✅ Turn constraints into natural purchasing moments

2️⃣ Drive ENGAGEMENT WITH CARROTS
✅ Build helpful tools directly into gameplay
✅ Make boosters feel like rewards for good play

3️⃣ Keep Players IN THE FLOW STATE

4️⃣ BLEND MONETIZATION Into Core Gameplay
✅ Weave purchasing decisions into natural gameplay moments

Offering help only through paid solutions
Making losses feel like punishment
Designing win conditions that feel too easy or too hard
