==Gameplay==
The coral hills of [[Bikini Bottom]] are wilting! {{Link|SpongeBob}} can get them blooming again if the player helps him stay away from stinging creatures. The player controls SpongeBob, who starts at the top of a pyramid made of 21 cubes, and moves by hopping diagonally from cube to cube. To make SpongeBob move, use the mouse by pointing in a certain direction (makes an white arrow appear) and click to make him hop in that direction. Landing on a cube causes it to change color, and changing every cube to the target color allows the player to progress to the next level. The player only has a certain amount of remaining lives.

At the beginning, jumping on every cube once is enough to advance. In later levels, each cube must be touched multiple times to reach the target color. Other times, cubes change color every time SpongeBob lands on them, instead of remaining on the target color once they reach it. Both elements are then combined in subsequent stages. [[Gary the Snail]] sometimes appears and if the player steps on him, it freezes the enemies for a short time. Jumping off the pyramid results in the player losing a life. Some sides of the pyramid have whirl pools which allows the player to escape danger and return to the top of the pyramid.

The player is impeded by 3 enemies, introduced gradually to the game:
*[[Jellyfish]] - Avoid jellyfish as they roam the reefs looking for sponges to sting.
*Anemones - These annoying enemies change any tile they touch to its previous color. So if one appears, jump on it to squish it!
*Purple [[Seahorse]] - Seahorses chase after SpongeBob when their bubble pops. Use whirl pools to trick them into falling off the pyramid.

The game is over when the player loses all of the remaining lives.
