The primary risks are related to social interaction in competitive multiplayer, which can lead to moderate social obligation, competitive toxicity, and social comparison within clans and leaderboards. Content risks are minimal, limited to cartoon violence. There are very low risks associated with compulsion-loop design or monetization due to the game's design without microtransactions or manipulative engagement mechanics.
