SpongeBob SquarePants – Nighty Nightmare

Description

This game has you entering the dreams of characters from SpongeBob Squarepants, including SpongeBob, Patrick, and Plankton. You play this game from each of these characters, living out their dreams as you explore their dreamed version of Bikini Bottom. You start by choosing to start as SpongeBob, Patrick, or Plankton. Then you choose which dream to play (1 available and 1 locked by default.)

As SpongeBob, you race a hot rod in an attempt to win the Bikini Bottom Speedway Open. Controls are simple point and click with the mouse: left click to accelerate and/or use bubbles to attack, and right click to display large circles that essentially show limit zones of collision. If your circle crosses into another, you’ll crash.

As Patrick, you don the guise of Starfishman in an attempt to stop Dread Patrick’s schemes. Again, controls are mouse based, with left clicking serving as an attack/move function, and right clicking controlling faster movement (pseudo-flight). …

SpongeBob SquarePants – The Movie

Description

The plot of the video game is based on the film, albeit liberties are taken occasionally. King Neptune’s crown has been stolen by Plankton and SpongeBob and Patrick must retrieve it from Shell City and save Bikini Bottom.

[*] Console versions
The gameplay is similar to that from Heavy Iron Studios’ previous game, Battle for Bikini Bottom, as it was created using the same engine and shares many assets. There are 18 levels in the game that loosely follow the storyline of the film. The player controls SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, both of whom have their own unique set of abilities. Each level contains a main objective and side tasks. Four levels involve a boss enemy that the player must defeat to progress to the next level. Boss enemies include the giant frogfish from the film, Dennis (who is fought twice), and King Neptune. Each main level and side task will give the player a Goofy Goober Token once completed, and the player needs these tokens to learn certain skills and proceed to the game. Although the player only needs to complete a level’s main component in order to unlock the next level, it is not possible to complete the game only doing the main levels (though the player does not need to do all of the side tasks). …

Oddworld – Abe’s Exoddus

Description

In Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee Abe shut down RuptureFarms and saved his buddies from becoming snacks. But Rupture farms was just the beginning; the Glukkons are digging up bones at the ancient Mudokon burial grounds. They use the bones to make Soul Storm Brew. Abe must travel to the Soul Storm Brewery, stop those corporate villains and save the enslaved Mudokon workers.

Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus is a 2D platform game very similar to its predecessor both visually and gameplay-wise. Like in the previous game, Abe has to outsmart his foes and avoid obstacles rather than confront them directly. The game is larger than its predecessor and is more oriented towards puzzle-solving, featuring more complex interaction with the Mudokons, who can now be angry, wired, depressed, sick, or blind. The first three problematic conditions can be removed with the appropriate “Gamespeak” command; sick Mudokons must be cured with a special item, while blind ones will follow Abe’s voice and may fall to their deaths if Abe doesn’t stop them in time. …

Oddworld – Abe’s Oddysee

Description

Abe is a Mudokon, a member of a once prosperous race which has now been enslaved by the Glukkons, forced to work in their huge corporations. The food factories have found a new type of meat, delicious to all the inhabitants, though no one knows the recipe. Following his stomach, Abe eavesdrops on the corporate leaders’ conversation, and makes the most frightening and disgusting discovery: his own race is that secret delicious food.

Alas, Abe has been spotted, and the guards are marching towards him. He must escape, but he can’t leave his friends to the mercy of the Glukkons and their henchmen. He must rescue as many as he can, and tell the world the truth about what he has found out.

Abe’s Oddysee is the first game set in the fictional Oddworld universe. It is a platformer with puzzle-solving elements, focusing on the portrayal of a weak, underpowered character in a grim and hostile world, who has to rely on his cunning to outwit enemies and overcome hazards. Abe is almost completely helpless: he cannot use weapons and is usually instantly killed by his brutal enemies if he confronts them directly. For this reason, most of the game involves careful exploration, timed movement, sneaking, and outsmarting the foes through various means: throwing stones to confuse them, luring them into traps, etc. Abe can run, jump, climb, tiptoe, crouch, and roll; in most areas these actions are essential to his survival. A few stages involve Abe riding a large animal known as Elum. …
