AudiosurfvsTetris Plus
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Audiosurf
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A rhythm racer that turns any music file into a reflex puzzle track.
Tetris Plus
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Tetris with a puzzle mode - still a test of placement speed and stacking craft.
Audiosurf leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Tetris Plus leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Tetris Plus leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Audiosurf
Lane-switching to the beat tests reaction speed.
Tetris Plus
Piece placement speed under pressure decides everything
Reads0 vs 1
Tetris Plus leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Audiosurf
No opponent.
Tetris Plus
Versus mode adds only light opponent awareness
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Audiosurf
Track generated from song, then fixed.
Tetris Plus
Random piece order is bounded and rapidly mappable
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Audiosurf
Block-matching color strategy learnable per song.
Tetris Plus
Puzzle-mode professor routes have known optimal solutions
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.
