SpongeBob Moves In! was a SpongeBob SquarePants city-building app that would let one experience what it was like to live in Bikini Bottom. The player would play as SpongeBob SquarePants. It was released by Nickelodeon on June 6, 2013 and shut down on June 24, 2021.
The game was later succeeded by SpongeBob Adventures: In A Jam in 2023.
About[]
SpongeBob Moves In! was a city-building app that let the player experience what it is like to live in Bikini Bottom. It also provided information on the characters who were not told in the show. The player learned about Sandy before going into the ocean and got to see many short videos with all of the characters in the show. The player would also get to see Bikini Bottom grow as the player built the city up. They could also visit Patchy's Bikini Bottom.
The app was available on the App Store, iTunes, and the Google Play Store. It was for iPhones, iPod touches (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations), iPads, and Androids. This app was originally $2.99 USD and £1.96 GBP.
In November 2020, the game became unavailable for Amazon Fire Tablets.

Reception[]
- As of July 22, 2014, this game is the third highest ranking paid adventure game on the iPad in the United States. It also holds a 3.9 out of 5 stars rating as of October 24, 2017.[1] It is #2 for the iPhone.[2]
Criticism[]
This app has come under criticism because prices for coins and jellyfish for in-app purchases range from $0.99 to $99.99.
Shutdown[]
In March 2021, it was announced that the game would close on May 31, 2021, nearly 8 years after its release.[3][4]
However, the shut down did not go as planned. For the next 3 1/2 weeks after the initial shut down date, users were still able to download and access the game with no issues. It eventually shut down on June 24, 2021, almost a month after the original shut down date. If the game was already installed on a user's phone, then when they opened the app they were told to update the app, but because it was removed off the App Store and Play Store, it was impossible to update it. This made it impossible to play the game because the game wouldn't let the player bypass the screen telling the user to update.
- This is the case for most users. Some users still have the option to play if they do not get an update screen. If they don't get an update screen they can click past the shut down notification screen twice and still be able to access the game.[5]
- The game was shut down 8 years and 18 days after its release.

Walkthrough[]
Trivia[]
General[]
- This game is similar to The Simpsons: Tapped Out.
- Starting in the October 2014 update, Gene Scallop is just called "Gene" for unknown reasons.
- This game reveals that Pearl watches The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. It can be found out by tapping on her and seeing that one of her options is watching the show.
- For a short time there was a "Patchy's Bikini Bottom" icon where the player could see "Patchy's" Bikini Bottom. It was removed shortly after. It is unknown why it was removed. It returned in the January 15, 2015 update.
- This game is the only place where the Seed Shop is featured.
- SpongeBuck's statue was featured in this game.
- As of 2019, the game was silent in updates for events for about 3 years, until 2018, where they released some Halloween items.
- Then, in 2019, a SpongeBob's birthday-themed update was released which added Gary to the game. Making it the first new event, since "Plankton Mania," which was released back in 2015.
- However, the game was still not as active in updates as it used to be before its shutdown, with only having holiday events and said events going on for months after they should have ended.
- In the game Barnacle Boy is smaller than Mermaid Man. In the show however, Mermaid Man is smaller than Barnacle Boy.
- This is the last SpongeBob game to date that features Squilliam Fancyson.
- In the German Play Store, the game is mistakenly labeled as "SpongeBob und seine Freunde," which translates to "SpongeBob and His Friends."

Errors[]
- One of Mr. Krabs' eyes floats above him when his other eye is just standing.
- Rusty's Rib Eye is called Rusty's Ribeye.
- When you give someone flowers or a drink, he or she does the same action as he or she does when receiving food (e.g. it looks like they are eating the flowers or drink).
- When the Krusty Krab is making food, the Krabby Patty sign in the left window has a guy in front of the sign.
- Mr. Krabs' house is misspelled as "Mr. Krab's House."
- In the July 9, 2014 update, while something is being made, the numbers of time it takes to make glitch up. It can only be fixed by completely exiting the app and reloading it.
- It also happens to peoples' names, etc.
- When Squidward is happy after receiving his food/drink/flowers, he doesn't have eyebrows.
- When a plant or object is ready to be removed, it shows a bubble with an XP star inside of it. But sometimes, the star can hide behind an object, but the bubble is fully visible.
- Some of the items are stretched out in either the bubble when it is done or the box where you select it to make it.
- The characters are way too big in size compared to the buildings.
- Example: SpongeBob is half the size as Reef Cinema.
- Every once in a while, a product will not come out. The only way to fix it is to make another product in that same area or wait if you have another product being made (in that same area).
- Sometimes while there's a coin icon or an XP star floating in a bubble on top on the object, a quarter of the bubble will be cut and spin in a circle.
- In the October 2014 update:
- The numbers for the time remaining on something are longer than the boxes.
- Mr. Krabs' name is misspelled as "Mr Krabs."
- Old Man Jenkins is called "HillBilly." It is especially odd because his house is called "Jenkins' House."
- After the normal Nickelodeon logo appears, it turns to the side and is squished.
- On the loading/title Screen, there is a code that isn't supposed to be there.
- Everyone got an image when one went into their profile. However, Stan the Elf did not.
- This was fixed in the November 6, 2014 update.
- On the Fiery Fist O' Pain, the laser is always on. However, the cart goes right through the laser without being split in half.
- In the Ice Cream Shop, if you buy "Sea Salt Ice Cream" there's a chance that it will be a "Salty Banana" milkshake.
- Gary's Bounce House produces a much more harsh theme comparable to the Jail when tapped on. This is likely an error considering that it's supposed to be a bounce house.
- The Veggie Patty icon pictures it with onion and cheese, despite its recipe not including those ingredients.
