Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.13 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks are related to the inherent ' Skinner box' mechanics of pinball, which can encourage extended play through variable rewards and near misses, potentially leading to excessive screen time for some individuals. However, the game lacks significant monetization pressures or harmful content.
