Enemies defeated beforehand will not respawn.Ī screenshot showing the hitboxes display when holding the right mouse button. Each time the player gets defeated, they will respawn to a nearby checkpoint. The gameplay changes slightly for each stage the player decides to go to.

The game is played with an overhead view, similar to real-time strategy games, and only uses the mouse's buttons, with the left mouse button to move or attack and the right one to show the hitbox of everyone on the screen.

Each character has two stages, the 'Dream' and 'Nightmare.' The nightmare for each character is locked until the player finishes the 'Dream' first. The player can choose what dream they can play with, which are SpongeBob, Patrick or Plankton's. The mouse is used to move and interact with the environment as dreams have different objectives that are themed individually. The game is played entirely with the mouse.
