Cut the RopeLoom
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 2
Cut the Rope leans harder on execution: timing cuts as physics swing
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 1
Loom leans harder on variance: Deterministic world with no randomised elements
Optimization8 vs 8
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
