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 0

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization8 vs 9

Picross 3D leans harder on optimization: Pure logical deduction with a solvable answer

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
