Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.37 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.28 | |
The game's competitive leaderboard system, while fostering social interaction, could potentially lead to social comparison and a desire to constantly improve scores, which might be a mild compulsion-loop design risk. However, the lack of monetization or stranger interaction keeps other risks very low.
