Summary

Unity is noticeably more polished than Game Editor or Novashell across API, documentation, engine, and editor. It is also one of the more popular tools at the moment, and that is definitely an advantage. On the other hand, it has many more features than needed for this minigame, it's closed source, and it has a comparatively huge install size. Additionally, setting up a 2D game in 3D space took a little extra work, but that's pretty much just a one-time cost.
