Design risks
| R1 | Dopamine pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game contains mild cartoon violence and some infrequent use of mild language, typical for a 'T' rated game. There are no direct monetization risks, dopamine manipulation mechanics, or social risks due to the single-player nature of the game and lack of microtransactions.
