Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.23 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risk is the potentially addictive nature of high-score chasing, which can lead to extended play sessions. While there are no monetization or social risks, the endless play loop might make it hard for some players to disengage.
