not sure if its just me, but i cant download this game without it getting flagged as malware. Both Chrome and windows are flagging it for me, such a pain :C

It's not just you, I had a tester or two who also had this problem. Windows Security doesnt like my game for some reason, so to download it you gotta in Windows Security -> Virus and Threat Protection -> Manage Settings and turn off Real Time Protection. And for whatever reason that stupid setting also says it turns itself back on after a short time automatically

It doesn't usually do this with my Gamemaker games, so if I had to guess, it might be because theres assets with names related to hacking? I honestly couldn't tell you why else there would be a problem with this project specifically and not my other ones

I'd recommend adding an exception (or exclusions) if you can instead. This is a problem that can happen with any game that's not code signed. (Also, if you are rocking Windows Defender/Security, you'll have to allow the threat and possibly redownload the game)

In Windows 10, I solved it by going into Protection History and just telling it to Restore the Zip then I could extract and it worked.
