virOS by Antworks Studio
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).

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 :)
Tested on Mac OS X.
Reporting that OSX version works but my system was completely overwhelmed by those pesky viruses! :)
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!
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!
By the way, the mouse simply don't work on Linux.
