Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 8

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 2

Resogun leans harder on variance: Particle-based destruction and some randomised enemy entry points

Optimization8 vs 6

R-Type leans harder on optimization: Force pod placement and route memorization are half the game

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
