Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Knightmare Tower
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Chaining mid-air kills to climb while an upgrade economy does half the lifting.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The infamous, glitch-ridden 2006 Sonic reboot where the physics are the real boss.
Knightmare Tower leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Learning which routes the jank permits
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.
