Browser Game Pick: Meat Boy (Edmund McMillen)
Note: Contains nudity, strong language and graphic scenes.
Meat Boy is a challenging platformer created by the developer of Gish, Aether and Coil, where players assume control of a nimble protagonist who must scale the walls of each area and reach Bandaid Girl to complete a level. Use the cursor keys to move, and press the space key to jump. Wall jumps can also be executed by tapping the same key when hugging a wall.
Levels are grouped in sets of five, and players would only need to beat three areas out of every set to unlock the next five stages in the list.
Name: Meat Boy
Developers: Edmund McMillen, Jonathan McEntee, Danny Baranowsky

Comments
I'm sick of every generic-gameplay'd piece of crap created by Edmund McMillen being over-glorified because he makes them controversially disgusting.

It's Jumper with scrolling. :D More similar to Jumper three.
Blood on the walls it's a bit foul.
Anyway a good game. :)

It felt more like a simple version of N than anything else. It even had the annoying homing missiles.

That's remixed music from Sonic 2, if I'm not mistaken.

I liked the game, personally. Haven't beaten it yet, but that end of the video: hot!
I guess I should play Jumper, now...
