these songs are on the shorter side of most other metal songs, we wanted to make this accessible as possible to mappers who dont map metal lol

theres also 2 min songs in the pool u can choose from :) but please do not modify the songs because our intention is to rank the winning entry

Hello guys
SaltyLucario
hey, since this is first time we're hosting a contest, i've set up a poll about the song pool. we'd love to gather thoughts on it and how would you improve it. everyone feel free to fill it, even if you do not plan to participate this time around :) hopefully next time we can come up with a pool that'd convince you to participate!

here's the link to the poll
his everything
i wish i could be in

Hey everyone! Just a clarification, if you get someone to do hitsounds for you it will not count as contribution to the submission as only the map itself is judged. You may choose to split the prize money with the hitsounder but hitsounds will not bne accounted for in judging.
