Editor review
Junction Arena is a sprint-running arcade with tap-rhythm pace input. Twenty events across four meets.
What works is the rhythm-input. Alternating taps at correct cadence builds pace.
Twenty events with progressive distances and difficulties.
Tested over two Adelaide tram commute rides from Adelaide.
Where the design tries hardest is the meet-progression. Four meets give the campaign rhythm.
Where I would push back is the absence of competitor variety. AI rivals are flat.
Three stars. Functional sprint arcade.
