BlockoutvsMy Friend Pedro
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Blockout
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Tetris extended into 3D - spatial packing optimization executed under accelerating pressure.
My Friend Pedro
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Balletic side-scrolling shooter about chaining stylish slow-motion gun acrobatics.
Blockout leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); My Friend Pedro leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
BlockoutMy Friend Pedro
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Blockout leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Blockout
Rotating polycubes on three axes under time pressure strains hands
My Friend Pedro
Slow-motion acrobatic gunplay rewards precise control
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Blockout
Solo pit - nothing to predict
My Friend Pedro
Enemies are static placements
Variance2 vs 1
Blockout leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Blockout
Piece sequence is random but quickly bounded
My Friend Pedro
Deterministic levels
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Blockout
3D packing has optimal layer-clearing patterns to internalise
My Friend Pedro
Score-chasing optimal routes and trick chains
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.
