Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Lumines leans harder on execution: Placement speed against the timeline sweep
Reads1 vs 0
FlatOut 2 leans harder on reads: No adaptive opposition worth modeling
Variance3 vs 3
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 4
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
