This is really strange. As I’ve stated previously in this thread, Clickteam Fusion games are notoriously finicky with antivirus software, but this is really odd. I don’t know how the game could actually be infected, but I’ll see what I can do to resolve this.
No, I didn’t. I figured out the issue was that I built the game as a “packaged” .exe file, meaning every single file for the game is built directly into the executable file, which, for whatever reason, causes antivirus software to go buck wild.
By having it export as an unpackaged file, the game completely passes VirusTotal without issue. However, I currently can’t update the build, as that is locked until the jam’s voting period is over. I sent an email to PossiblyAxolotl, the jam’s host, asking if they are able to do anything about it. I’m currently awaiting a response.
Whether it’s before or after voting ends, I’ll be sure to update the build as soon as I get the chance. I might upload the game over on Game Jolt and add a redirect for it here, but I’m still uncertain, as I don’t know how that might comply with the jam rules.
Games made using Clickteam Fusion are always tricky with antivirus software. You’re just gonna have to take my word that the game is safe, but I understand if you want to air on the side of caution.

I downloaded the game, but my computer doesn't allow me to play it...
EDIT: Checked on VirusTotal: 33 out of the 71 security vendors thought it was a virus.

Sorry for the late response, but did you use any plugins for this game?

Same, the game looks really cool, but I can't download because my computer thinks it's a virus.

Nah, I mean like, I legit told my computer it was safe, but it still wouldn't let me install, I wanna dowload it, I just can't
Strange. Maybe you can try downloading it on another web browser? I’m not sure.
i had that problem, but i tried redownloading it a couple times and it finally let me install it
