Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.03 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
Hexodius presents minimal social or emotional risks. While competitive leaderboards could induce some toxicity or social comparison, these are not central to the game's design. The violence is abstract and non-graphic.
