Sirus the Virus by eburn184
Sirus the Virus
Your name's Sirus and you're a virus. You prey on unsuspecting humans, jumping, and replicating your way through their body, up to their brain. Once there the human realizes you're no ordinary virus...
Move with left/right arrow keys, or A/D keys.
Jump with Up, X, or W.
Collect the red blood cells to replicate. Clones of yourself can jump in mid-air while spawning!
If you get stuck restart with the R button. There is a small camera bug that I did not have time to fix.
Reach the human's brain to infect him!

Love the virus infecting the cell and using that as a mechanic for getting across passages.
Also spot on having infinite lives: encourages continuous play and stops it getting frustrating (or at least less so!)
great job
But I can't help but notice that the loading screen, menu, white bar effect and parts of the source code bear a striking similarity to my (uncredited) game Give Up Robot 2 ( http://games.adultswim.com/give-up-robot-2-online-game.html ) :S Credit would've been appreciated.
The mechanic is extremely innovative and extremely fun! I also really like how, it's very hard to master, but not frustrating.
I think you did an amazing job with this. Great work!
