Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.39 | |
The game's design incorporates several compulsion-loop design techniques, such as variable rewards, frequent small wins, and an infinite play loop, which can encourage prolonged engagement. The competitive nature of the game and the potential for social comparison in an online setting may also pose risks for some players. The violence, though cartoonish, is a core element of the gameplay.

- 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.
- 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.
These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.
