Sponge Bob Squarepants Boo Or Boom

You control SpongeBob, navigating a grid-based map from an overhead view. Your main tool is placing bombs to clear obstacles and defeat the ghosts that wander the lanes. The objective is to survive each round, clearing all the enemies before the timer runs out or you get caught. Movement feels grid-locked, with each press of the arrow keys shifting you one square. You have to time your bomb placements carefully, as the blast can reach you if you don't move away quickly. The pacing starts relaxed but picks up as more ghosts appear and the maze opens. It creates a light, repetitive tension between planning your route and reacting to encroaching enemies. The game feels like a quick, casual puzzle where a single misstep ends your run.
