Finished my playthrough and enjoyed my time. I’m not sure how I compare it to Cosmic Shake overall since it is a shorter experience but it does refine its mechanics. If I had to compare it to anything, I’d say it’s akin to the modern version of the Movie Game with the lengths, both basically being expansion packs to their preceding games and SB/Pat both being playable. I honestly think it’s better than that, the game did a great job balancing both their gameplay styles. It's a short experience so you may walk away from it wanting more but I didn’t mind because I’d rather have a few satisfying quality levels than too many with filler. All the levels certainly delivered with quality and are meaty as is, they're definitely some of the best in any SB game. Goldfish Island is probably my favorite first level in an SB game, I like how it mixed Goo Lagoon and Kelp Forest's aesthetics together into a unique location. The Neptune's Palace and Atlantis City stretch was an adrenaline rush I haven't felt with SB content in years. The platforming was top notch and the story progression was actually interesting to see unfold. I like how Frozen Jellyfish Fields completely played with your expectations, which I initially thought would be samey going in but ended going in a very different direction compared to other iterations of the location. The boss fights were also better than Cosmic's and quite the fun spectacles. The dialogue was good and gave me genuine smiles. I eagerly look forward to whatever Purple Lamp does next in another few years because they only get better.

Also shoutout to them for taking a location from Are You Happy Now of all eps and making an intense fun level out of it lmao

If you got the physical version, I'm just wondering if it is compatible with Nintendo Switch 1, like how I can use the Hades 2 cartrige even tho it says for Nintendo 2. Somehow I just found out this game was released
