The game's competitive nature and score-based system may lead to social comparison and mild competitive toxicity. The presence of microtransactions, potentially for power-ups, introduces a risk of monetization pressure, especially given its 'E' ESRB rating and appeal to children. Variable rewards from collecting objects could also contribute to engagement manipulation.
