, and the graphics are absolutely insane and all for only 8.99$. The touch screen controls aren’t too hard to learn but I would recommend a xbox controller to make it easier. There are some issues with the opening cinematic where the voice acting doesn’t match up with the mouths moving BUT that’s okay because the rest of the game is so polished and smooth! Well Done!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend this to any Spongebob fan! It’s nice to relive your childhood in all this mobile glory. Well done job Handy Games! Literally blown out of the water at how well this was done.

Runs better than I had thought + impressions

Surprisingly, the game runs better on mobile platforms compared to Nintendo Switch. Overall, the whole experience is just as crisp and smooth like the original game that released in 2003. Satisfying platforming physics and combat, nice interactions and great challenge make this a worthwhile experience. If you’re going to go into this game thinking it is a real remake, then you will be left disappointed, since it is really just the old game with an HD paint job. Overall, it is still a very enjoyable experience and I honestly think it is still the best Spongebob game in existence. I do have a few suggestions though, one is having an option for a fixed camera mode and the other is being able to customize button layouts on screen. Overall, fans of platformers and Spongebob should really check this one out.

AMAZING!!! But…

So this game is the reason I wake up every morning. It’s so much fun! I love playing it with my brother. You have to collect golden spatulas to unlock places, which is so cool! I love it! I love all of the places! BUT… the kelp forest is so hard. It should be easier. Also, the flying Dutchman’s graveyard should be a little easier too! But most importantly, it should not cost 40,000 shiny things to get into the theater. I worked for almost a week to get that many, all for a tiny room with a boring slideshow and all it has on it is pictures of tikis and robots!? Come ON, guys. I thought there would AT LEAST be a golden spatula there, but no. Over all, it’s such a great game, but please fix these problems. Seriously, it’s so much more fun when it’s easier. PLEASE. Thank youuu!!! ❤️

You just met the Spongenator! 🧽🐿

Wow developers! Thank you so much for recreating this beloved game, I’m so glad you guys made it available to play on IOS devices. When I first downloaded the game, nothing but nostalgia poured all over me. I think I’m saying this on behalf of everyone, but this was the first that got me into gaming. The only thing I suggest is making multi-player available for IOS, now that I defeated the whole game! Between the graphics and nostalgic feel, it’s a deservedly 5/5! Since I enjoyed this remodel so much, I definitely want to shed some light on another adored Spongebob game. If you are considering another to remodel, please let it be Lights, Camera, Pants!

NOSTALGIA
Mon Feb 01 2021 mdejesusg

This is my first time writing a review on any app, and I’ve had the App Store for 6-7 years! I played this game when I was a kid for hours and missed playing it. I was shocked to find it in the App Store after playing it on my friend’s switch. I bought it right away, plugged in my rotor riot controller and beat this game in 6-8 hours. I don’t remember this game being so easy and short, but then again this game was made for kids. The most difficult part of the game was definitely Spongebob’s Dream. It is satisfying to destroy enemies and collect the shiny objects. The graphics look amazing on Max settings on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. No lag or slowdowns at all. I highly recommend this game for any one reliving their childhood.

i’m ready!

i really love this game… even with its plethora of bugs (most which are quite funny 😄). but, the major thing that keeps me from giving this game five stars is the fact that it REQUIRES internet to play—something you wouldn’t expect from a pay-to-download game. i mainly play this on my tv, and — after experiencing a recent internet outage in my area — realized i was unable to play the game AT ALL (it stays stuck in the ‘nickelodeon’ screen). other paid pay-to-download games keep a local save on your device to prevent this from happening… not this one. hopefully, this will be fixed/implemented in a future update.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME AND GREAT PORT
Thu Jan 21 2021 iloveplayinggames12354

I bought this game the first day it released on steam. I played it all and loved it. (There was a couple socks I couldn’t find in sand mountain but that’s ok) I then talked about maybe porting the original ps2 version to mobile because I thought the remake would be too demanding but this is so much better then I wanted. There’s only one problem I have with this game. The port itself is fantastic and runs great on my iPhone 11, the problem is it’s an older version of the game. It’s before the patch with mr krabs and being able to replay bosses. If you could please update to the latest patch that would be fantastic and this will be a perfect port! Great job!

Best Platformer on the App Store

You'll get at least like 15 hours of playtime from the game, the graphics look better than anything else on iOS. I feel like the game is easily worth the $30 i spent getting it on steam a few years back, so for $5 it was a no-brainer and now I have something to do in the car, even without needing wifi. This gane is a great platformer, I played the original 20+ years ago as a child, and the game holds up amazingly. The game is stylized just like the original, but the graphics are far better, with it's graphical quality closely mirroring the TV show. Just buy it and you'll have a blast.
