Rank
There are two separate settings determining the rank in Ibara. Difficulty 1 determines only the starting rank and has no further effect on the gameplay. After the player has started a run, the rank is then gradually increasing determined by difficulty 2, which is the per frame rank increase.
| Difficulty 1 (starting rank) | in dec (hex) |
|---|---|
| Easy | 15,204,352 (E80,000) |
| Normal [default] | 14,680,064 (E00,000) |
| Hard | 14,155,776 (D80,000) |
| Very Hard | 13,631,488 (D00,000) |
| Super Hard | 13,107,200 (C80,000) |
| Unbelievable | 12,582,912 (C00,000) |
| Difficulty 2 (per frame rank) | |
| Slow | 12 (C) |
| Medium [default] | 16 (10) |
| Fast | 20 (14) |
| Very Fast | 24 (18) |
| Maximum Fast | 28 (1C) |
| Unforgettable | 32 (20) |
Notes:
- Rank maxes out at 00,000,000 (000,000 in hex) regardless of the difficulty settings.
- Starting rank for Harder mode is 8,808,032 (866,660 in hex) on default settings.
- Starting rank for Extended mode is the same as on Normal mode on default settings.
Rank is influenced by certain actions of the player, e.g. firing your Shot or picking up an item. All of the actions that have an effect on rank are listed in the tables below. Even though, an increase in difficulty is actually measured by a decreasing rank counter, the numbers below are listed as if the rank counter would count up. This is simply to make things easier to follow.
| Action | Rank increase in dec (hex) |
|---|---|
| Death from 1 lives > 0 lives | -2,097,152 (-200,000) |
| Death from 2 life > 1 lives | -1,048,576 (-100,000) |
| Death from 3 lives > 2 life | -524,288 (-80,000) |
| Death from 4 lives > 3 lives | -262,144 (-40,000) |
| Death from 5 lives > 4 lives | -131,072 (-20,000) |
