Nyan Cat: Lost In Space
Precise dodging and platform timing decides survival
Super Mario Maker
Community kaizo levels push platforming precision to extremes
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Nyan Cat: Lost In Space
No opponent to predict; scripted hazards
Super Mario Maker
Levels are static once built; nothing adapts
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Nyan Cat: Lost In Space
Procedural obstacle layouts add some unpredictability
Super Mario Maker
Unknown user levels are hidden information until attempted
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Nyan Cat: Lost In Space
Upgrade choices and route knowledge improve runs
Super Mario Maker
Mastering tool tech and level conventions is learnable
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.
