Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 1
Armadillo Run leans harder on execution: Building structures has no twitch requirement
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization9 vs 8
Armadillo Run leans harder on optimization: Designing efficient physics structures within budget is the whole game
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
