Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The game's hidden rarity system for fish, combined with the potential for economic setbacks, could introduce mild variable reward loops that encourage extended play. While there are no direct social risks due to the lack of stranger chat, the 'showcase' feature could lead to minor social comparison.

- DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. No dark pattern or child-targeting concerns found.
- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
