Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.10 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
While promoting positive social interaction, the competitive nature and leaderboards in Jackaroo may lead to social comparison and potential competitive toxicity. The game's 'addictive' social design, though not driven by manipulative monetization, could encourage extended play sessions.
