What the developer says
This game uses generative AI to assist with the creation of pixel art assets (character sprites, projectiles, icons, capsule art) and to support code development. All generated content was reviewed, integrated, and finalized by the developer. No AI is used at runtime — every asset is pre-generated and baked into the build. No player data is sent to AI services during gameplay.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with in-game pixel art assets and code, so some shipped content is AI-generated. Assets were reviewed and finalized by the developer, and no runtime AI is used. Only one release in 12 months, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Zero reviews three months after release, but the developer has only one game, so this doesn't indicate mass production. |
