A delightful game. Check out the official announcement below.
NEW YORK — October 15 — Today the mobile hit, SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off, received its biggest update ever, adding in the ability to upgrade and level up characters to give them new skills and powers based on a player’s chosen character and accessories, creating all new ways to be the best fry cook ever. The update also brings a new restaurant for players to show off their new cooking skills at: Pasta La Vista, New Kelp City’s finest Italian restaurant. Co-developed by Tilting Point and cooking game veterans Nukebox Studios (Food Truck Chef) in partnership with Nickelodeon, SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off is available for free on iOS and Android.
New features added in the Avatar 2.0 update include:
Characters Level Up: Each character now has experience levels and passive abilities that get stronger as they level up
Passive Skills: Different benefits like additional boosters to help players complete levels
Character Selection: Players can now choose which character to bring to a restaurant, gaining the benefit of that character’s passive skills for that challenge, adding a new layer of strategy
Experience: Character experience is now gained from obtaining avatar items for the character; the higher the rarity, the higher the experience gained for collecting the item
These new features change the way the game is played and higher character levels will be made obtainable in the future as new gear is released for each character.
In addition to the revamp to character progression, players will now be able to serve up spaghetti and delight customers with delicious delicacies at the new restaurant, Pasta la Vista. More content will continue to be added to the game regularly with Halloween themed costumes to come soon!
