| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe store disclosure states AI was used for some textures, which players see, so scope is parts rather than none. The developer has one release, 15 reviews at 86% positive, and no sign of volume output. The curator note adds nothing beyond the disclosure. Against: Only textures are disclosed as AI, and the game has a modest but positive review base, suggesting real development effort. |
