head to head
Mad Dog McCreevsYoku's Island Express
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Yoku's Island Express
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A pinball-platformer hybrid where flippers fling a mail-delivering beetle across an open island.

Yoku's Island Express
Pinball flipper timing drives all traversal
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Yoku's Island Express
Solo, nothing models you
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
