MUMBAI: US kids broadcaster Nickelodeon has launched a new city building app, SpongeBob Moves In. Available worldwide, SpongeBob Moves In features a 2D design and aims to give fans a new way to interact with the animated series ‘SpongeBob Squarepants‘.

In the game built for iOS, players build Bikini Bottom to their own tastes and are tasked with keeping the city‘s residents happy by making all their wishes come true. As players advance in the game, they can unlock exclusive-to-the-app, untold stories about how their characters, including SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, Squidward and Sandy, first arrived in the town. Written by the SpongeBob SquarePants series writing staff, these stories are told through new animated short videos unlocked throughout the game.
