Quell leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); The Swapper leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
QuellThe Swapper
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
The Swapper leans harder on execution: Light platforming; precision rarely gates progress
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization9 vs 8
Quell leans harder on optimization: Minimum-move sliding solutions are pure logic
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
