What the developer says
At combo 32, a full synth pad blooms into the void. That peak harmonic layer is generated by Google's Lyria 3 Pro music model, then mastered, EQ'd, and timed by hand to fit each track's BPM and key. The other audio layers — kick, bass, arpeggio — are synthesized live in the Web Audio API. All beat charts, timing windows, and gameplay are hand-designed. No procedural or AI-generated content drives play.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states a single harmonic layer per track comes from an AI music model, while kick, bass, and arpeggio are synthesized live and charts are hand-made. That is a limited, supporting audio element, not a large share of shipped content. Developer has one recent release, so no volume-release pattern. Against: The 'Music-Based Procedural Generation' tag could suggest generated content, but the disclosure says no procedural or AI content drives play. |
