While not featuring direct monetary risks, the game does utilize some mild dopamine manipulation techniques like variable rewards and near-miss scenarios to encourage continued play. Competitive aspects could lead to some social comparison, and the online leaderboards might foster a drive for identity/self-worth through ranking. The game features online multiplayer, which could expose players to competitive toxicity from strangers, though direct chat is not present.
