Lower the difficulty after deaths and raise it after wins, without a see-saw

A game that reacts to every loss feels like it is helping, until it flips back the next fight, or until players learn to die on purpose for an easy ride. This entry shows how to build the adjustment with a pause and limits, and how to check it with a run of outcomes.

Why this works

A reaction to every single result swings back and forth, because one fight says little. Looking at a short run of results, waiting after each change and keeping the range narrow lets the help settle instead of flickering.

When not to use it

Skip it when players want a fixed challenge to master, or compete and compare results. Hidden changes feel like cheating there. Offer difficulty choices the player picks, and keep the same fight for everyone.
