Defend the Krusty Krab! is a simplistic tower defense game that was made to promote the second SpongeBob movie, Sponge Out of Water. It's based on the movie's opening scene, in which Plankton attacks the Krusty Krab with war machines and SpongeBob and Patrick fight back with food weapons.

Gameplay[]
Defend the Krusty Krab! has a gameplay style that is slightly similar to that of Plants vs. Zombies; the point of interest that the player must defend is the Krusty Krab, which is positioned in the middle of the screen. The Krusty Krab has six points at which towers can be placed after the player buys them. These towers will automatically shoot at any enemy that comes near, as with most tower defense games. Defeated enemies reward the player with money to buy more towers with, though the game also gives the player a small amount of money every few seconds. The player isn't able to outright sell towers, but they can place towers on spots that already have a tower to swap a tower out with a newer one, after which the player is given an amount of money depending on the cost difference between the two towers.
The game consists of three levels, each of which entails a multitude of enemies advancing towards the Krusty Krab to attack it, with some enemies continuously attacking the building and others simply getting in a few attacks before leaving, as well as one especially powerful enemy appearing at the end of the level as a boss. A level is won once all the enemies are destroyed. The game is lost if the player runs out of health and the Krusty Krab is destroyed.
