Building comparison
head to head
Mini MetrovsTriple Town
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Mini Metro
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Minimalist transit puzzle; route topology under spawning pressure.
Triple Town
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A match-three village builder where you merge bushes into trees, houses, and castles on a tiny grid.
Mini Metro leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Triple Town leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Execution2 vs 1
Mini Metro leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Mini Metro
light real-time line-drawing
Triple Town
Placement is unhurried tapping
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Variance5 vs 5
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.
