I've been monitoring some of the image generation progress for game sprites for a while and was really impressed by Gemini Flash.

api usage: Unfortunately Gemini Flash 2.0 image Gen has really tight API limits that don't scale up for paid tiers -- if anyone on the team sees this and wants to help me out, my email is in my profile or you can reach me at hello@lildigi.me
level stats: For the speedrunners out there, the fastest glitchless times I've seen around 17-18s.
