The game's competitive nature, combined with leaderboards and user ratings, can foster social comparison and competitive toxicity. While free to play, the availability of purchasable 'points' and promotional offers could create pressure for in-app spending, potentially leading to a 'pay-to-play more' dynamic. Interaction with strangers in online chat also presents social risks.
