The game's 'infinite play' loop, variable rewards, and frequent notifications can encourage excessive playtime. The monetization model, particularly currency obfuscation and spending prompts, targets children and can lead to unapproved spending. Social comparison and pressure to keep up with friends' progress might also be a concern.
