SpongeBob SolitairePants is now available on Apple Arcade.
Apple
Apple Arcade added SpongeBob SolitairePants — a SpongeBob-spin on solitaire — to its catalog of games on Friday. SpongeBob SolitairePants features different play modes and objectives themed around the show, such as building a Krabby Patty or catching jellyfish.
According to Apple, the game’s creator is 19-year-old Brayden Gogis, who is a SpongeBob superfan. So players can look forward to tons of references to the series. SpongeBob SolitairePants sounds like the perfect companion game to SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit, which was released in 2020.
