Tactical grid combat plus studio management, both solvable with planning.

Optimization · Pure Optimization

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Enemy AI follows predictable rules
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
