how do you know that there is a virus? What does it say?

BGT games get flagged like that all the time, stop rabble rousing.

If you wish to keep Windows Defender around, add the folder as an exception manually before you run the game.
Alternatively, if you're feeling brave and know you're careful what you download and have your browser fairly locked down, feel free to fully disable Windows Defender. Winaero Tweaker is an enhanced settings panel that allows for this among other things.

Why do people bother mentioning that games are a virus? This is old news. Antivirus software flags most if not all BGT games that are a zip archive. The only installer I've seen it flag is Constant Battle. For me, most installers work

You sure it's not in the zip file? If not, redownload it.

Hi the game works fine for me and the readme is in the zip folder.

I would most certainly hope so...

Hi windows defender just detected it as a threat so I went in and allowed it.  So now their is an update available and its not finding the version yet maybe it is still uploading?  I'm going to give it a bit.

Tomb Hunter
By Masonasons and NS studios.

* about

Toom hunter (th) is an adventure/action/horror platforming side scroller with some 2d features made by Mason Armstrong (Masonasons) and Nikola Stojsic (NS studios).
You play as a teenager by the name of Fredrick, who has encountered a misterious force pulling him toward and inside of a tomb.
Your objective is to collect scrolls, gold, gems, solve puzzles, as well as anything else that you come across on your journey.
This will not be easy, though. You will have to go through 30 levels, spread out in ten tombs, each featuring their own set of challenges, enemies, objects, puzzles, and quests.

* keys

general menu keys:
• Up/Down arrow, move to the previous/next menu item
• Home/End, move to the first/last menu item
• Escape, exit the menu
• Enter, open the currently focused item
• Page up/down, increase/decrease the music volume
• Tab, show/hide all items in the shop
Note: The menues in this game support the first letter navigation, which means that instead of using arrows and pressing enter on an item to select it, you may also press the letter that you will be told when passing through items (e.g., play game. p.), and the item will be automatically activated.

speech output menu keys:
• Tab, cycle between the output methods (SAPI and screen reader)
• Up/Down arrow, switch to the previous/next SAPI voice
• P/Shift+P/Ctrl+P, increase/decrease/reset the pitch of the SAPI voice
• V/Shift+V/Ctrl+V, increase/decrease/reset the volume of the SAPI voice
• R/Shift+R/Ctrl+R, increase/decrease/reset the volume of the SAPI voice
• Enter, save the changes and exit the menu
• Escape, exit the menu without saving the changes

puzzle board keys:
• Up/Down arrow, cycle through the pieces
• Home/End, jump to the first/last piece
• Left/Right arrow, hear the currently focused piece spoken phonetically
• Tab, read the puzzle in its entirety (as a word)
• Space, pick up/put down a piece and swap

• Escape, exit the menu
• Enter, exit the menu and put focus on the selected inventory item (inside the tab list)

Note: this menu supports the non-automaticly-activating first letter navigation, which means that you may press a letter to quickly jump to an item, but instead of automatically activating it, it will just set focus to it, and then you may use either enter or shift+enter to exit the menu and put the inventory focus on the selected item, or to exit the menu, put focus on the item, and use it respectively.

• R, check the robot helper's position (if spawned)
• D, unlock a door/trap
• Escape, exit the game and return to the main menu, or dismiss all message pop-ups (sometimes, a message comes in parts that appear as their own pop-ups, and while enter dismisses only one part, escape dismisses all of them)

Note: Escape and F3 keys need to be held rather than just pressed. This is a safety measure of sorts, because it prevents you from pressing those keys by accident.

* registration and limitations

Tomb Hunter is available as freemium software.
This means that the feature-limited version of the game may be downloaded for free, and you will need to purchase a license if you wish to experience the full version.
The feature-limited version lets you play first ten levels, and has certain features locked such as the shop.
You may purchase your lifetime-long license at: www.masonasons.me/pages/th.php
if you are running the feature-limited version, the main menu will contain the “register” option. Likewise, when you are registered, the main menu will contain the “unregister” option.
Once you purchase your license, your payment will be manually processed, and you will receive your registration details within 48 hours either from [email protected] or [email protected]; please whitelist those e-mail addresses if possible to prevent the message from getting flagged as spam.
You may register as many as five devices with the same license, but they have to be the devices you own and/or use personally.
Sharing your license with others and registering devices you don't own and/or use with your license will result in a perminant ban!
If you wish to free one of the registration slots, just unregister one of the currently registered devices, and you will have a free slot again. This way you always have five slots to use on any device.
Warning: unregistering should always be done using the “unregister” menu option, because doing it any other way will not free up the registration slot!
The registration system is online-bassed and thus requires an internet connection. If you do not have access to the internet, you will not be able to get verified and will continue in the limited mode.
A word of advice: because of the nature of the registration system, we strongly advise you to unregister a device that is about to undergo a serious maintenance such as Windows reinstalation (not update, though), hardware changes/upgrades, etc.

The game may be downloaded and purchased from www.masonasons.me/pages/th.php
