Temple RunvsZombie Tsunami
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Temple Run
Execution · Pure Mechanics
The defining mobile endless runner of swiping past cliffs, roots, and flames at increasing speed.
Zombie Tsunami
Execution · Twitch Chaos
One-touch reflex timing against procedurally generated obstacle streams.
Temple Run leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Zombie Tsunami leans Execution (Twitch Chaos).

Swipe reactions at ever-rising speed
Zombie Tsunami
One-touch jump timing for a growing horde is the whole test
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Temple Run
The demon monkeys never adapt
Zombie Tsunami
No opponent - obstacles are procedural
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Zombie Tsunami
Procedural level generation decides what each run offers
Optimization2 vs 3

Powerup upgrades and segment recognition help
Zombie Tsunami
Upgrade spending is a thin meta layer
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.
