Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 6
Audiosurf leans harder on execution: Lane-switching to the beat tests reaction speed.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 3
Audiosurf leans harder on optimization: Block-matching color strategy learnable per song.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
