A reflex platformer about timed dodging through deadly obstacle courses.

Execution · Pure Mechanics
A combat metroidvania testing precise platforming execution against fixed enemy patterns.
Exit Path leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Exit Path
Racing opponents don't adapt to your choices
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Exit Path
Hazard layouts are fixed once learned
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
Hand-built world with nothing random
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Exit Path
Memorizing optimal routes shaves race times
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
