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.
Variance2 vs 3
Worms Pinball leans harder on variance: Bounce physics inject chaos no plan fully controls
Optimization4 vs 5
Worms Pinball leans harder on optimization: Table rules, mode stacking and shot routing reward study
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
