| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses AI use for the main menu image and some textures, so AI-generated assets do ship to players. That is a limited share of a 2D platformer's assets, and the game has 10 positive reviews, suggesting real development effort. The studio has released only one game, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: The disclosure is narrow and the game has a 100% positive review record, which points to a small, hand-built project rather than mass production. |
