Anticipating threats and planning ahead. Collect coins while avoiding ghosts. Ghosts move before the player each turn, and collisions cost a life. 3 levels in sequence, up to 66 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.


Cooperative planning and learning from experience. Coordinate two robots to push numbered cores onto matching sockets. Pressure plates hold doors open; moving either robot uses one turn. 5 levels in sequence, up to 152 turns in total. Earlier moves and outcomes carry forward, testing learning across levels.

Crouton Alpha
The artwork establishes approximate central placement, a separate airborne black blob, and basic wall and floor sphere images. Its defining weaknesses are the largely absent recursive reflection system, missing emitter mappings, satin steel appearance and unresolved paint interaction. The black lateral wedges do not establish a separate viewport, and the hidden floor contact does not establish a gap. The category values remain unchanged.
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
The main framing and visible paint-contact story are well supported. Major optical omissions dominate the result: sparse repetitions, undersized first images, missing outer chains and absent curved nested imagery prevent a coherent mirror-room system. The metallic forms remain convincing in volume but have a soft illustrative finish.

Crouton Alpha
A cheerful, readable cartoon captures the crouton's signature expression and many specific accessories. Coherent cube geometry and foreground foreshortening support the selfie. Simple construction and flat material treatment limit its sophistication, while the tipping raft, advancing soup and unnoticed soaking remain insufficiently clear.
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
An appealing rabbit with balanced framing, expressive eyes and purposeful costume accents. Simple frontal construction limits anatomical and spatial accomplishment. The orange orb provides an effective luminous focal point, but unreadable wrist connections weaken the requested gestures and prevent stronger integrity credit.

A small rabbit in an explorer outfit floats with a luminous orb. The scene tests character anatomy, pose and the placement of geometric forms around it.
Precise visual recall and portrait reconstruction.


Crouton Alpha
A recognizable, coherent simplification with readable eyes, a restrained smile and modest facial volume. Frontal symmetry, an oversized head, capsule-like hands and geometric scenery substantially limit likeness, anatomy and depth. Clean contours preserve basic integrity but do not establish sophisticated construction or finish.
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
The portrait is recognizable through its dark silhouette, slight smile and muted landscape, but replication is weak. A frontal, oversized head and symmetric torso replace the reference's turned seated pose; angular, separated hands omit its central gesture. Smooth shading maintains coherence while anatomical detail, depth and material rendering remain basic.

Creativity, perspective and visual beauty.


Crouton Alpha
A colorful, readable sunset beach scene with playful subjects and a clear central reflection. Purposeful equipment and animal details reward inspection, and the principal attachments remain intact. Basic geometric anatomy, mixed viewpoints and sparse directional shadows limit its construction and depth; smooth gradients provide atmosphere with little material differentiation.
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
A readable sunset beach with clear requested subjects, appealing framing and purposeful accessories. Schematic anatomy, flattened foreground objects, repetitive water highlights and sparse directional shadows limit construction and physical depth. The kite's unresolved anchor also constrains integrity.

Scene composition and interacting subjects.


Crouton Alpha
A readable cartoon with expressive faces, purposeful markings and clear water motion. Hull shading and an underside shadow establish modest depth. The dog contacts the controls, but the raccoon's frontal pose leaves its seated weight unresolved. Simple anatomy and limited shared perspective constrain the drawing.
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
A coherent, cheerful cartoon with recognizable animals, readable steering contact and useful small details. The dog's orientation follows the craft more successfully than a wholly frontal pose would. Simple anatomy, weak raccoon grip and compressed seating contacts still limit physical credibility. Gradients and spray provide polish without resolving complex construction.

A jet-ski scene pairs a canine driver with a raccoon passenger. It tests the placement and contact of interacting subjects, along with vehicle construction.
Subject construction and spatial relationships.


Crouton Alpha
A recognizable, expressive pelican cyclist with purposeful feather and bicycle detail. Readable steering reach, connected machinery and modest body shading earn additional credit. Jointless legs, uncertain pedal engagement and unclear seated support keep the central action only partially resolved; shallow space and simple materials further limit the illustration.
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
The distinctive bill, continuous silhouette and detailed wheels establish a readable pelican cyclist. Shaped feathers and soft shading add character, but jointless legs, crowded pedal contacts, absent steering contact and loosely directional lighting limit the construction. The comparisons support retaining the baseline category scores.
