BFBBMix (stylized as BFBBMix!) is a work-in-progress mod of Battle for Bikini Bottom made by skyweiss with help from other members of the modding community. Its name is a portmanteau of "BFBB," the original game's abbreviation, and "remix."

Mod info

BFBBmix is a revisit to Battle for Bikini Bottom with new levels, objectives, and music. The terrain and various objects are constructed entirely of simple shapes, like cubes, cones, and cylinders, using Industrial Park to place them. Most other objects are imported from the original game.

On 6 September 2019, Jellyfish Fields was released, marking the first time BFBBmix was made playable.

A demo containing the completed first hub world featuring three worlds and a boss fight is planned to release by the end of 2019. The release date for the full game is to be determined.

Known issues

• Quitting and exiting to the title screen can occasionally freeze on loading. The most common reason for this is quitting while cinematic bars are on screen, so currently the only solution is to wait until the bars are off-screen before quitting.
