I will put it back then, soon :)

If someone has the same problem (Python game flagged as virus), try this (upload the EXE only, not the .zip):

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission


https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/submission-guide

I am dead tired, made the game browser-based in the end, because Microsoft did not really deal with my problem in time (I wrote about this to user hechelion above)

So here is the result:

Thanks! :) I actually submitted the EXE to Microsoft as a false positive, 22 days ago just like you recommended and then I waited. Unfortunately, they replied that they consider it malware and will keep the detection, without really explaining anything. I waited enough for them and made the game browser-based instead XD at least users can play it now, but I would have been more happy if Microsoft "unflags" my game EXE

Awww, thank you :)

Exactly, and actually I am grateful that you people here noticed this problem with my game! :) I would not even know about it, like when I tested it months ago the last time, it was fine. My only annoyment is Windows here, maybe there was a Windows update that generated false positive warning lately?

Yeah, it is my game, and it was never flagged as a virus before, only now, it is so annoying, I definitely did not write a virus. I actually made it with Python/PyGame, I even published the source code on GitHub:

I don't even have the time lately to fix this, but I will do it sometime. Maybe I will make it rather a browser based game so no one has to download anything.

Thanks lovely :) I wish my game was indexed though :( I published it 1 month ago, and still no one can find it through the search bar etc., so annoying
