Alto's OdysseyvsFruit Ninja
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Alto's Odyssey
Execution · Twitch Chaos
The desert-set sequel to Alto's Adventure, adding balloons and wall rides to the endless ride.
Fruit Ninja
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A swipe-em-up arcade game where slicing accuracy against random fruit spawns is the whole skill.
Alto's Odyssey leans Execution (Twitch Chaos); Fruit Ninja leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Fruit Ninja
Combo and crit systems are shallow but real
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.
