This time he has enlisted his army of cousins to capture all of SpongeBob's friends! Play as SpongeBob on his epic, most side-scrolly quest through Bikini Bottom ever!

Gamers can download the latest Apple Arcade hotness from the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. There's even a Mac version if you really want to play on your Mac. I'd love to see the download numbers for that!
