Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom
A downloadable game for Windows
Squidward's earned his chance to wow a crowd during the Symphony Orchestral performance in Glove World. As Squidward is warming up, he receives a call from Mr. Krabs, warning him about a smelly-smell, the kind of smelly-smell that smells... smelly. All at once, a massive swarm of jellyfish overrun Bikini Bottom, and begin attacking Bikini Bottomites! Oh, the horror!
It's up to SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs to eradicate the Jellien invasion, and the resulting clones that follow. They'll have to stay one step ahead of the Overlord's advances in order to survive these weird, and rather horrifying, monstrosities that are on the prowl. They've fought robots, bucketheads, and more... surely they can take down some scary Jelliens, right? ...Right?
Sigh, better grab some mayo and get to it! I have a feeling tonight's going to be a very long night.

Install instructions
Lookin' to snag Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom, are ye? Awesome; here's how you can download, extract, and play the game!
STEP 1:
Before you download the game, we'd highly recommend downloading the latest version of WinRAR, a very important piece of software that will allow you to extract the game. Ensure that you can open .rar files! You can ignore any requests to donate or buy the full version of WinRAR, if you wish.
STEP 2:
When you've successfully installed WinRAR to your PC, you can download Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom. Give it some time, and when it's fully downloaded, WinRAR should open the .rar file automatically. If not, open the file through your browser, or in your File Explorer.
STEP 3:
Once the .rar file has been opened in WinRAR, you'll want to select, "Extract." From here, you'll be given a location to save the extracted contents; select, "Browse," and choose a folder location that can hold the file size of the game.
STEP 4:
When you've found a location, create a new folder in that location; name it whatever you'd like, as long as you can find it shortly after! Select this new folder, and then confirm that folder as your extraction location.
STEP 5:
Once that's done, begin extraction! It may take some time, but once it's finished, you can close WinRAR. From here, go to the extraction folder, go through an extra folder or two, and you should see a .exe called, "AtC_BB." Open it, and presto! You've claimed the booty all for yourself. Enjoy your experience!

This game is very good but i got a weird question why is all of daves games rar files?
add vr support Dave it’s such a good game how is this free
I LOVE THIS GAME
ITS THE LITERAL BEST
i definetly didn't watch 600 play-throughs of iti cant play the game for some reason when i try to download it and start the game it just freezes and crashes or if i try to download on gamejolt it wont work can anyone pls tell me how do i play it
i try downloading it's not working
The game is good but can you add it on mobile.
Also I play on windows 11 laptop olny so can you fix a bug that i was playing a game but it freezes and shut downs by itself
YOU CAN ADD IT ON MOBILE??
yep im getting it-
is a good game i watch people play it but i cant download it
INCREDIBLE GAME! But im having issues with crashing and if this game gets a sequel or update im the first to play it!
I've gotten to 2am, and here's what/why I believe the difficulties should be:
Glove World (9pm): Medium (the tunnel of glove is hell)
Squidward's Monument (10pm): Intense (Big Lenny, as far as I know, has no memorizable pattern and is quite frustrating)
SpongeBob's pineapple (10pm): Medium (the only random part is DoodlePatrick)
Patrick's Rock (10pm): Medium (The parkour is janky, but doable)
3421 Anchor Way (10pm): Easy (literally a snooze)
Barg'N-Mart (11pm): Easy (reminds me of pac-man, but maybe make it harder with the hitcount going from 3 to 2)
Tentacle Acres (11pm): Medium (not hard once you learn how to click)
Mrs. Puff's Boating School (12am): Medium (Mrs. Puff is somehow blind to you hiding in a corner when she sweeps or whatever it is.)
Goofy Goober's (1am): Intense (the peanut always shows up RIGHT when I begin pouring and the big green dude is kinda annoying)
Mermalair (2am): No clue, haven't beaten
Sorry for long post, I just like sharing my opinions.
For when you reach 8am (Sandy's Treedome) after 4 suff fr the flamethorower sandy will come out outside. this was kinda random but i figured u need it
Hey! So, I was looking through the files and was confused when I saw the OVRPlugin in there. Is there a reason why, or was that just left over from, like, testing. The main reason I'm curious is because if it is for VR support that would be so cool. (Sorry for re upload I accidentally just typed "C" the first time lol}
That was leftover from way back in it's development but was never used. Never got a chance to truly test VR for it unfortunately. Most of my games actually do have that plugin, but was never truly used. A shame cause I would honestly love to explore the possibility of making VR games or older games be VR compatible. That's something I'll have to explore more in the future!
huh. interesting. thanks!
r you gonna update this game Dave it’s super good and maybe put in a easy mode maybe and a hard
I love this game
Im trying to ace all of the levels, but im Mermalair i have a problem where my game freezes and unfreezes during the Starfishman boss, is there a way to fix this?

I have downloaded and extracted the game, but when i go to press new game, it doesnt work but it lets me press continue but when i do so it takes me to the map but i cant actually do anythin
Somehow your save file must've gotten corrupted. I've seen this happen to a few people who only just fresh installed the game and I've no idea how it happens. But if you go to your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file, next time you boot up the game it should create a fresh save file and solve the issue. If you don't know how to get to your appdata folder, type %appdata% in your search bar and it should pop up.
Hi,
Can you tell me the correct filename for this game? I’m trying to delete it from the command prompt to free up space, as the C drive is now full!
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Matt
The game folder should be called Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom (V1.1.0) (64 Bit) assuming that's the version of the game you have. The game folder should be stored wherever you downloaded and left it in, whether that be your downloads folder or some other folder you had chosen. Hope this helps!
Thank you 🙏
Hi mattstan and twoajmama I think Some One Is Asking For The 2 Of You To Make Horror Games Like This https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxLgLipelAHDaOLy-cgSNvfhtPL5ileoDQ
I've seen a few people run into this. It has to do with newer graphics cards having some sort of issue with games that use older versions of UE4. There is a permanent solution out there, but I forgot what it is. The easiest but temporary solution is to disable your internet on your PC before launching the game, and apparently that fixes the issue. Tho you'll have to do that every time you launch the game. X_X
Hi I Am New There But hello twoajmama Please Make A Colleen Ballinger Horror Game In Unity The Community Post Is Funny https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxLgLipelAHDaOLy-cgSNvfhtPL5ileoDQ
Amazing work dave! I replayed this game after years and even though it is sort of dead, it is just as fun as it was back in 2021! Keep up the great work man!
Hi Dave, is there any way to play this game on Mac I rlly want to play it 🙏
hey Dave, I have a thing with my pc where if it plays 64 bit games, the game will shut down after 1 minute, is there a 32 bit version of this anywhere?
yo Dave where is the appdata folder cuz i got that one bug where new game dosent work cuz my pc shutdown plz help when i go on appdata i dont find the game carpet
The file path should be Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames and you'll find your .sav in there. If you don't know how to get to your appdata, type %appdata% in your search bar.
i know how to get on appdata but when i go i dont see the local atc bb saved saves games folder also i copied the entire folder name and i dont get nothing
You might be in the wrong place? When you open appdata, it'll take you to Appdata/Roaming. You need to backtrack to just the Appdata folder and there you'll find your Local folder.
i just found it thx dave i can finally play atc bb
Hi, just got a new Chromebook for Christmas, and was wondering if it would be possible to create a version for Chrome OS. You don’t have to, it would just help me a lot. Whatever your desicion, I respect it.
In order to Play ATC you just have turn off the internet.
I JUST FOUND IT IF YOUR GAME CRASHES EVERY 20 0R 30 SECS ON ATC USE THIS TO FIX THE GAME
Calm down. Dave's not updating the game anymore so you should do your own research on this crash. It works on Windows 11 for me.
hi dave do u know how to fix around the clock at bikini bottom crashing.
it just freezes then it closes .
also idk if it is my memory that does it becasue the game memory is at 3,000 do u know if i buy memory if it will fix it??? please get back to me quick
One potential fix is disabling the internet and launching the game. Seems to be an issue with certain graphics cards with older UE4 games and apparently doing this fixes it. If that doesn't help, are you using Windows 11? If so, UE4 games don't seem to be 100% compatible with Windows 11 yet so sometimes there can be issues like game crashes and such. Hope this helps!
Hello! Dave I have a problem with the video game I was playing the game calmly when suddenly the game stopped by itself until my computer froze and I had to restart my computer when I tried to enter the game again the game started normally until when I entered At least the game left all my progress at zero and I tried to choose the "new game" option and it doesn't work, I can't enter, I tried to reset everything to zero, graphics, lights, shadows, etc. but that gets worse because then it doesn't let me do anything and the screen menu stays there without being able to do anything and I tried several times and I don't know what to do... can you tell me what's happening or if it's a bug?
Your save file might've gotten corrupted when your PC crashed. Go into your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file. After relaunching the game, it should create a fresh save file and fix the issue. You'll unfortunately lose your game progress, but the game should function normally again.
The game crashes every 10 seconds
fr
All The Time When I Play The game after like 20 seconds of me playing it it just crashes for no reason
This game was amazing, loved it and had a lot of fun with it. You are an awesome game developer and very good at what you!
Does anybody know how to fix the "disk is full" problem? Keeps appearing when i try to open the game.
This is some Triple A quality content right here. I haven’t seen such a good game in awhile.
