Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 8

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance3 vs 2

DX-Ball 2 leans harder on variance: Ball angles and power-up drops add unpredictability

Optimization5 vs 6

Resogun leans harder on optimization: Keeper rescue sequencing and phase timing are fully learnable

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