AladdinvsPooyan
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Aladdin
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A classic side-scrolling platformer following Aladdin through Agrabah and beyond.
Pooyan
Pooyan
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Classic arcade aim-and-timing against escalating scripted waves.

AladdinPooyan
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.
Pooyan
Shooting wolves on balloons is pure timing and aim
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.
Pooyan
Wolves follow simple fixed behaviours
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.
Pooyan
Wave spawns vary slightly but are quickly learnt
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.
Pooyan
Scoring patterns and wave order can be memorised
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
