What the developer says
This game includes content created with the help of AI during development. Images (34): backgrounds, the logo and in-game objects were created using OpenAI's image generation (gpt-image), then edited by the developer. 34 of the 66 sprites in the shipping build originate this way. UI elements and one texture (13) and sound effects (21): these were designed by AI (Claude) and implemented as the developer's own program code. They are not the output of an image or audio generation model; the shapes and waveforms are produced by deterministic processing. The game does not generate any content with AI at runtime. Music is licensed from a purchased royalty-free library and involves no AI. Stage design is the developer's own work.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningDisclosure states 34 of 66 shipping sprites came from OpenAI image generation, edited by the developer, so some in-game assets are AI-made. UI and sound effects are deterministic code, not generative output, and no runtime AI is used. Developer has no recent release history suggesting volume production. Against: Half the sprites are AI-originated, but the developer edited them and made stage design, music licensing and code themselves, pointing to real effort. |
