Diner Dash lives, thanks to our friend in the pineapple under the sea

![][1]

If you've yet to scream "Spongebob Squarepants" to yourself in a 4-year-old's voice, then there's something wrong with you. It's time for the yellow sponge to use his magical brand powers to inject some life into a fallen star, [Diner Dash][2]. Spongebob Diner Dash Deluxe has arrived, a collaboration between developer [PlayFirst][3] and [Nickelodeon][4], on iPhone and iPad for $1.99.

Since PlayFirst went under [massive restructuring][5] and shuttered the Facebook version of its iconic casual game, the future of the Diner Dash was seemingly uncertain. Now, we know that future is brighter, but sans Flo. Based on the video below, it looks like nothing about the core Diner Dash play hook has changed: serve guests ad infinitum until you drop.

What has changed, however, are the aesthetics. Players control Spongebob as he serves Krabby Patties to popular characters from the cartoon, like Patrick and Sandy, for the miser Mr. Krabs across 50 levels and five unique restaurant settings. Oh, and we're sure Plankton will find his way into the game somehow--the guy's microscopic, you know.
