In my experience, anti virus detect as a potential threat every executable done in game maker. In the old game maker versions, it detected as a threat even the "Test game" button itself. I believe it does so with any new executable it doesn't find in its online registry, as it detects as threats most games in this jam in this case. I don't know which antivirus you use, but I think going to the antivirus quarantine and flagging an exception would solve it.

Cool, I got it to work. I just have the default Windows Defender and was able to go and turn off the setting stopping me from opening it.
I really like this game. I love that I can tell how much thought went into the puzzle design. I also really like how most the games I've played so far play off of the dice representing randomness but in this game the dice is reliable and predictable. It's a refreshing take from all the other games. The only thing that I would add to this would be a back button, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed (see antivirus complaints) so I'd frequently misclick and then ruin my progress for that level. However, due to the predictability of the die it wasn't too hard to get back to where I was. I really liked the lasers that changed position based on what number you were on, that's a really cool mechanic that forced a little more brain power out of me. Really fun game!
