Aw... I can't download it.
Windows security is flagging this as a severe trojan the instant it's done downloading. Any idea why?

It looks like this is something that happens sometimes with either Godot builds with embedding the project all into the exe (which is how I export mine to keep it tidy), or an issue that sometimes occurs with using 7zip to make zip files (which I also use). I have updated the files to use Windows built-in zip tool and it seems to have cleared the windows defender error.

I also scanned the older copies of the game I used for testing and checked those too. Surprisingly they didn't get flagged, nor did the exes of the versions published to itch once they were unzipped; even though the zips showed as a threat.

It looks like this may just be a false positive from the antivirus, but I don't want to leave that to chance, so I've updated the files so they don't trigger. You should be good now.

It appears windows security still flags the new file as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml for some reason.
It lists the webfile https://itchio-mirror.cb031a832f44726753d6267436f3b414.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/... as an affected item.
If I try allowing it before windows security wipes the file, it gets flagged and removed anyway, but adds the .exe to the list of affected items.

I don't use 7zip so I can't comment on it, I'm unsure if it's the cause. Though I use Winrar over 7zip precisely because of similar weird complications.

That's strange. It looks like it's flagging on my end now as well. I've uploaded just the exe to see if that gets passed somehow, but I'll be digging into this further to see if there is something in Godot I can do during the export process to stop this from happening.
