Just adding to my original post, this "Survival" could either be a new game mode or a mod for every existing map. The difficulty here lies within how "loopy" a song is. If this were to be a mod for every (new) song, a new Tag can be introduced into the map editor to indicate the Start and End of the "loop," which can be either the main lyrics (eg Caramelldansen) or nearly the entire song itself if the nature of the song allows (eg the Nyan Cat song). Basically anything you can enclose with a D.C. on the music sheet should work (provided that the loop isn't too long in length unless you want a torture map on purpose).
Anyway this will be a "nice to have" rather than necessity so I'll just leave it here to give Peppy some ideas. People of the community please feel free to discuss and comment.
This conversation originally started in the Impossible Mod thread. People were too busy posting "no" and memes in that thread so I got no feedback from the community on whether the above idea will work or not. Now that the said thread is deemed invalid and I was encouraged to start a new thread about this "progressive mod" idea so here it is.bahamut_2000 wrote:

I like the idea of a mode that keeps getting harder as you go on in the map to the point you can't possibly pass. Scoring based on % you progress through the level .
What if you choose a loopable map, such as the Nyan Cat song, and then raise the difficulty at the end of each loop? Is it possible to code it so that the hit circle and AR increases automatically (each loop), also the location of hit circles are "flipped" after each loop (like what HR did)? That should create some dynamics.
The map will eventually become impossible to play, but the idea is to see how far can people go. Can call this mode "Survival"
