NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Nickelodeon and Lima Sky launched Doodle Jump SpongeBob SquarePants-
a brand-new global mobile app inspired by the award-winning Doodle Jump
app. In this 2D level-based jumper game, players take the role of
SpongeBob, jumping up and through Bikini Bottom locales while trying to
avoid infamous villains, including Man Ray and Dirty Bubble, swirling
whirlpools, diabolical jellyfish, and more; with the ultimate goal of
restoring order to the sea. Available now on iOS with Android coming
soon, Doodle Jump SpongeBob marks Lima Sky's first co-brand with
an animated series for their iconic Doodle Jump game.
In Doodle Jump SpongeBob, the diabolical Plankton and his
jailhouse crew have stolen the Krabby Patty secret formula. Players must
traverse through 40 themed levels, unlocking new worlds and brand-new
features as they advance in the game, encountering Bikini Bottom pals,
Patrick, Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs and Squidward. Throughout the game,
users earn coins during play and by completing daily and weekly
challenges, like Frogfish Beware, when players must defeat 10 frogfish
within one week. They also use cool power-ups, such as Magnetic
Personality, which gives players a magnetic charge that attracts all the
coins on the screen. In Doodle Jump SpongeBob, players can
purchase power-ups, including shields, vehicles and health, and
costumes; and boosts including Head Start, that advances a player higher
in a level using a submarine; all using coins collected during play or
purchased through an iTunes account.
Doodle Jump SpongeBob is available worldwide in eight languages:
English, Spanish (Latam), Spanish (Spain), German, French, Dutch,
Portuguese and Italian.

one of the most beloved animated characters in TV history, and a global
pop culture phenomenon. After almost 15 years on TV, SpongeBob is year
