| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI coding tools were used throughout development, including generating SVG code rendered into icons. That means some shipped in-game assets are AI-influenced, but the developer says no AI image models were used and design was human-led. One release in 12 months and 162 reviews indicate a normal solo project, not volume output. Against: AI-assisted coding 'throughout development' could touch more than icons, and the developer's own framing is self-reported; only 1 of 4 games discloses AI. |
