AladdinBattlezone
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
Precise platforming jumps and sword-timing are demanding.
Battlezone
Tank aim and dodge timing under pressure
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
No adaptive opponent, fixed enemy patterns.
Battlezone
Enemy tanks follow simple fixed routines
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
Some randomness in enemy placement and drops.
Battlezone
Enemy spawn positions vary run to run
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
Level routes are learnable but execution dominates.
