Axis by axis

Execution10 vs 10

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance0 vs 2

Super Hexagon leans harder on variance: Pattern order randomized from a known set

Optimization3 vs 2

Geometry Dash leans harder on optimization: Memorizing layouts is required but solved quickly

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