Spit Wad Willy

Spit Wad Willy is an indie action-arcade DOS game developed and published by Raoul Said. It was distributed through the shareware model during the early 1990s, becoming a popular fixture on shareware compilation CDs and home PC setups of that era.
The game is an arcade action title heavily inspired by Mitchell Corporation’s classic arcade hit Pang.
Players control Willy, a young boy wearing a backwards cap, who must clear a series of single-screen arenas filled with bouncing, colorful spheres. Willy moves horizontally along the bottom of the screen and shoots spitballs vertically upward using a peashooter/blowpipe.
When a spitball hits a large bouncing sphere, the sphere splits into two medium-sized spheres. Hitting those splits them further into smaller spheres until the smallest ones are destroyed completely upon impact.
The game consists of multiple levels, each introducing different background themes, barrier layouts, and bouncing ball speeds.
To help Willy survive the escalating chaos, destroyed spheres occasionally drop useful power-ups. These include double shots, grappling-hook-style lines that stick to the ceiling, temporary shields, clock pickups that freeze or slow down all bouncing spheres, and speed boosts for Willy himself.
