Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game features frequent vehicular violence and destruction, with the explicit goal of 'destroying opponents.' While stylized, the constant combat and explosions could be intense for some players. The lack of social interaction means no opportunities for positive social-emotional development.
