Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Dino Stalker leans harder on variance: Spawn timing adds modest unpredictability
Optimization3 vs 4
F-Zero leans harder on optimization: Boost timing and racing lines converge
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
