Graveyard KeeperPoly Bridge 2
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Graveyard Keeper leans harder on variance: Minor drop randomness
Optimization8 vs 9
Poly Bridge 2 leans harder on optimization: Budget-constrained engineering is a pure optimization problem
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
