It's not unusual for applications like this to get flagged as a "generic" (I.e. "we think it's a...") virus, however, this is because some AV software uses heuristics to determine whether something is a virus or not which is basically reading the instruction order from the program and seeing if it contains any malicious code. However, in "game maker" made games, I suspect that the exe is actually a packed version of the game that extracts itself to the local temp folder and runs from there. This does still keep it technically portable and also contained to one distributable executable. However, heuristic AV will first flag this as suspicious for any executable that doesn't have a recognised compression MIME type, then it will unpack these and check the content code as well. If it finds anything slightly suspicious (such as a networking dll required for multiplayer) it will say you have a generic threat in the executable package and deny access. This for many people is known as a "false positive" detection.

This is quite a ramble, but I hope it explains some things for those who didn't know.
