    I have been scouring the reviews for this game, and find it attrocious that the developers themselves are saying the game has been "updated regularly" to fix bugs. There has not been 1 update since launch, and ZERO bugs have been fixed. You can't even see when food items are placed on a plate in Sandy's BBQ level. HEY DEVS, are you EVER going to fix this?

  • [6]Steam user Steam user …1617Steam review · Nov 25, 2025 · Not recommended

    I really wanted to enjoy this game because the core idea is fun, but the PC version has too many bugs that get in the way. Major issues I ran into: Sandy’s Dome levels are basically broken. The corn appears under the plate, so you can’t even see whether it’s placed correctly. Mouse wheel scrolling is painfully slow. Navigating menus or upgrades takes way too long because each scroll barely moves the screen. The claw …

    Very addictive and very fun. Simple gameplay with a nice bit of challenge, a large amount of varied kitchens and even a little bit of character customisation with different outfit parts to unlock. I did unfortunately experience a few bugs and visual issues, but nothing that ruined the game by any means. Something I had quite a bit of fun with and definitely recommend checking out.

    Who knew flipping digital Krabby Patties could be this addictive? 🍔✨ SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off is pure chaotic fun. It’s a fast-paced cooking game set right in Bikini Bottom, and the best part is how much it feels like SpongeBob. The characters are spot on—SpongeBob’s energy, Squidward’s sarcasm, Mr. Krabs’ money obsession—it all adds to the charm. The gameplay is simple to pick up but surprisingly challenging as …

    Initially I thought this game was fun and it is pretty addicting however it has so many problems that I just can't recommend buying it. 1. The corn doesn't show on the plate at Sandy's BBQ. 2. The game will sometimes freeze for a few seconds when making oatmeal at Ham-A-Lot. 3. Customers will sometimes be invisible (I don't remember where this happened but it was at one of the Goo Lagoon locations). 4. The "Bubble Buddy Boost" achievement for activating a power 5 times in a single level still…
