The game presents very low risks. With no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions, there are no financial pressures. The lack of social features and chat eliminates social risks like competitive toxicity or stranger interaction. Mild dopamine manipulation exists through the unlocking of new ninjas, encouraging continued play, but without aggressive retention mechanics.
