"Over & Over & Over & Over" was my entry for the Monthly Beatmapping Contest May 2025, which limitation was "All objects within a combo must have equal spacing". Looking around on previous editions and what concepts they had, i found and was inspired by THAT_otaku's very own Utopiosphere set & decided to full-on push myself to add some other limitations and make something out of it, so i ended up using the least amount of sliders as possible, those same sliders being straight lines & also using a small circle size to force myself to learn, adapt and overcome for the contest (then i got 21st place VAMOS NOJODA MADURO COÑOETUMADREEEEEEEEEE).

Hitsounding this was a fun experience, mostly due to searching & finding sounds, downloading from royalty free sites & taking others from existing beatmaps and editing them, cutting their delays and correcting the volume, experimenting with all that. It made me realize i love doing hitsounding even tho i yet have to learn how to mix between soft ones with drum ones like the pros x_x

this was the first project i have fully devoted myself into, trying to decide if pushing myself this hard and having myself to learn everything of anything and adapt with a contest like this was too much, and the fact i come out with something like this for a contest was stressful and crazy, but its a milestone and a really big achievement that my mutuals and friends (even modders and nominators) appreciate a ton, and that really makes me so proud. I would like to give my biggest shoutouts to the screeners of the May MBC, specially the one who said it was cute and the other one who selected it as their top pick. Whoever you guys are, you rock!

i also want to thank every single person who modded the set, your help really gave the set the much needed improvement it deserved, specially my difficulties since they were all full of mistakes and ugly stuff, but i want to appreciate and preach the fact you all took the time to understand what was going on with my top diff, the limitations & concept that were being used & gave me the ideas and the nutrients to make it better without taking away the soul of it, god bless you all x)

most importantly, huge thank yous to mister -Lian- for being my guide & mentor since the beginning of my adventures here, the fact you took time of your already busy schedule to teach me and give me tips and ideas on how to create and refine beatmaps while cheering for me to continue learning is something to be praised for. And last but not less important, the biggest of thank yous for both plsleaf & Ccori, you guys were both my inspirations with your respective beatmap sets, your creativity really fed my mind and gave me so much determination and energy to try to create something from this song & the contest itself, so many many thank yous for being great inspirations, being guests in this mapset, giving me support and for being the best people in the world. I still believe i havent thanked you all enough!

I also found out during the waiting time for the contest results that there was this thing called mapper's guild and that if you manage to rank a song set from the featured artist page before a priority quest deadline you get a keychain? waos...
