A sort of a rogue-like bullet hell in which you are a computer mouse fighting viruses on your computer.
Don't let the virus hit the mouse!
Type the letters to freeze the virus, then click to select it and press "Delete" to kill it!
For more challenge, double-click the trash can!
Update:
- Mac OS X "Delete" key now should work if it wasn't before.
- Fix crash when too many viruses spawned (now limited to the number of letters on the alphabet).

The idea is nice, graphics too, but it needs a better mouse tracking.
The mouse is sluggish. I think it's because unity does something weird with it... or maybe it's how the game is supposed to play. The idea is neat, however, it's missing on fun, and a folder tutorial would be best, with such unusual controls.
The mouse sensitivity is supposed to be a little bit lower, but the movement should be smooth. If the mouse is lagging, maybe there really is a problem in the game...
the lack of 1:1 mouse control really frustrated me, other than that is a really great concept for a game, cartoony music really went well with the graphics! great job!
I like the style a lot, but I don't get what I have to do to actually delete the virus!
I type the letters, click it, and - what now? Can't move it to the trash. If I hit "DEL" on my keyboard I actually get back to the "menu"... more instructions or information about keybindings may be helpful :)
This is probably the best game I've played so far. 5/5 for "Theme". You can't fault that at all. :P at first I thought the sluggish mouse was anoying but once you figure out what the hell your meant to do it all makes sense. Tips for improvement. give the mouse things to collect to improve movement or fight, or drag and select baddies and drop them in the bin or something like that. Good job, great innovation!
Great!! Lost a few times but really enjoyed it. Good sound and the idea. Congratulations
I couldn't quite figure out what the trash can was supposed to do - I doubleclicked it and got swarmed.
@timtipgames To delete the virus, you have to click the virus and hit delete. Have you tried that? It is quite likely to be a bug there hahah sorry!
@Acuity The trash can open an enemy rush. This was supposed to be more clear, but we didn't have time to polish it.
The desktop theme is pretty awesome. Really challenging dexterity trying to move the mouse and type the viruses. Good game!
Funny game, but after some clicks on trash can, game was freezed.
This was really cool! Loved the idea, and the alternative gameplay hooked me in! I'd probably recommend an easier starting pace, while you get the hang of the game though :).
Mouse is way too slow! But otherwise it's a neat idea. I couldn't delete viruses after selecting them (delete key would just bring the level 1 folder back up) and typing the letters would be a bit more intuitive if they were actually words, I think (I'm a hunt-and-peck-er, though, so maybe I'm not the best person to make that claim).
Tested on Mac OS X.
Very fun game ! I love the idea and it's a real challenge. Nice job !
Very cool! I liked the graphics a lot - they reminded me of my old computer without hurting my eyes.
Windows 95 strikes back! The game is rather difficult but It was really fun and well made :)
Reporting that OSX version works but my system was completely overwhelmed by those pesky viruses! :)
Straight forward, simple, and pretty fun! I think it would have been more fun to click and drag the frozen virii into the trash can instead of tapping delete. :)
Really innovative actually! It just needs a bit of polish.
Oh wow i didn't realize how hard it would be to find the keys with only one hand... having to control the mouse and all. Very well done. I like 'shutdown' as the exit. Pretty darn cool :)
Interesting and novel control system. I had to go back to the game description and re-read the controls, so on-screen hints or a tutorial would really help.
For a game with death at every corner, it took quite a while to restart the level (wait for "bluescreen" restart, clicking through all the folders...).
On my machine (Mac OS X) with trackpad, the pointer in the game moved a *lot* slower than the real pointer moves in the rest of the system. I think this might be a Unity thing, ignoring system mouse sensitivity and doing its own.
Great job!
The slow mouse definitely felt a bit odd, but overall I like it. Good job!
Damn, I managed to get to the last level, but seriously... http://i.imgur.com/iPTi6JM.png
I didn't like the slow cursor, but it wasn't much of a problem. The real difficulty comes from typing with a single hand (and the non-dominant one, to boot) while still avoiding a barrage of shots with the cursor.
The concept is fun, it's a good twist on the "learn to type" games. The graphics were fine, but I'm puzzled by why there's high definition icons in a Win 95 desktop. :P Good work!
Had a tone of fun with this game, the mouse was kind of slow tho :3, Good work :D
This game is pure fun! I loved how you have to coordinate between typing and clicking.
By the way, the mouse simply don't work on Linux.
Nice, nice, nice! Managing movement and typing is great. It looks like a great 2 player game where one player is responsible for movement and another for shooti... I mean, typing.
interesting but the mechanics were way to complicated to make it fun - nice job

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Very nice! I love the Win95/98 throwback. Very challenging. A tad unclear on what to truly do. Despite that, quite enjoyable
