Crash Bandicoot
Tight jumps on narrow paths punish slop
Gunstar Super Heroes
Dense run-and-gun action demands precise dodging and weapon control
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Crash Bandicoot
Hazards are fixed patterns
Gunstar Super Heroes
Boss patterns are elaborate but completely scripted

Gunstar Super Heroes
Stages play out identically each run

Crash Bandicoot
Box routes and gem requirements are learnable
Gunstar Super Heroes
Learning screen-filling boss movesets is the core progression
