## Risk Assessment
|
|
|
|
### Technical Risks
|
|

|
|
- **Mobile Performance**: Older devices may struggle with particle effects
|
|
|
|
### Mitigation Strategies
|
|
- Audio: Implement user-initiated audio with fallback to silent mode
|
|
- Save: Implement data compression and cleanup routines
|
|
- Performance: Add quality settings for older devices
|
|
|
|
