The work argues that existing VLM evaluations rely mainly on real-world data, which preserves natural complexity, or on procedurally generated tasks, and it frames toy games as a testbed for visual evidence, spatial structure, constraints and state changes. The benchmark's central question is whether toy-game performance reveals and transfers to real-world visual reasoning.", "body_md": "Visual reasoning is an important capability for vision-language models (VLMs) to understand visual evidence, spatial structure, constraints, and state changes.
