| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to a small number of icons and minor assets used as temporary placeholders. The game has 62 reviews at 95% positive, and the studio released only 2 games in the past year, showing no volume-release pattern. Most of the game appears human-made. Against: Placeholder AI assets still ship to players, so AI content is present in the current build; the developer's stated intent to replace them is not yet confirmed. |
