The primary risks associated with Super Space Pug stem from its competitive leaderboard system, which can foster social comparison and potentially competitive toxicity. While there are no direct social interactions like chat, the emphasis on high scores could lead to feelings of inadequacy or pressure. The continuous nature of the gameplay, typical of arcade shmups, means it lacks natural stopping points, which could encourage extended play sessions.
