What the developer says
Gemini was used to create two backgrounds that I later blurred and two non-blurred backgrounds for the game's menus. I'm a one-person developer. That means I do everything; and some of it I'm just bad at. I use AI as a tool to cover the gaps: the tasks I hate, the stuff I'd waste hours on just to replace later. The tools don't make the art. Every idea and decision, everything that made it into this game came from me.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI use to four background/menu images, a small share of a puzzle game's assets. The developer describes hands-on solo development of ideas and decisions. Release cadence is low (2 games in 12 months), so no volume signal. Against: Only 5 of 26 games disclose AI, and this one has 0 reviews a month after release, which limits visibility into the full asset set. |
