Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game has very low risks across all categories, with no monetization, social risks, or concerning content. The primary frustration might come from the 'horrible' controls, as described by the developer, which could lead to a negative play experience rather than any inherent risk.
