Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance4 vs 3
Bad Rats leans harder on variance: Notoriously janky physics makes identical setups behave differently
Optimization6 vs 5
Bad Rats leans harder on optimization: Each contraption puzzle has intended solvable solutions
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
