SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was released in 2003, and while critical reviews have been mixed, the game gained enough popularity to receive a remake last year. The ‘Rehydrated’ version is already 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 gameplay footage from an unknown phone, and it looks pretty close to the PC and console versions. The game will cost $ 9.99, without in-app purchases or ads, and the description of the trailer states that the controllers will be supported.

HandyGames confirmed in a tweet this multiplayer mode is not present, but other than that it should follow closely the Rehydrated version on other platforms. Battle for Bikini Bottom tasks you with collecting items and defeating the robots that have invaded Bikini Bottom (the home of SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends), while going through 3D platform sections and various puzzles. The remake is currently sitting at 69/100 on Metacritic (for the PC version).

The Android version is now available for pre-registration on the Google Play Store. he expected to arrive on january 21.
