What the developer says
AI was used for three things only: the first draft of the character models, the two main-menu music tracks, and the game and studio logos. No AI runs while you play. Everything you actually play was designed, built and balanced by the developer: the growing-tagger rule and the charged slap at the heart of the game; 6 game modes; 12 maps that each play by their own rules — a rolling ship, a flooding water tower, an arena that collapses ring by ring, lava that launches you skyward; 10 characters with 10 distinct powers, tuned one by one; bots with three difficulty levels that make the game fully playable solo; 2–10 player online play; a level and shop progression; match photos, match history and replays; and a 15-language localization. The character models were then hand-edited, rigged, height-matched and animated by the developer. The trailer and all screenshots are real gameplay. Sound effects and fonts come from CC0 / open-licensed sources.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure admits AI in shipped assets players see and hear: character model drafts, menu music and logos. But it describes substantial human work — hand-edited and rigged models, 12 maps, 10 tuned characters, bots, online play and localization. Only two games released, so no volume pattern; zero reviews is too early to judge. Against: Character models were hand-edited, rigged and animated afterward, and all gameplay, maps and modes are described as developer-built; the trailer and screenshots are real gameplay. |
