What the developer says
All of the game's audio, the music and every sound effect, was generated with ElevenLabs and is AI-generated. All art is drawn by the game's own code at runtime and was not generated by an image model, except two licensed third-party icon sets that are not code-drawn and not AI-generated: the menu's 13 icons, which are Tabler Icons (tabler.io, MIT licence, recoloured), and the key and button prompt icons, which are Kenney's Input Prompts (kenney.nl, CC0). The five course backdrops and the game's icon are an exception too: they are vector art that an AI coding assistant wrote as SVG code, not images generated by an image model. Store capsules and screenshots are captures of the game. The trailer's music was also generated with ElevenLabs. The code and design were built by the developer working with AI coding assistants, with the game's feel judged by human playtest.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningDisclosure states all audio is AI-generated, a major asset type, but visuals are largely code-drawn with only backdrops and icon written as SVG by an AI assistant. Code and design involved human playtesting, and the studio has no volume-release pattern. Against: Most art is generated by the game's own code rather than image models, and licensed icon sets are not AI-generated, limiting AI's share of shipped assets. |
