ComingSoon spoke with Outright Games Production Director Chris Rose about The Patrick Star Game. The SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off video game is out today on consoles and PC.

"It's Patrick's moment: see the world through his starry eyes to create new wacky, physics-based adventures, meet his friends along the way and go on lots of fun individual missions. Clear out Squidward's third favorite sunbathing spot by throwing lounge chairs, firing a water cannon and blowing away visitors with a belch; or go on a Skydiving challenge with Sandy and use Gliding Wings, a Parachute or Parasol to fall through targets and land on a moving landing zone. Throughout the game, fans can also unlock multiple costumes and spot hilarious Easter Eggs from the series as they progress, including the grave of Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen, Squidward's infinite sunglasses, bubble cakes and more," the official description reads.

Patrick Star is a very unserious character, and the game captures that very well. Can you talk about the character-focused gameplay? A goofy physics-based game makes perfect sense for him, as opposed to a more traditionally structured platformer.

Patrick’s carefree, unpredictable nature makes him perfect for a physics-based sandbox game. We wanted players to feel like they were experiencing the world as Patrick does, where everything is a little bit silly and chaotic. A structured platformer wouldn’t capture his crazy antics in the same way. The sandbox approach lets players embrace his playful side and create their own fun, just as Patrick would in his “anything goes” world.
