SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was released in 2003, and while the reviews were mixed, the game gained cult following enough to receive a remake last year. The ‘Rehydrated’ version is now available on all major consoles and PCs, but now a mobile port is on the way, thanks to developer HandyGames.
Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated was developed by Purple Lamp Studios and published by THQ Nordic, but the mobile version is being created by another THQ studio, HandyGames. A trailer is available showing captured game images from an unknown phone, and looks quite close to the PC and console versions. The game will cost $ 9.99, without in-app purchases or ads, and the description for the trailer status controllers will be supported.
HandyGames confirmed in a tweet this multiplayer mode is not present, but in addition, it should closely follow the Rehydrated version on other platforms. Battle for Bikini Bottom puts you on a mission to collect items and defeat robots that have invaded Bikini Bottom (the home of SpongeBob and his friends), while navigating sections of 3D platforms and various puzzles. The remake is currently at 69/100 on Metacritic (for the PC version).
The Android version is available for pre-registration now on the Google Play Store. this should arrive on January 21st.
