It's only been a bit over a month since 1UP first saw SPRay at E3. But Tecmo's upcoming Wii platformer, which sees the player using various liquids to solve puzzles in the environment, has grown quite a bit since then. And by "grow," they mean that this time around, the game had actual monsters to fight and a dungeon to explore!

It's the kind of game that your parents bought you in lieu of Super Mario Galaxy, because it was on sale for $9.99 at Walmart. And hey, they look about the same, right?
SPRay is one of those rare games that defies explanation, and raises questions. Who bought this game? Why was it even made? Did Tecmo REALLY make this?
SPRay is one of those rare games where it's not very good, but could benefit from a sequel. A game with the same mechanics but vastly improved controls, combat, and level design could be really enjoyable. SPRay, while attempting to do this, falls flat on its face in the process.
