The game's endless nature and 'addictive' design, as described by the developer, suggest a risk of excessive play. The focus on high scores and simple, repetitive gameplay may also offer limited long-term cognitive or social benefits. There are minor compulsion-loop design elements to keep players hooked, but no monetization or social risks.
