Denki Blocks!vsKingdom Rush
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Kingdom Rush leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Denki Blocks!
Sliding blocks has no timing or twitch demand
Kingdom Rush
Light micro of hero and rally points
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Denki Blocks!
Solo puzzle with no opponent to predict
Kingdom Rush
Wave compositions are fixed and previewable
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Denki Blocks!
Each puzzle is fixed, nothing random to map
Kingdom Rush
Almost fully deterministic waves
Optimization8 vs 9
Kingdom Rush leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Denki Blocks!
Solving the block-merging sequence is the entire game
Kingdom Rush
Tower placement and upgrade routes are solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
