Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Fruit Ninja
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A swipe-em-up arcade game where slicing accuracy against random fruit spawns is the whole skill.
Steppy Pants
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A minimalist endless runner testing precise tap timing.

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Swipe accuracy and combo timing
Steppy Pants
precise tap timing for stepping rhythm

Variance3 vs 2
Fruit Ninja leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.

Random fruit and bomb spawns
Steppy Pants
randomized obstacle/terrain generation
Optimization2 vs 2
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fruit Ninja
Combo and crit systems are shallow but real
Steppy Pants
minor route/timing pattern learning
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.
