Normal:

First things first, the hitsound volume is 100% throughout the entire map. With how calm the song is the hitsound volume is way to loud. This is a must fix. fixed
00:01:210 (3) - maybe hold this slider until the sound ends? sounds better imoidk bout here if i make them longer it seems too fast for a normal diff D:

00:18:202 (3) - ^, and the slider doesn't look very good at all. Make it a simple curve or something
ok im not going to point anymore of these sliders out, it would take up the entire mod lol fixed hue
00:32:007 (1,2) - maybe a reverse slider instead? http://imgur.com/6JIjbsb triangles for life
00:33:201 (1) - spinner 100% starts and ends on 100% volume the spinner ist stupid but i dont know what to do man

Easy:
same thing as normal, you gotta hold those sliders man! and the hitsound volume is also 100% here
00:16:078 (5) - this slider to circle transition doesn't flow very well fixed
00:33:069 (3) - I really liked how you used this slider here, it fits very well. Maybe replace the spinner on the normal diff with one too?

Ok, overall it was a good map but with a few flaws. I will love to see a new undertale map ranked! Sorry if the mod looks short. When the song is 30 seconds and there is only 2 diffs, its hard to point out a lot of stuff

1. Shouldn't the artist be "toby fox"? I don't think the first letters of his name should be capital, according to this ranked map.
2. Check AIMod, there's inconsistencies with letterbox and countdown.
3. Add a preview point so people can listen to the best part of the music when they select this through song select. It's unrankable if you don't have one.

1. Pattern #1. This pattern uses a blanket, as you can see, and there is a triangle formed from the end of (1) and slider (2).
2. Pattern #2. Here, symmetry is used to make the pattern look appealing. A good way of making sure your sliders are the same is to copy as paste them, and use ctrl+g, ctrl+h and ctrl+j to flip them around.
3. Pattern #3. This can also be classed as a blanket because both slider-trails are parallel with each other.

1. 00:06:520 (5) - Add an NC here for consistency, you have NCs on all the other big white ticks, but not this one.
2. 00:06:520 (1,2,3,4,5) - Smoothen the curve of (5), so that it properly blankets over (4); that would look much nicer. It should look like this
3. 00:15:016 (5) - Same kind of thing as 00:06:520 (5) - , add an NC here. You probably chose to leave out an NC here to show the entire pattern, but I still think you should split it up, most people can read it fine.

[Easy]
The main problem with this difficulty is that you should focus on making memorable patterns rather than just connecting lines. Patterns are much more fun to play, and they add personality to the map. Patterns involve the usage of three things; shapes, symmetry and blankets. Blankets, or blanketing is when you wrap a slider round a hitcircle or slider-end, and make sure that the edge of the slider-trail is parallel with the parameter of the circle you're trying to overlap. Here are examples of patterns you can use that involve them (0.8 distance snap is used):

1. Pattern #1. This pattern uses a blanket, as you can see, and there is a triangle formed from the end of (1) and slider (2).
2. Pattern #2. Here, symmetry is used to make the pattern look appealing. A good way of making sure your sliders are the same is to copy as paste them, and use ctrl+g, ctrl+h and ctrl+j to flip them around.
3. Pattern #3. This can also be classed as a blanket because both slider-trails are parallel with each other.

And I think you get the idea. Make sure that each note you add contributes to a pattern of some sort, because that's the main thing that makes patterns look nice; their relation with other notes. If you want more examples, then you should look at some recently ranked easy diffs, and see what they do to make the map fun and aesthetically pleasing.

For these reasons, I'd recommend a remap of the easy diff. Sorry, but I don't want to mod minor things like grids and hitsounds when I feel that the foundation of the entire difficulty needs a rework. i remaped it and tried to use more patterns,i hope it is better now D:

[Normal]
This difficulty is much better, as I can see patterns be formed in cases such as 00:05:458 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - and 00:25:635 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - . Remap your easy to be a bit more like this.

1. 00:06:520 (5) - Add an NC here for consistency, you have NCs on all the other big white ticks, but not this one.
2. 00:06:520 (1,2,3,4,5) - Smoothen the curve of (5), so that it properly blankets over (4); that would look much nicer. It should look like this
3. 00:15:016 (5) - Same kind of thing as 00:06:520 (5) - , add an NC here. You probably chose to leave out an NC here to show the entire pattern, but I still think you should split it up, most people can read it fine.

Not much I can say about this difficulty, due to the spacing it feels more like an advanced diff rather than a normal, but that shouldn't be a problem; I still think it's much better than your current easy diff. fixed those things C:

I shot a star for this beatmap because I think it does have potential if you do all the things I've outlined in this mod. Good luck~ Awww yiss thank you! <3

From #modreqs, thought I'd give this a try.
Please take my mod as friendly suggestions

General

1. Try an offset of 168? Sounds better on beat in my ears but not too sure.
2. Looks like you have the same Slider Velocity for both [Easy] and [Normal], uhh imo you should decrease [Easy]'s Slider Velocity
3. Check AIMod - the red timing points are not synced the same for [Easy] and [Normal]

Easy

1. 00:05:459 (3) - change this up to a slider + note, having a clap on a silderend diminishes the emphasis, it's better to click a strong note rather than holding it Yeah youre right but i think its better to use the slider here since its should be simple
2. 00:13:954 (3) - same as above
3. 00:22:449 (3) - same as above
4. 00:07:583 (5) - for here, copy this 00:05:459 (3) slider and Ctrl + H it (basically use the same slider to create better symmetry) done
5. 00:10:769 (1) - I don't see why you use a New Combo here when you don't do it here 00:02:272 (3), so I suggest removing NC done
6. 00:19:264 (1) - same here
7. 00:27:759 (1) - same here
8. 00:32:007 (1,2,3) - the stacking here does not look good & may be hard to read: move the slider to the right more perhaps, so that the 2 doesn't lie within the slider's path? done
9. 00:33:069 (3) - extend this slider till the end of the note, to here: 00:34:131
10. I feel like hitsounds are overused at some places, in parts that don't necessarily need emphasis: 00:10:769 (1,2) / 00:19:264 (1,2,3) / 00:25:635 (1,2) etc.

idk how to hitsound,can you hit me up ingame maybeee?

Normal

1. 00:05:998 (4,1,2,3,4,5) - For these patterns, please decrease the distance spacing here, going from x0.8 to x1.4 seems too big of a jump for a [Normal]. Though it's not usually recommended to include jumps in [Easy] and [Normal] :/ the reason i increased the spacing is because it looks horrible with 0,8 spacing
2. 00:13:963 (3,4) - For these patterns, you can blanket better, try turning off Grid Snap if needed. Perhaps blanket & create a triangle with 00:13:963 (3,4,1): sliderstart of 3, sliderend of 4, and 1 im fine with the current version :v
3. 00:23:520 (5) - remove NC there was no Nc here,huh
4. 00:33:210 (1) - This spinner is too sudden, and too short for a [Normal] difficulty. Make this a slider instead like you did in [Easy] x
5. 00:33:210 (1) - if you are planning to stick with a spinner however, get a silent.wav file for the end of the spinner to completely eliminate any sounds at the end rather than making it 5% volume. ima do that
6. Again, hitsounds are used too much imo: 00:00:158 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - nothing interesting here to emphasize, 00:17:149 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - same here, etc.pls teach me hitsound

Overall Thoughts

1. Hitsounds are a little too much, it's fine to follow the beat or emphasize certain points but as of now, I feel like they are overused.
2. For aesthetics, try incorporating some horizontal or vertical sliders rather than 90 degree turns, like these:
3. Good Luck!

sorry if this sucks this is my first mod

Easy:
00:17:159 (1) - moved the slider just a few pixels "north-east" to x:168 y:264, it just looked a tad awkward not possible due to Distance Snap
00:22:468 (3) - moved this slider a bit down and left to x:24 y:216, it made the triangle feel weird (more awkward than the previous slider I mentioned) fixed
00:24:061 (4) - moved hit circle to x:112 y:136 for a more smooth transition with the previously edited slider Distance snap doesnt allow me to do that v:
from what I saw, no major errors

Normal:
00:12:901 (1) - moved hit circle to x:416 y:112 to make the triangle at that section more regulardone
00:26:175 (2) - moved hit circle to x:352 y:168 to make the triangle at that section more regular meeeh

From PM since it's so short and only two diffs, you're lucky I don't feel like modding the things in my queue:

General

Could you like NOT use a spoiler image as your bg, it's really disrespectful to people that have never played Undertale.there are people who didnt play undertale? haha just a banter nah i dunno its outta context anyway for people who didnt play the game. if you know who this guy is,you probably played the game/watched a letsplay or just stumpled upon it on the internet

What is this drum-hitclap file? It's like 3kb and plays nothing.. someone suggested me to use a ,,silent.wav'' for the spinner in the normal diff,i guess it doesnt work?

Don't use the same base sv for both diffs. That really ruins your spread balance. Normal should have faster sliders than Easy.
Ehh in general I think your spread balance is pretty bad. Normal uses cs4, much higher spacing, and a lot more 1/2. I think the Normal should have larger circles, but I guess it's up to you. i dont think cs4 is a problem for 30seconds

Your hitsounding is inconsistent and disconnected from the song. It sounds awful. Go read this handy guide on how to make it sound better.
It's not even consistent across difficulties... there are programs that let you copy hitsounds from one diff to another, search for them in the forums.
i dont know how2hitsound so i was waiting for such a post

---

Normal

Instead of going object-by-object like a traditional mod it'll be quicker if I just lump things together into categories.

Visuals/Aesthetics:
I normally don't talk about this kind of thing because I don't actually care at all, but the only diffs you have are an Easy and a Normal so all you really have to focus on is making your map look pretty, so I may as well give some advice.

1. 00:03:353 (3) - Sliders like these are ugly because the two separate ends aren't parallel with each other. This slider is also scrunched up too much for a Normal difficulty because you angled the red points too much. It looks a lot better if you do design it more like this.fixed
2. 00:06:539 (5,6,7,8,9) - Use the Create Polygon Circle option to design patterns like these. That way the distance is right all the way around. fixed
3. 00:08:663 (1,2,3) - The empty space between these notes is random, so everything looks really messy. 3's tail and sliderbody are much closer to 1 than it's head. Try to keep your empty space consistent throughout your map, it makes things look tidier. meeh
4. 00:18:221 (3) - This slider is curved too much. Well, that's a pretty common theme across you're whole set. Go read this handy guide about curving sliders and general visual appeal for slider designs. Don't follow it like a bible or anything, but use it to get ideas on how to keep your maps looking pretty.done hue

Gameplay:

1. You still have a lot of DS inconsistencies.. I guess they aren't to the point of being hard to read or anything, but they're really sloppy and avoidable.
2. 00:28:840 (3,1,2) - This is really confusing for Normal level players. They will click 2 first because it's the closest circle to their cursor. Move 2 so this won't happen.done

---

Easy

Everything I said for Normal applies here, too.

00:00:168 (1) - This slider design isn't appropriate for Easy level players. The angle happens too close to the slidertail, they'll get confused and find it uncomfortable to play. ITS TO EDGY RIGHT? HAA ᶠᶦˣᵉᵈ

---

I should have more to say, but it's 30 secs and only low level difficulties. You should remap these with more thought put into visual appeal. Don't curve your sliders so much, don't scrunch your sliders up too much, etc etc

Good luck in your future mapping!
