Hi Timorisu. Here from modreqs and remember seeing this on reddit. Hope this helps.
[General]
Love the combo colors.
The spread is a little high, but I think it's acceptable.
[Easy]
00:04:964 (1,2) – would like to see 1 on the tangent line from 2, how about a pattern like this?

00:10:384 (4) - the break starting after this slider is very unfitting to me. there's nothing in the music that really warrants one, so if i were you, i'd just remove it and map it out.
Agreed, especially since the long slider at 00:15:609 (1) – should act as a small rest.
01:35:350 (7,8,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) – starts to get a little repetitive with the hexagon pattern and copy paste. I know creativity has a cost, but I do think these need a little shake up. My suggestion: Ctrl + J on 01:37:673 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) – and making 01:35:350 (7,8,1,2,3,4,1) – a pentagon like this
[Normal]
00:09:610 (3) – 's end is off the grid, though I don't think this matters
00:10:964 (5) - +1 to y (196, 145) gives a better flow out of 00:10:384 (4) -
00:10:384 (4) - same thing as easy diff with the break
00:15:609 (1) – felt dull since you don't have to move your mouse. Alternatives are doing what you did in easy and make long jagged slider or two reverse sliders like so
00:21:996 (5) – Consider adding hitsound on the end, (maybe a custom whistle that matches the offbeat)?
00:25:093 (5) - ^
00:28:190 (6) - ^
00:31:287 (5) - ^
01:31:480 (1,2,3) – these stacks start to get stale after a while. It might be good for pacing to spread them out after this point with like .5 or .6x dist spacing.
[Hard]
00:21:996 (2,3,4) – kind of a dull stack, though not as big a problem as in insane
00:56:642 (2) – NC? Esp since there's a NC in insane
01:02:835 (3) – ^
01:24:512 (3) - ^
01:30:706 (3) - ^
01:36:899 (3) - ^
01:43:093 (3) - ^
01:39:996 (5,6,1,2) – felt too similar to 01:31:674 (2,3,4,5,6) – consider rotating/editing it to be not so similar or new pattern.
[Insane]
00:06:706 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6) – consider increasing distance spacing (1.1x maybe)? The stacks already slow it down enough.
00:21:996 (2,3,4) – Not a fan of these stacks. They're just not fun to play when I'm expecting more insane patterns. You did a better job in the normal by having 00:21:996 (2) – as a slider, and I think that rhythm and the pattern that would follow it would fit better here. Ditto for the following stacks.
Regardless, I think 00:21:996 (2) – should have a whistle
01:18:319 (5) – the reverse part of the reverse slider is hard to read, try doing Ctrl H and keeping in same spot
01:19:093 (1) – this being stacked was also hard to read, consider moving to 94, 298 or so
01:43:093 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) – consider increasing dist spacing for final stream since energy picks up here?
Very well done mapset. Do talk to Akali about that extra. It seems like this should be ranked near Halloween which gives him plenty of time to work on it, and I know I'd like to see an extra for this map even if it has really highly spaced streams.
Good Luck, and can't wait 'till Halloween!
