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.

The mod has been released in milestones as its development progressed towards the full game.

  • A demo of Jellyfish Fields was released on 6 September 2019.
  • Chapter 1, containing Jellyfish Fields, Downtown Bikini Bottom, Goo Lagoon, and Poseidome, was released on 14 March 2020.
  • Chapter 2, adding Rock Bottom, Mermalair, Sand Mountain, and Industrial Park, was released on 6 June 2020.
  • The full game version was released on 28 August 2020.

A copy of Battle for Bikini Bottom is required in order to play BFBBMix. The creator of this mod does not endorse distribution of copyrighted material and has only included modified data and none of the base game's data for that reason.
