King Oddball
A physics puzzle testing release timing and planned ricochet solutions.
the cheat-test profile
The four axes - the argument
Each axis is rated on its own - how far one cheat would trivialize the game here. They don't trade off; low on all four means the game is an experience, not a contest.
Execution
cheat: Aimbot - perfect inputs
5/10Release timing on the swinging tongue is the core input
Reads
cheat: Out-predict an adaptive opponent
0/10Static targets never adapt
Variance
cheat: See what's hidden / map the RNG
1/10Physics ricochets add slight unpredictability
Optimization
cheat: A perfect solver / coach
6/10Each level has discoverable multi-kill boulder solutions
How to read this
Each axis is named by the cheat that would break the game along it. Execution is the hands. Reads is out-thinking an adaptive opponent. Variance is hidden information & RNG. Optimization is the solvable systems layer. A game's region is the top one or two axes.
These four aren't one rating split four ways - they're independent 0-10 questions. A 9 on one axis takes nothing from the others, and a game low on all four isn't missing data: it's telling you there's no skill here to cheat.
The basis is how the majority actually plays this game - not a niche mode or a personal run. For a game with very different modes (a story campaign versus ranked multiplayer), that's the version most people mean.
