Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 9

VVVVVV leans harder on execution: Pixel-perfect gravity flips through spike gauntlets

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 0

B.C.'s Quest for Tires leans harder on variance: Fixed obstacle sequences, almost no randomness

Optimization3 vs 3

Even - both lean on optimization about the same.

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
