Doodle GodHer Story
Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 0
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Doodle God
Tapping two elements together is effortless
Her Story
Typing search terms only.

Her Story leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Doodle God
No opponent - just a combination table
Her Story
Subject is recorded, not adaptive.
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Doodle God
Valid recipes are hidden until guessed or brute-forced
Her Story
Hidden clips revealed by guessed keywords.
Optimization5 vs 7

Doodle God
Once the combination tree is known the game is solved
Her Story
Efficient search strategy reconstructs the case.
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.
