Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 10
Geometry Dash leans harder on execution: Frame-perfect one-button timing over relentless sequences
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization2 vs 3
Geometry Dash leans harder on optimization: Memorizing layouts is required but solved quickly
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
