Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

Gemini 3.8 Flash
Crimson is carried well down the camera-facing surface, supporting its earlier interaction. The depiction remains highly simplified, with imperfect material rendering. Isolated wall and floor images and a few highlights provide scant reflective evidence; displaced first reflections, missing receding chains and absent nested sphere and emitter imagery leave the room's optical structure largely unsupported.
Inkling-Small
The sphere's apparent floor support, separate dark feature and broad paint ordering justify partial state credit. The major weakness is the largely missing mirror system: isolated side images and faint floor echoes do not establish repeated virtual rooms or curved spherical mapping. Downward framing, the oversized frontal panel, unresolved paint transport and satin surface appearance remain distinct limitations.

Visual construction and creative interpretation.


Gemini 3.8 Flash
The dominant four-point silhouette, luminous color progression, raised brows and enormous grin closely fulfill the brief. Attached, secondary limbs support the exuberant expression. Clean facial drawing and glossy eyes give strong character, while shallow depth, minimally articulated extremities and visible steps in the outer glow limit refinement.
Inkling-Small
The faces and dripping caps communicate a cute mushroom scene, but simple construction and weak spatial relationships limit the result. The defining foot-stamping action is unresolved, the flattering portrait is smaller than its painter, and the requested material contrasts are only partly conveyed.

Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Gemini 3.8 Flash
The dark clothing, overlapping hands and hazy landscape make the Mona Lisa reference recognizable. Replication is limited by the frontal, elongated face, heavy mouth and chin, and poorly resolved hands, wrists and forearm. Soft shading gives some volume, but muddy transitions, blunt landscape shapes and rigid facial modeling weaken the portrait’s expression and painterly character.
Inkling-Small
A recognizable but rudimentary Mona Lisa interpretation. Facial shading and subdued colors provide coherence, while the frontal blocklike torso, unresolved wrists, fingerless hands and shallow landscape substantially limit likeness, construction and finish.

Gemini 3.8 Flash
A vivid purple-and-gold sunset anchors an appealing beach composition with dolphins, birds, a turtle and playful accessories. Palm silhouettes frame the bright reflection effectively. Sparse animal anatomy, wirelike palm foliage, conspicuously regular reflection bands and limited surface texture keep the execution below exceptional.
Inkling-Small
A recognizable sunset beach with a clear focal sun and appealing color transitions. Connected fish silhouettes and layered scenery establish basic coherence. Primitive figures, ambiguous recreation, sparse descriptive detail and weak grounding limit construction and depth. The aligned reflection supplies a useful lighting cue, but shadows and material effects remain underdeveloped.

A plank, computer mouse and blueberry in a steel room test physical stability, spatial relationships, materials and lighting.
Scene composition and interacting subjects.


Gemini 3.8 Flash
Expressive animals, a bold diagonal hull and sweeping spray create an appealing action scene. The raccoon's support on the dog's back is unclear, and the dog lacks a readable paw-to-control grip and connected steering assembly. Clean graphic shapes and lively accessories are stronger than the anatomical construction. Sunset illumination and reflections remain largely decorative.
Inkling-Small
Recognizable animals, readable accessories and an appealing sunset support a coherent basic cartoon. Rounded construction leaves joints, riding support and steering unresolved. Decorative gradients contribute atmosphere, but directional lighting, distinct materials and convincing water displacement are weakly demonstrated.

Gemini 3.8 Flash
The pelican’s enormous bill, lively feathers and orange bicycle create a clear, appealing composition. Basket contents, spokes and facial details reward inspection. Both legs connect to the body, but foot-to-pedal placement and wing-to-handlebar contact are ambiguous. Bicycle mechanics and lighting remain schematic, limiting an otherwise polished illustration.
Inkling-Small
The pelican is immediately recognizable, and its sweeping neck, shaped bill and orderly spokes provide character. Riding remains only partially realized: legs, pedal engagement, steering and seat support cannot be read confidently. Controlled graphic effects add atmosphere, but simplified construction and weak grounding keep the result basic.
