Rumor: Factor 5 Wii Prototype Engine
When Factor 5 originally revealed plans to create games for Wii, they revealed that they had been using a modified version of the Lair engine. Lair may not have been that great gameplay wise, but it certainly was a graphical marvel. Well, apparently, a video has leaked of the Wii tech engine, showcasing mountainous terrain.

What The Game’s About
When an evil queen invades the land and smashes the sunshine away, it’s up to Spirited Prince Ray (”SPRay” for all of the acronym lovers out there) to don the magic crown that summons little spirits that spit and spray various fluids such as water and vomit in order to recover the crystals that make up the sun and defeat the queen. Players guide Ray and his spewing companions across several worlds within the kingdom to solve puzzles, rescue citizens, gather new abilities, and collect items.
Ray’s companions begin the game with the ability to spray water and vomit. Water washes away enemy goo and nourishes flowers that are planted almost everywhere (make a flower bloom and it’ll erupt with what appears to be snot for some reason), while vomit sticks to floors and makes things such as invisible bridges visible when fully coated. Fluids are also used to trigger switches, bathe enemies, and draw symbols with the Wii remote among other things. Swing the Wii remote to whack nearby objects and enemies with Ray’s staff. New tricks are added to Ray’s arsenal as the game progresses.
