Chaos on DeponiaSquareCells
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 0
Chaos on Deponia leans harder on execution: Same interface as original; zero reflex component
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
Chaos on Deponia leans harder on variance: Deterministic solutions throughout second chapter
Optimization8 vs 8
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.
