Spin Rhythm XDvsVVVVVV
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Spin Rhythm XD
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A PC rhythm game where matching colors on a spinning wheel turns charts into analog choreography.
VVVVVV
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A brutal minimalist platformer where flipping gravity replaces jumping.
Spin Rhythm XD leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); VVVVVV leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 9
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Pixel-perfect gravity flips through spike gauntlets
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Routes are short and obvious; execution is everything
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.
