ShellShock Live is a strategic online multiplayer artillery game that fosters cognitive skills like problem-solving, spatial awareness, and strategic thinking through its destructible terrain and diverse weapon set. Its team-based gameplay promotes teamwork and communication, while the progression system offers a sense of achievement.
Design risks
| R1 | Dopamine pressure | 0.27 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.61 | |
While the developers explicitly state a commitment to ethical design with no monetization pressure, the competitive nature of the game, global leaderboards, and progression system could lead to social comparison and competitive toxicity. The unlock and upgrade mechanics, while earned through play, may still encourage extended play sessions.
