Round 28: Square Formation

Image

Nominated by Beuchi-chan. These are just a bunch of hitcircles, forming a square shape. They usually have a bit of space between each hitcircle. The square can be angled (diamond) or just upright.

4. Fun to play, but I miss on them a lot.

I write very long mods, because I like to explain why I suggest something. Doesn't mean you have to follow my suggestions, so long as you read it and understand why I suggested it.

Only if they aren't at 90 or 45 degrees. Those two are pretty boring imo.

No idea why, but I often get lost on them.

Protip: Read the approach circles.

That said, I like these, best when rotated to be more of a diamond than a square.

...Though, can you please replace the OP's pic with one that is done correctly? If you look closely, you'll notice that it's not actually a square formation, the last circle is slightly off.

I give it a 5.
I like them when they get larger and larger like in Boundary of Space.

3. Kinda bland and they don't flow quite right.
Gameplay, cosmetic, remark, badly applied mods, ranking guidelines.

I quite like them. I use them quite a lot in my maps, and unless its the kind where the spacing increases as the pattern goes on, theres not much that can go wrong. 5'd

They're... normal, I guess. Not awful but not incredible either.
I don't usually find them confusing (I believe) unless one of the hitcircles is out of the pattern (like a clockwise diamond with 1 - 2 - 4 - 3).

long names!

Failing osu!, one map at a time!

when used right in a map, they can be surprisingly appealing.
