Kaboom!Super Hexagon
Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 10
Super Hexagon leans harder on execution: Sub-second reactions at extreme speed, pure reflex ceiling
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization1 vs 2
Super Hexagon leans harder on optimization: Pattern vocabulary is small, reaction is everything
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
