Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Navigating hand-painted levels in rhythm with fixed musical hazard patterns.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A traditional licensed platformer testing jump timing across fixed, memorisable levels.
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Disney's Hercules Action Game leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Disney's Hercules Action Game
Enemies follow simple fixed attack scripts

Levels and rhythms are fully deterministic
Disney's Hercules Action Game
Level layouts are fixed once played
