Play Cool Spot (beta) Online

Cool Spot was a Sega Genesis game developed by Virgin Games. It was part of that era where a lot of platformers were trying to stand out, and this one was based on the 7 Up mascot. The game never had a wide commercial release in its beta form, so most people know the final version.

You control Spot, a red dot with sunglasses, running and jumping through colorful, themed levels. Your main goal is to rescue your fellow Spots, who are trapped in glass bottles. The gameplay involves navigating screen by screen, bouncing on soda bubbles to reach higher platforms, and using your fizz as a projectile to pop enemies and obstacles. The levels are filled with collectibles, mainly the 7 Up logo, which you need to gather to earn extra lives. The pacing is quick, and some sections require precise timing to avoid hazards like spikes and enemies. It feels like a straightforward but sometimes tricky platformer where you are constantly on the move.
