Comix ZoneResogun
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.
Variance1 vs 2
Resogun leans harder on variance: Particle-based destruction and some randomised enemy entry points
Optimization5 vs 6
Resogun leans harder on optimization: Keeper rescue sequencing and phase timing are fully learnable
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
