Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alien
Maze dodging under drone pursuit is pure timing
Hatred
Twin-stick aim, cover use, and execution timing
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alien
Drones chase with simple fixed logic, nothing adaptive
Hatred
Police AI is scripted escalation
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alien
Drone movements vary slightly per attempt
Hatred
Destructible chaos and spawn variation
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alien
Optimal egg-clearing routes are quickly mappable, Pac-Man style
Hatred
Health-via-executions loop and objective routing
