Editor review
Junction IO Mini is a basic io with cosmetic monetisation and unbalanced gameplay. Functional but problematic.
What works is the basic input.
What does not work is the balance. Larger players are exponentially more powerful; new players have no chance.
Tested over one match from Adelaide before stopping.
Where the game tries hardest is the cosmetic shop.
Where I would push back is the persistent monetisation pressure.
Two-and-a-half stars. Skip.
