I am so sorry it took me so long to get to this. XD XD
But anyway, now that I am here, let's get to work. >:3
[Derekku's Lighter]
01:15:905 (1) - The pitch in this part grows higher about 1/2th back, that's actually where I thought the slider would end due to the change of pitch at that point. XD
01:16:814 (2) - Then... you can have this slider to start at 01:16:45 and ending at 01:16:996
01:47:541 (5) - New combo because of the spacing here... to be honest though, I could hardly see that that is a slider. Seems a little too clustery for a supposed normal (because this is in no way easy XD).
I also find the claps in the chorus just a bit disagreeable... but that's just me, hahaha.
[Hard]
01:06:086 (9) - There is something about this slider... I can't figure out what it is, but I think the actual TICKS need to be silent. You'll need custom hitsounds to do this. In addition, the "track" of the slider also needs a lower volume, the whistle is too sharp for that part. The end probably should remain in its original volume though. XD XD
01:11:905 (6) - Weird looking slider... looks... well... weird. Can you make it look better?
01:14:996 (7) - I don't think I agree with the sound of this... the repetitive slider sounded really odd here as there are no loud pitches here. I understand this might be to throw a variation from another long slider... but you should try messing either the volume or try something else. The slider is too loud here. XD
01:26:450 (7) - Weird looking slider again~
01:28:086 (4) - ^
02:02:814 (10) - Huah? I really thought that was like an intestine or something... XD XD
02:11:541 (2) - Ah, you get my point about these sliders... they aren't very pretty looking. This will be the last one I am pointing out, there is more.
I do think there is a whistle overload in this map... but I don't like whistles, so that might just be me.
[Insane]
Insane is the last part of the song? XD XD
00:04:140 (10) - Hmm, the whistle doesn't really seem to fit here...
00:07:413 (8) - Same issue as the one in hard, repeating sliders hardly seemed to suitable here. Too noisy for this section. :<
00:15:777 (5) - Again, whistle hardly seemed suitable. :/
01:12:686 (4) - I could get 01:11:413 (1) having a finish.... but a finish here sounded kinda odd as well, the beat in the red tick was noticeably softer. XD
01:38:322 (3) - Could go without this beat, this is supposed to be the softer part of the song.
01:38:868 (4) - Same with here
01:41:231 (2,3,5) - These sliders would work well if their tracks were a lot more quiet, you might also considering using 0.5x bpm here. XD XD
01:46:504 to 01:59:413 - The hitsounds from here on... are... unfortunately quite awful. I can't feel the music and I can only hear the hitsounds going at this point... I am not even sure if ALL the beats actually flow well with the song. Couldn't tell because of the hitsounds, but it didn't exactly feel right playing it either. :/
02:14:140 (1,2,3,4,1,2) - All the suddenly, I felt like if the map became totally different at that part. XD Just that part though.
02:43:959 (4) - I can't help but to wonder, are those really weird drum beats actually part of the song?! o_o;
02:47:595 (8,9,10,11) - I am not sure if I follow here either...
[Core]
00:25:541 (8) - I almost felt like if there should be a repeat here on that second white tick. Ah, it could be because I was listening to too many repeating sliders previously. XD
00:41:178 (4) - And this one hilariously makes no sense. XD XD
01:18:087 (4,5,6,7,8) - Hmm, a bit bland for a part that I feel should be quite intense...
01:19:905 (10,11,12,13,14,15) - I can hardly see what is going on here. :/
01:46:269 (1) - And again... the repeating parts doesn't hit the beats. D:
02:02:814 (8,9) - This sounds better as a slider extending from where 8 is to 02:03:360
02:31:541 (8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) - Can't really read that either.
03:11:360 (16) - Maybe a new combo here? XD
03:13:541 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Sounds just like a beat... per... well... beat XD
03:17:178 (10) - New combo here perhaps?
03:37:905 (x) - I'd expect a beat here, strangely enough. XD
Hmm... too strange of a map. It is definitely playable... but is it nice? I am sad to say that I think there is still A LOT that could be improved on.
[Meltdown]
01:14:814 (9) - Another weird repeating slider with loud hitsounds. XD XD
01:26:451 (9) - ^
Alright, overall... too many weird sliders, hahaha.
Secondly, if I have to choose my favorite out all these hard maps (not counting Derekku, since that's supposedly the normal), I have to choose Meltdown, it was just the most coherent difficulty out of the other three. The other three was just too messy and I could hardly feel the flow of the music through the map itself. In Meltdown, I could feel that, and in fact, except for a few points I mentioned, I have no problems with Meltdown (oh, and the slider speed doesn't seem to match, but I am assuming that's because it is supposed to be the hardest). I am also not so sure if I like the difficulty range here. One "normalish" map with four other... well... hard to insane maps.
I should also note that these are all just my "suggestions". You are free to deny them if you feel like it, but I have to say that I feel like your maps could definitely have a lot more improvements done. XD
It is also unfortunately for these reasons, I do not feel comfortable in giving you a star. But I do promise I will come back to check onto the map whenever I have time to help it along, if you want it.
I hope the next time I come back, there will be better maps awaiting.
