Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
Create leans harder on variance: Physics deterministic and predictable
Optimization7 vs 8
The Swapper leans harder on optimization: Clone-placement puzzles have fixed solvable solutions
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
