For me, Windows recognized the file as a virus, this seems to be an unfortunate bug :/
The game itself is visually stunning, it feels pretty polished, and the use of glyphs instead of text works well.
The pace of the game is good, since you can always stop at a platform with power-ups and look around. Sometimes it felt a bit annoying to redo the whole level after you missed a jump, but the level sizes were small enough so it was not a big issue. Finally, I also really liked the music here :)

Thanks for playing our game and thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked it and the game turned out good.
The Windows Virus/Trojan Message also received another person. I really would like to know what happened here. Maybe it was because of Godot 4.1.beta1 and the build/export is not stable or the embed PCK or what ever. Sometimes it is pretty weird. Thanks for still playing our game beside this inconveniences.
Could it be the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen feature? I stumbled upon it too... It happens because an app is not code-signed and/or it doesn't have enough reputation for SmartScreen.
Downloading and playing it through the itch app effectively bypasses the warning and should protect you more—provided you have the sandbox feature enabled.
Yes, in my case it was a defender issue. Similar to this one. Although this also already seems to happen when trying to download the game in the first place (I had to switch browsers to download it). I usually don't have this issue with godot games, only noticed it with one other game this jam.
