Cut the Rope leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Full Throttle leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Cut the RopeFull Throttle
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 3
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 1
Full Throttle leans harder on variance: Minimal randomness; world state is tightly authored
Optimization8 vs 7
Cut the Rope leans harder on optimization: each level is a solvable physics puzzle
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
