Lorelei and the Laser Eyes leans Optimization (Pure Optimization). Below: catalogued games with the closest cheat-test profile, and exactly where each one differs.
Matched first against: Puzzle, Adventure, Indie - then ranked by cheat-test profile.
A cross-genre tag below means that pick didn't share a genre - it filled a slot on cheat-test profile alone.

Both lean on execution about the same (1 vs 1). Biggest difference: optimization (10 vs 9) - Sphere Grid routing and break damage limits make the game theoretically solvable
