Spongebob Squarepants: Creature from the Krusty Krab

The gap-toothed sponge we all find strangely amusing stars in another video game that turns out to be better than expected. Fancy that.

Plankton finally gets his revenge on the residents of Bikini Bottom. That's what you get for making fun of him!

Let us admit something that most adults won't: we love Spongebob Squarepants. We can't get enough of his nautical adventures. Honestly, we probably appreciate the little yellow guy more than most children do. But as great as the show is, the video games haven't been so great, so we were a little hesitant to give Creature from the Krusty Krab a try.

But, must to our surprise, the game is actually decent. The best part is the control scheme, which takes full advantage of the touchscreen. You swipe the stylus left or right to make the characters move, you swipe down to make them stop and you swipe up to make them jump. You can also interact with the environment using the stylus: for instance, you can pull switches to lower bridges and stun enemies with a quick tap.

It all works quite well and should prove entertaining to the little ones. The quirky humor and gameplay will be a little too simple for more mature tastes but younger gamers should definitely tune into this one.
