Spongebob Squarepants: The Yellow Avenger

Hello. This is my first entry. Today is my birthday, how boring. I'm another year older *screams and freaks out*

I dunno wat's going on in 304 seminar and 306 lecture. The seminar sounds like 205 and i dunno if i shld be glad the fierce-and-like-to-anyhow-arrow-pple lecturer is not teaching this sem anymore. I bet he got complains for shouting and scolding in lectures. The new lecturer is supposedly "very nice", but cant teach. So hard to satisfy everyone. Like how they changed the shuttle bus routes in school 4 times since when i'm year 1.

Anyways, i recently completed spongebob squarepants: the yellow avenger on psp. Looks childish at first, but reallie qte fun haha. It's about spongebob trying to remove the dirty bubbles in bikini bottom cos the superheros were too old to do so (I know, sounds lame). Plenty of things to jump onto and plenty of quests to complete.

The citizens run arnd with red bubbles flying about their heads and jumping on them knocks off the bubbles, but if they hit you you'll lose a bit of life in the process. Even better, the citizens will all be back if you leave an area and come back to it. So expect to be jumping on heads by the hundreds. And then there's the squeezing of jellyfish jelly that you can store for extra game life. I'm not exactly good in controlling spongebob arnd, gotta squeeze every single jellyfish i see. There's also plenty of floating bottles, moving platforms, and conveyor belts to jump on. It's all abt jumping arnd =\

There's lots and lots and lots of backtracking involved in the quests and much of it can't be skipped. Qte a few new areas are opened up by super powers that SpongeBob picks up along the way and these are the more interesting parts since each power is started on a special pad on the grnd and activates for only a limited time. But still, way too much of the time SpongeBob's being the errand boy and most of the game is running back and forth to find every knickknack and doodad that others have lost.

The biggest challenge is in figuring out where the quest items are. The game rarely gives many clues and i'm not exactly a fan of the cartoon to *lightbulb lights above head* come up with an idea of where someone's house or job is. Yes, once again, i cheated a searched for game walkthru online. Even though it got reallie boring towards to end when i had to go back to the same few places all over again but still, jus cant leave an incomplete game lying there.

I nv knew the characters in spongebob cartoon before this. I think i can name 90% of them all now. And it's amazing how the game looks exactly like the cartoon, even the homes! Like sandy's home, a big jar with green grass and an exercise wheel hahaha. And this game got yuqin gian on psp. Her red psp slim's on the way, subject to jingwan's approval.
