We're a bit conflicted about Tecmo's SPRay. On one side, we think that a game built around the concept of using fluids with various useful properties to cover terrain is a unique and fun idea for a platformer. In the above video, a thick coating of a sticky slime allows the player to walk upside down. However, this concept also lends itself to an overreliance on grossout humor, which would be kind of a shame in an inventive adventure game like this one. We hope nothing like that happens in this game.
After the break, a video in which ghost vomit is used to reveal invisible walkways.

But then again, I could that the power won't we enough alone but need to work togheter to help the carachter achieve its goals, so, yeah, it has a lot of concept of mario sunshine (still, not the same goreous graphics tha game had) but still, name one game hat hasn't a base on another game besides mario ones, xDDD

What are you blathering about? This is the polar opposite of Mario Sunshine. Mario's water-gun-backpack was used for flying, flying, flying, killing monsters, and cleaning up hurtful goop. This ghost-vomit is used to expose invisible things, climb walls and ceilings, and turn the ground to ice. Very different.
I'm going to keep an eye on this. It could be good.

@Gnomick
for me, it boils down to simply spraying some random shit in front of you to progress, which would be the easiest way to sum up most levels in sunshine
polar opposites seems like a stretch...

Between this, Mushroom Men, LBP, Wario Land, Mega Man 9 and Banjo, 2008 is looking like the best year since, like, forever ago for us platformer fans!
