| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to store art and a few UI/screen assets, with the rest stated as hand-made. The developer has only one game and no rapid-release pattern, so volume signals are absent. Zero reviews long after release is a weak negative signal but not enough for high effort risk. Against: Death and transition screens are in-game content players see, so AI scope is above store-only. No reviews 18 months after release could indicate low engagement. |
