SpongeBob and Patrick have the Wish-granting Mermaid's Tears... what could go wrong? In The Cosmic Shake, you'll travel to 7 distinct Wishworlds, unlocking classic and new platforming skills like the Fishhook Swing and Karate Kick. Don over 30 F.U.N.tastic costumes, meet all your favorite Bikini Bottomites voiced by their original actors, and enjoy a cosmic adventure with SpongeBob's permanent companion, Balloon-Patrick.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

84/100

The Cosmic Shake is a love letter to SpongeBob fans and a masterclass in how to port a high-quality console platformer to mobile. The transition to touch controls is remarkably smooth, with the Fishhook Swing and Karate Kick feeling natural on a screen. Traveling through the seven 'Wishworlds'—like the Wild West or prehistoric Jellyfish Fields—is a visual treat that captures the vibrant energy of the show perfectly.

The inclusion of the original voice actors makes a massive difference in the immersion; it feels like playing through a lost episode of the series. The banter between SpongeBob and 'Balloon-Patrick' is genuinely funny and keeps the narrative moving. With over 30 costumes to unlock, each with its own charm, there is plenty of content for completionists. It's one of the most polished and joyful platformers available on the App Store.

Pretty good
Sun Dec 31 2023 Bucky71301

As someone that grew up watching the show, this is probably the best video game. Got the voices right for the most part, the graphics are great for mobile. The map is improved compared to bfbb. The humor from the show is here, a little turned down compared to what I knew but I can’t complain. Little buggy, glitches here and there but nothing compared to what people are saying. I’ve played at ultra 120hz on a iPhone 14 pro max. Two crashes and the game started without any character audio. But other than that it’s been smooth sailing. Although airplay understandably runs terrible unless you drop the fps to 30. And at that point you pretty much have the switch port. I could really appreciate the trend in full fledge console games coming to mobile.

This port is phenomenal
Wed Oct 29 2025 👍✌️👍❤️

This mobile port is amazing! My game barely even lags and the graphics are crisp. the touch controls are (surprisingly) good and I’m not even running this one one of those Fancy high end iOS devices like an IPad Pro. As long as your device isn’t too old and with proper graphics configuration in the game settings this can actually run on a lot of mobile devices. The only gripes I have with this is that one this game takes up a LOT of storage like I’m talking 10 gigabytes (which is A lot for a mobile game) and the fact that my device gets a bit warm when playing the game on some areas. Which isn’t even a problem with the game itself

Pretty Fun

They game is very fun it has some of its bugs when we are saving squidward and you get smacked by out of the creatures you can fall in the lava and get stuck there without dying and in the glove boss you take damage when there is nothing there little annoyed by this but the game is fun nice graphics the voice acting is perfect the saving is having a little difficult time saving three times I’m not sure why and sometimes it forgets to save but at least it does. It would be 5 Stars if theses bugs were fixed

Solid Mobile Port
Mon Nov 24 2025 Dustin & Riko

Pretty solid Mobile port in all honesty, Controller of support also enhances it very well and makes it feel like you’re playing on a console, I ended up getting all the achievements, no problem as well. If all you have is a Phone or a IPad to play video games on and if you’ve got controller nearby with Bluetooth, I would highly recommend this, Sure it’s not the best way to play cosmic shake, But at the end of the day, it is still cosmic shake and a pretty good solid SpongeBob game at that.

as a SpongeBob fan I approve of this

Its good and I had no problem with it until I got to the part with spongegar, I defeated the boss in that level but it crashed when I was going to the portal so I had to defeat it again. then the last battle with jelly squidward and Kassandra I beat and it kept crashing. I had to redo it twice and even on the second time it crashed so I’m still trying to defeat them. Idk if this is bc of my device or not - edit: I finished it and I think it was really fun

This is why I love HandyGames
Sat Jan 13 2024 iPhoneuser99Tech

Thank you HandyGames for porting this to mobile. When this game first came out I was a little skeptical and I didn’t think this game would capture the nostalgic feeling I had when I was a child playing the older SpongeBob games on PS2, but this game did! I love the colors and everything about this game. Definitely a 10/10 and overall a 5 star rating for this game. This game runs very smooth on my iPhone 15 Pro.

Perfect! But…..

I own this on PC and Console and had to grab it for iOS thank you devs for the port!! but there’s just one problem I have with the iOS version and I noticed there’s no option for auto text during cutscenes please add that feature because having to tap each time a voiced cutscene is done is trash versus just being able to just watch

Please add controller support

So actually, I believe you can actually play the game with the Backbone controller. However, you cannot add this game to the Backbone library because it hasn’t been added to it so just a heads up if you guys wanna get that sorted out so people can download this game directly from Backbone instead of just going to the App Store to find it, I feel like it would be better for you guys and a lot easier for players in general
