Even the game's logo on Itchio and every bit of text on game's page is AI. I'm not going to get into the quagmire that is complaining about AI art, but at some point it stops being "I couldn't have made this passion project without the help of AI" to just kind of looking like a cash grab with the bare minimum effort.

Only if they aren't the creator of this travesty... Sorry Lerd0 love ya dawg. But I try not to promote AI generated images even if I have one or two amongst my dev friendos in the Mooniverse... which in the beginning, I had hoped I could convince them to drop AI and do their own stuff...
You already gave them good ideas. A tiny amount of effort from them could show they are serious...
If they are a dev, they should get the dev tag and ask the dev forum... There are plenty of dev help threads in there already...

Yes, it was the same with Unity Asset Store and other such things.
It used to take a lot of effort to make even a shit game, even back in the Flash days. It used to be that it was incredibly difficult for a solo indie dev to make the game they dream of, and not as difficult but still too difficult to be worth it to make shovelware on purpose.
But nowadays with tools and services like that, it's more achievable for honest devs to realise their dreams, or at least to get started and maybe gain an audience, but it's also far more achievable for scammers who want to make shovelware to just shit out zero effort garbage in the hopes someone will pay for it, and of course network for fake reviews on steam and things like that while they're at it.
