1
The game watching you and turning up the heat. Play well, power up, stay alive, and rank rises: more enemies, faster and denser bullets. Some games are basically impossible at max rank, so good players actually manage it, sometimes by not powering up or even dying on purpose to bring it back down.
“Battle Garegga rank is brutal, you have to suicide on purpose just to keep it survivable.”

Rank can be static (climbs steadily, you only slow it) or dynamic (adapts live to your performance). Either way it's the hidden hand making the run harder the better you do.
“Don't grab every power-up or the rank spikes and the last stage walls you.”

Why would a player die on purpose?
In high-rank games, dying can lower the rank and strip excess power-ups, making the rest of the run more survivable. It's a deliberate tactic, not a mistake.
