Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
While primarily beneficial, the game's fast-paced nature and emphasis on quick reactions, though low in severity, could potentially lead to minor frustration for some players if they struggle with the rapid transitions between microgames. The violence is cartoonish and trivialized, posing minimal risk.
