Building comparison
head to head
LEGO Rock BandvsVVVVVV
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
LEGO Rock Band
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Family-friendly rhythm charts where hitting scrolling notes on time is everything.
VVVVVV
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A brutal minimalist platformer where flipping gravity replaces jumping.
LEGO Rock Band leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); VVVVVV leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

VVVVVV
Pixel-perfect gravity flips through spike gauntlets
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Variance0 vs 0
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Routes are short and obvious; execution is everything
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.
