Conduit
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Conduit is a falling-block style puzzle game inspired by games like Panel de Pon and Meteos. Match 3 or more blocks of the same color in a row to clear them after a short delay; making more matches before the delay ends will give you more points! Gameplay is fast and tense, rewarding quick thinking and strategy.
This game is currently in development, being made using Godot 4. The final version of the game is tentatively priced at $8 USD.

Wow, neat game! The music is great! Feels polished.
I'm sure it's a false positive, but Windows Defender seemed to detect "PUAAdvertising:Win32/Conduit" in the Conduit.dll and GodotSharp.dll files on my end. :o I imagine everything's fine?
Hm, that is odd. I did a quick web search and it looks like there's malware that sometimes goes by the name "Conduit". Microsoft's website has a webpage about it (Link). My best guess is that Defender saw the DLL file named Conduit and flagged it, thinking it was that malware...
This is the first time I've ever heard anything about this. As far as I know, everyone else who has installed the game hasn't had their antivirus warn them. I'm not sure why it was your installation in particular that gave a false positive. I'm gonna do a bit more research to see if there's a way I can prevent more false positives from occurring in future installs!
Oh wow, unfortunate coincidence there.. Thank you for the response!
I submitted the two DLL files to Microsoft so that they can scan and verify them!
