Mini Review: Cool Spot
Ah yes the 90's when someone thought putting shades on a 7up logo made it look cool. That might not hold up but the game itself is a serviceable platformer. The plot of this game is simple you are the Cool Spot and must rescue his radical friends. (AKA more Cool Spots.) To do this you will need to shoot soda like a projectile and platform your way through each level collecting 7up logos to unlock the cage at the end of each level. For the most part the gameplay feels good with the platforming being spot on. If you miss a jump it's your fault and not the game most of the time.
But for about 20% of the game you'll run into blind jumps that might lead to you losing lives thanks to not being able to see where you need to land. This is highlighted the most during the train level where if you drop off you have to play through the entire level again. Also Cool Spot takes forever to speed up to running speed so you'll most likely jump everywhere instead of using his slow walk. Overall for a game licensed out to sell a soda it managed to make a okay game. This game is worth checking out if your curious to see how they turned a 7up logo into a game just don't expect it to blow your mind.
