Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Clustertruck leans harder on variance: Physics chaos makes truck piles unpredictable
Optimization5 vs 6
Mega Man 2 leans harder on optimization: weapon-weakness ordering is the classic solve
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
