Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A classic beat-em-up demanding execution against scripted enemy waves.
Boson X leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Boson X leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Boson X
Split-second jumps in a rotating tunnel are the entire game

beat-em-up timing and enemy juggling
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Boson X
No opponent - just oncoming geometry
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
enemies run simple fixed scripts
Variance2 vs 1
Boson X leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Boson X
Platform sequences are randomized but pattern-bounded
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
minor enemy spawn randomness
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Boson X
Blue-platform risk choices have a thin strategic layer
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
character choice and route memorization
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.
