The downsides of Wetspot involve the sheer blackness of it all. Behind every tiled-up level is a bland black background that doesn't blend with the game's high quality tile-sets. The purpose of this black soon becomes clear during collision detections; whenever players, enemies, or items collide with each other, you can visually see where each sprite ends and begins thanks to a black tile drawn below each sprite. This technique virtually eliminates graphic glitches, but it also removes Wetspot's polished look. After weighing the good and the bad, Wetspot does an average job.

Wetspot is a level-to-level game. To reach the next level, you must crush all the baddies by pushing blocks into them. Occasionally while you're fighting the bad guys, you may find power-ups or point bonuses that are kin to the Bubble Bobble games.

The reason gameplay in Wetspot is so good is because the enemies vary quite a bit. Different enemies seem to have different speeds and levels of AI. A few baddies even teleport or shoot projectiles! This extra touch gives Wetspot the feeling of both a puzzle and an arcade game, since logic and fighting skills apply.

Each of Wetspot's levels, which fit cozily on the screen, aren't really designed to constrict your movements or force you to think a certain way. But at the same time, the levels aren't too open, allowing Wetspot to have some degree of strategy. Hiding behind walls or forming a fortress before time runs out are just two useful strategies that can be utilized while playing Wetspot.

Wetspot, therefore, is significant of Enhanced Creation's Basic programming abilities. There was no DirectQB library to fall on when this first Wetspot game was realized. Yet, Wetspot was able to pull some pretty impressive marks considering that this puzzle/arcade game itself has no sound. Is Wetspot just as much fun as Wetspot 2? Not nearly. But, from such humble beginnings as Wetspot came the nearly invincible Wetspot 2. And with Wetspot 2 receiving the 2nd highest Review score ever from this magazine (29/35), you can be certain that the first Wetspot game was a step in the right direction.
