The MessengerTwinBee
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
TwinBee leans harder on execution: Dodging bullet patterns while juggling bells demands constant precision
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
TwinBee leans harder on variance: Bell power-up juggling adds small randomness, quickly mapped
Optimization5 vs 5
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
