Easy:
  1. At 00:32:250 you broke up the beats into a "collection" of length 5 (a circle then a slider of length 4) and length 3 (a slider of length 2 and then a circle) but at 00:36:822 you broke it up into two "collections" of length 4. Slightly off putting. I would go with two "collections' of length 4 for both.

  2. Same this as above. 00:34:536 is a "collection" of length 3 followed by one of length 2, but 00:39:107 is a collection of length 4 followed by one of length 3. Either 4 then 3 or 3 then 4 would be fine.
Normal:
  1. Looks fine to me.
Hard:
  1. 00:37:393 - I would change this slider to two circles.
  2. 00:37:964 - I would also change this slider to two circles.

Good point with the collection thing for easy, took your advice and fixed.

Considered changing the sliders in hard but decided against it.

Thanks for the mod!

Easy


- 00:16:251 (1,2,1) - I think this flow its kinda weird, it looks like you can improve it if you move the 00:17:393 (2) - so it dosnt feel like you are hitting it from "behind"

- 00:23:108 (1,2) - This looks very bad imo, maybe change the slider or at least try to blank it with 1

- 00:29:393 (3) - I think it feels better if you move to x251 - y130

- 00:35:964 (4) - It feels like you are missing a note here

00:36:822 (1,2,1) - This kind of patterns will be really hard for new players since its a double reverse arrow, try to change the second arrow (maybe with a circle)

00:50:536 (1,2,1,2) - This sliders looks so... random. Maybe try to make a pattern with them

Normal


00:11:393 (2,3,4,5) - Why did you change the spacing here 00:11:964 (3,4) - its looks very weird when playing

00:17:679 (5,1) - This doesnt flow very good tbh, i would suggest to change the blanket from the 5 to make a better flow with 1

00:18:536 (2,3) - Make them blanket

00:31:964 (4,3) - This kind of overlap could be confusing for a new player, maybe try to stack it


Hard


00:18:536 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - I cant say this is bad, it just looks very difficult to a hard, but i dont know, just a suggestion.

00:29:107 (6,1) - uhhh, the spacing changes a lot here :(

00:29:107 (6,4) - stack ?

00:35:680 (5,6) - I dont like this kind of flow when you hit a slider from behind but idk, maybe its just your style

00:37:964 (3,1) - stack the 1, it looks very bad now


Spooky


- i know its just 160 bpm but 1.50 SV looks too much

00:13:107 (6,7,8) - why did the space change so much here ? it looks like a 1/2 jump

00:15:964 (8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - The whole pattern seem with too much spacing to me

00:20:679 (4,1) - It dosnt make sense to stack this since you didnt do this before and its really hard to read

00:28:250 (3,7) - Blanket ?

00:30:822 (4,6) - The pattern looks good but stacking this and then the 8 looks weird and hard to read

00:55:107 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Why did the space change soooo much here ?

nothing more to say, good luck !

- 00:23:108 (1,2) - This looks very bad imo, maybe change the slider or at least try to blank it with 1 yeah someone else said it too i changed the slider

- 00:29:393 (3) - I think it feels better if you move to x251 - y130 done

- 00:35:964 (4) - It feels like you are missing a note here ? thats in the middle of a slider

00:36:822 (1,2,1) - This kind of patterns will be really hard for new players since its a double reverse arrow, try to change the second arrow (maybe with a circle) you're the first to say this, if someone else comments on it i will, until then i think its fine

00:50:536 (1,2,1,2) - This sliders looks so... random. Maybe try to make a pattern with them i think they're fine

Normal


00:11:393 (2,3,4,5) - Why did you change the spacing here 00:11:964 (3,4) - its looks very weird when playing The spacing isn't different though? I think I know what you mean, I think it's fine as is

00:17:679 (5,1) - This doesnt flow very good tbh, i would suggest to change the blanket from the 5 to make a better flow with 1 fixed

00:18:536 (2,3) - Make them blanket best I could with the DS

00:31:964 (4,3) - This kind of overlap could be confusing for a new player, maybe try to stack it thought about this when making it, i concluded there's enough time between the potential overlap for it to be fine. if someone else complains about it ll change it though


Hard


00:18:536 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - I cant say this is bad, it just looks very difficult to a hard, but i dont know, just a suggestion. I disagree

00:29:107 (6,1) - uhhh, the spacing changes a lot here :( oh. oops. fixed

00:29:107 (6,4) - stack ? ?

00:35:680 (5,6) - I dont like this kind of flow when you hit a slider from behind but idk, maybe its just your style i get your concern, but yea like you said its fine to me

00:37:964 (3,1) - stack the 1, it looks very bad now thanks for the catch! fixed


Spooky


- i know its just 160 bpm but 1.50 SV looks too much eh, not really

00:13:107 (6,7,8) - why did the space change so much here ? it looks like a 1/2 jump thats on purpose, did some slight adjustments though

00:15:964 (8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - The whole pattern seem with too much spacing to me adjusted slightly

00:20:679 (4,1) - It dosnt make sense to stack this since you didnt do this before and its really hard to read made the first one stack so its consistent when this one stacks

00:28:250 (3,7) - Blanket ? myb fixed

00:30:822 (4,6) - The pattern looks good but stacking this and then the 8 looks weird and hard to read fixed

00:55:107 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Why did the space change soooo much here ? adjusted

nothing more to say, good luck !

Adjusted combos when suggested, thanks!

appreciate the mod

Hey! I decided to give it a quick check as per your request.

[General]
  1. Bright combo colours do not go too well with the dark-green BG, if you ask me. Maybe darken them?
[Easy]
  1. 00:15:691 (3,1) - minor - as the tail of (1) is so close players might accidentally hit it. Consider re-arranging the pattern in a more obvious way? example
  2. 00:21:405 (4) - the clap on this slider is off, it is better if you place it on the sliderstart, becuaase that's where the clap in the music is.
  3. 00:22:548 - the clap is placed correctly here, but having it in the middle of a slider means that players will not be able to click it and get proper feedback.Try something like this?
    Note: something similar happens to the beats at 00:32:834 - and 00:33:976 - you might want to do some changes, so, stornger claps can be mapped.
  4. 00:41:405 (4) - something similar to the patterns above, there are two very strong hits, so it would be more logical to use two circles, giving each of the beats a clickable object.

    Everything else is fine, though it could use more work on its appearance. Though you should not worry, this will come as you map more. For now you can just give it an extra check and see if there's anything you personally dislike.
[Normal]
  1. 00:25:119 (5) - this circle feels somewhat unnecessary the previous beat was much stronger and it would feel better if you could finish the combo there.
  2. 00:32:262 (1,3) - the same thing I've told you about stronger beats and claps in the Easy applies here.
  3. 00:45:405 (4,1) - you could stress the "goosebumps" thingy in the background by snapping objects to it. example

    Pretty much the same thing as with the Easy. Visually it could get better and the way you stress beats could also be improved. But overall it is not bad.
[Hard]
  1. 00:18:976 - here and in similar to this patterns you could use a single circle at the red tick (00:18:976 - ) instead of the slider. So, the stronger beat will be stressed better and the rhythm becomes slightly more interesting. As for the white tick left empty, you can add a reverse of a slider. So, the whole thing will look like this example
  2. 00:43:691 - this could use a circle with a new combo as the music changes here. As for the long slider 00:42:834 (9) - you can finish it earlier.
  3. 00:45:976 (1) - does not really fit with the difficulty, even in the Normal difficulty the same very pattern was mapped. Why not map it here as well?

    Yet again, I have nothing against your choice of the rhythm but I personally don't see any reasons to curve sliders like 00:32:262 (1) - the curves just seem somewhat random to me.
[Spooky]
  1. 00:16:262 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - a simple Ctrl+G would snap sliders on stronger beats making things sound more natural. Read more
    Note: same happens a few more times, you can listen to the song and find tsuch patterns yourself.
  2. 00:36:262 - the slider goes offscreen a little bit, probably should be moved higher.
  3. 00:43:691 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - I don't think the spacing reduction here is necessary. You could use regular spacing and play around with the patterns. example This would keep the flow and feel more playable, in my opinion.

    Overall it's the same things again. A few rhthm mistakes and minor appearance issues.
Not too bad, but definiely has a lot of space to improve!

Best of luck!

Thanks for the in depth mod I appreciate it a lot. Your information on music theory and stuff was pretty neat of a read + was good help, I hadn't caught that before in my wiki overnight study sessions.

TY for the mod! I've carefully considered all your triplet suggestions and I'm not really a fan of them. I had an insane that was a lot of triplets like that but it was pretty bad to play and felt very overmapped so I deleted it. I don't wanna turn Spooky into that :P so I have triplets where I feel they are most necessary.

As for your your 1/8 to the right comment I disagree personally but You could be right about that. If someone else comments on it I'll change it, though. I did change it to a reverse slider, because I felt going from two reverse sliders two a triplet was pretty random at best.

Lastly, the comment about the shorting of the reverse slider at the end I completely agree with.

Again, thanks for mod :)

Hello !, from your basement ! XD . Nah just kidding, whoo what's this song ??? I'm scared !!! X'D . I hope I can be helpful here !

General :
I'm not a BPM expert, but I think the offset should be 262. Please re-check, I might be wrong too

Easy :
Excellent !

Normal :
Keeping up combos until 4-6 will be nicer :)

Hard :
00:22:262 (5) - Is this curved for blanketing this ? 00:21:405 (3) -

Spooky :
Excellent !

Well, I guess that's all XD. No doubt ! it's well-mapped. I hope I'm helpful and not changing the style. Good luck ! :)

Hello !, from your basement ! XD . Nah just kidding, whoo what's this song ??? I'm scared !!! X'D . I hope I can be helpful here !

General :
I'm not a BPM expert, but I think the offset should be 262. Please re-check, I might be wrong too I have it how I do now because the downbeat is on the claps

Easy :
Excellent ! thanks!

Normal :
Keeping up combos until 4-6 will be nicer :) The combos now change either because of the main melody OR because of a downbeat. That being said, I did relook at all the combos and I made 00:23:119 (1) a NC because that wasn't consistent. Rest seem fine!

Hard :
00:22:262 (5) - Is this curved for blanketing this ? 00:21:405 (3) - it's not a blanket but I can see the confusion. reshaped slightly

Spooky :
Excellent ! thanks!

hello! I just wanted to take a quick glance at this since I was planning to map this song someday~
I might mod it some other day but for now I wanna let you know that O-Moei was right about your offset, it must be 262. I saw you replied about the downbeats falling on the claps, but this is not about that. Downbeats should fall in important/strong notes or where there is a noticeable change in the music, and setting your offset to 262 does the trick~

00:09:405 - Can you hear the strong sound here? It's introducing the new part of this melody, so a downbeat must be here~ setting your offset to 262 will fix this and the rest of the map!
00:18:548 - and 00:32:262 - are other examples of this~

Also! Your BPM is doubled, it must be 105, not 210. Setting the BPM to 105 will get rid off unnecessary downbeats and will follow the metronome how it should be (boom, clap, boom, clap).
I would like to give you a better explanation, but I'm stupid at explaining stuff, please remember to readjust your slider velocity after changing the BPM~

Good luck!

I'll trust you on all of this, adjusting offset to 262 and halving BPM.

Thanks a bunch for your explanation about why the offset should be 262 and not what I have now, because it makes a lot of sense. Appreciate it a lot! Also, sorry for mapping this before you could :^)

Hard has random spacing? huh. I thought I made the spacing pretty consistent overall with a few minor changes when I needed them. As for spooky, I made a few adjustments.

  • General
  1. your current combo colors bit hard to read when play. i'll post recommend for better to read. if you want to change, just copy paste my code on your map's notepad.
    [Colours]
    Combo1 : 0,134,0
    Combo2 : 102,244,113
  • Normal
  1. 00:41:404 (1,2,3) - i dont think those 1/4 to fit for normal diff. just make 00:41:404 (1,2) - them to 1/2 sliders and 00:42:547 (3) - change this to single note. will more fit for normal diff.
  2. 00:55:119 (1,2) - ^same as above.
  • Spooky
  1. 00:32:262 (1) - isnt better to place this around 306l189 for follow flow?
  2. 00:41:119 (8,2) - you can make perfect stack for them i guess.
  3. 00:45:690 (1) - i dont know this spin for what. how about start it from 00:45:976 here? if you follow my suggestion, you should add objects to before spin
    or just remove spin and fill rhythm on there. i think just remove this spinner is the best choice. but up to you.
  4. 00:50:833 (3) - i believe you can make better shape for this slider. your current slider have too much useless points. i think can be less those slider points with some red points. look at spoiler box and try to make one yourself. or.. i'll post my code. so remove that slider only and copy paste from my code. choose of them anyways.
    275,253,50833,2,0,B|267:227|289:199|289:199|264:178|264:178|325:111|283:26|206:26,1,300.000000596046

your easy looks nice. i think .. if replace objects bit for spooky diff, will better to read when play. good luck with it!

Thank you for your mod! I appreciate the combo colors, the new sliders for Spooky, and the general tips. Everything was implemented.

I did make the decision to keep my ugly sliders in Hard, because tbh ugly sliders fit the theme of Goosebumps! Spooky, ugly stuff. Tell me those sliders aren't the thing of nightmares.

I did change the Spooky ones because you went out of your way to make some good looking ones for me, and I guess you could consider those scary as well. Maybe.

Thanks again for the mod!

^Didn't apply either change, I think it's fine as it is now. The reason I have it like I do now is because if I skip notes this section feels very awkward to play. I've tried various setups and I think the one I have right now feels the best to play while fitting the music as best as possible. I see where you're coming from, though.

Good catch with the first point, I remapped that part.

Not surewhat you mean by the "offbeats" point.

As for the comment at 44s, I mapped the rythm of the guy saying "goosebumps", so I'm not changing that part.

Fixed blanket.

00:23:691 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - the music this maps starts at 00:23:404 - so get it to start here

Fixed your first statement for hard, I think the downbeat has an important that I need to map.

00:23:119 (1) - remove NC
00:23:404 (2) - NC

Unchanged, but thanks for the tips. The combos are fine, I think.

As for your second comment, it's a good opportunity for me to explain myself. So for the first two sets of 1/4 notes, I didn't have a slider at the end, but the third one I did. My reasoning for this is that there is a distict note hat I need to map at 00:20:833, but putting another 1/4 note there is hard to read (people do 4 1/4 notes twice, and expect the same the third time), so I gave the player a leniency by making it a slider instead.

Thanks for mod! Hopefully my explanations for my decisions made sense.

NO KUDOS!
~Because no one is allowed to give kudos twice to the same person on the same map~

Yes sir, I made this banner just to mod your map, I might use it on my mods for October tho \:D/


Easy
This difficulty is too dense to be considered as "Easy" And I don't say that because of the icon; I know sometimes the game doesn't calculate difficulties appropriately, but this is not your case. But instead of doing too much stuff, I think you could rename it to "Average" and rename normal to "Advanced" so your easy doesn't get to be considered "easy" and nobody else complains about it, and your mapset could still be rankable because you're having at least one difficulty that is less than two stars in difficulty rating. Otherwise, here's what you would have to do to make it easier:
maybe someone skipped this diff to avoid telling you this :^)

  1. 00:09:405 (1,2,3) - You should get rid of patterns like this one and do simpler ones, you're demanding too much for a beginner. Check all your diff since there are a lot of them~ Besides, it is recommended to star easy diffs with a slider, since that gives a good start for beginners~
    Other similar patterns so you understand:
  2. 00:13:976 (1,2,3) -
  3. 00:20:833 (1,2,3,1,2,3) -
  4. 00:32:261 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Now here you went really hard! This is way too dense~
    For what I see, you may be afraid of ignoring beats on the red ticks, but don't worry! That's usual on these kind of diffs~



Normal
  1. 00:12:548 (3) - You should place it like this. Flows better by being more connected the previous slider~
  2. 00:18:548 (2) - Isn't there supposed to be a clap on the tail? (slider's end)
  3. 00:20:262 (4) - Clap on the head? (slider's start)
  4. 00:45:405 (4) - Forgot clap?

Hard
  1. 00:16:547 (2) - Do a shape that looks like (7) (the previous slider before the note) like this. It would aesthetically look better and will feel your pattern more unified.
  2. 00:17:119 (3) - This one also would look a little bit better if you slightly move the tail one grid up, I don't feel like a 100% straight horizontal slider fits here~
  3. 00:29:976 (2) - I see you were putting NC on every downbeat, to keep your consistency, NC should be here~ I know that you didn't follow that on
  4. 00:18:547 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - but I see that is for emphasizing that important part of the song, but you should keep your consistency on the rest. Also, check your combo consistency on your other diffs since you seem to understand it here~ (You can put NC every second downbeat on Easy so your combos don't get too short)
    And I forgot to mention the same 00:11:691 (2) - here~
  5. 00:36:834 (1) - Uh.. going through this slider doesn't feel good at all imo, try to do a friendly shape, like this.
  6. 00:37:976 (4) - This one doesn't feel as bad as the other, but is unpleasant to the eyes ;-;
  7. 00:42:834 (9) - Just leave it as a circle, or also you can make the slider use soft sampleset.
  8. 00:57:691 (2,3,4,5,6) - Be more creative! You can use a variety of patterns to make your map look good, just placing random notes will make people stay away from your map, thisstar pattern could fit well~ You may think that making some weird patterns would fit the song because they look "spooky", but actually, that isn't going to help at all; you need to try to make your map (all the diffs) look aesthetically prettier, otherwise, some people may not want to take your map serious.

Spooky
  1. 00:31:119 (5) - Place it like this; notes are placed like that commonly and feel good~
  2. 00:31:976 (8) - Select this slider and press Ctrl+G on your keyboard, this will swap the head and the tail and create the same effect as in my previous suggestion.
  3. 00:45:404 (6) - I guess you forgot a clap here~
  4. 00:55:976 (6) - End it on the red tick~

That's all for now~
Take a look at the wiki and look how to improve your patterns, just don't try to imitate patterns if they don't fit on your song just to make your map more pleasant to the eyes, be sure they play well too! https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Formation_Techniques
You can wander around, not just stay on one page~

One more thing! You should reply on whatever thing you apply or reject, most modders like that to improve their mods and personally, I love to see feedback~

Don't give up!

I made a remap that I guess would be considered easy after this part of the mod, played through my current Easy and the remap a bunch, decided I liked my easy a lot more. I have the remap saved (won't upload it though) just in case, but yeah. Renamed to Average, as you suggested. I like that idea a lot.

    And I forgot to mention the same 00:11:691 (2) - here~ Fixed all the combos, I think. Thanks for pointing this out; I actually don't know how I missed these lol
  5. 00:36:834 (1) - Uh.. going through this slider doesn't feel good at all imo, try to do a friendly shape, like this. Yeah, you're right. I changed it!
  6. 00:37:976 (4) - This one doesn't feel as bad as the other, but is unpleasant to the eyes ;-; Both of these sliders were changed, and I redid the pattern in this area to adjust for the change in flow.
  7. 00:42:834 (9) - Just leave it as a circle, or also you can make the slider use soft sampleset. Just made it a circle
  8. 00:57:691 (2,3,4,5,6) - Be more creative!

I'll be honest; I didn't make bad patterns because I wanted them to be ugly for flavor, I actually thought these were good patterns. I guess that's just my bad lol, inexperience = R.I.P. Thanks for the honesty, I redid the pattern (went for the pentagon you suggested). The only thing that I did on purpose for flavor was make the sliders that follow "beware" and "scare" ugly.

Mod response tl;dr - Applied everything.

A few notes for future reference;

Despite being a pretty new mapper overall (I've been spamming some maps in my freetime though, even if I don't upload any of them lol), I'm committed to getting this song ranked; I loved the books as a kid and the song itself has been part of an inside joke between me and my friends for a while (I fell in love when the dogs barked the main melody)

The big point in this mod was that the patterns were just kinda random and ugly. I actually agree, and so I'm going to do my best to make the patterns...not random and ugly. Thanks for the mod ezek, I appreciate it quite a bit.

P.S.; thanks for introducing me to that winter song :^)

P.S. 2 - Just to put this out there, I know that spamming KDS on a map doens't really help it much, but I've been modding a lot to get better at mapping, and there isn't really anywhere else to for it to go lol. I guess I could save it, but...eh.

I don't think you need to set break time in such a short song. even if you insist, I suggest that you make Average and Advanced break at the same period.
there's a huge sv gap between your Advanced (1.3) and Hard (2.6) and it makes the diff spread really unballanced. it's really strange that the Advanced diff has a lower sv than Average, I'd suggest that you turn it up to around 2.2 and remap the Advanced diff, since this can be an unrankable issue
preview point is unsnapped, please reset it to 00:09:404 - in all diffs

Average
consider raising the AR to 3 to avoid a gap with Advanced which has AR5
00:24:833 (3) - why not maping the blank after it? it currently feels strange
00:33:976 (4) - not a big problem, but this straight slider looks a little weird among all those curved ones before it and after it

Advanced
00:18:262 (1,2) - it seems more consistent if you move the NC to 2
00:21:119 (5,1) - same here, move NC to 5
00:39:119 (1,2) - I have to say... they look so odd
00:42:547 (3,4) - unstack them? as you haven't used this so far, it may be better to avoid that as beginners can get confused easily by stacked approach circles
00:55:690 (2,3) - ^
00:49:119 (2,3,1) - doesn't flow really well imo, you may want to rework this pattern a bit

Hard
00:22:262 (5) - it has a weird shape = =
00:25:405 (1) - you may want a clap at its end
this diff is generally ok, but it'd be better if you could get rid of 00:12:262 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6) - 00:22:834 (6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this kind of long circle combos and put some sliders in between. it should make the Hard diff more friendly

Spooky
OD7 recommended, 6 is too slow for this difficulty
00:11:119 (6) - missing clap
00:12:262 (3,7) - ^
00:29:404 (7) - ^
00:55:691 (4) - ^
00:10:262 (3,4,5) - if you decide to place them like this, why not making the triangle regular?
00:25:405 (1) - same as Hard
00:29:404 (7) - missing clap
00:41:405 (1,2,3) - they are nothing wrong on themselves, but it feels pretty strange to make it even easier than Hard diff which has 3 triples at this point
00:45:976 (1) - same as 00:25:405 (1) -
I'm not sure if this song deserve such a difficult map like this, with jumps like all the way through, the map makes less sense with the music

that's all for me
good luck

This is the byproduct of a recent change that make be rename Easy and Normal. Because of your (admittedly very relevant) concern, I'm gonna remap Advanced with a 2.2 slider velocity. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! This officially means I've remapped every single difficulty.

Also, fixed the preview point thing. As a side note, the break at the "goosebumps" is there in the average because I felt mapping it would be weird for an easier difficulty, I think it's fine for advanced though. I'll take a look when I remap.


Average
consider raising the AR to 3 to avoid a gap with Advanced which has AR5 done
00:24:833 (3) - why not maping the blank after it? it currently feels strange Fixed.
00:33:976 (4) - not a big problem, but this straight slider looks a little weird among all those curved ones before it and after it Gave it a slight curve

Overall thoughts: Yeah, changing AR to 3 was a good suggestion. Also, with your slider point I went through and very slightly adjusted a few sliders to make them more consistent overall. Should be a barely noticeable change

Advanced
00:18:262 (1,2) - it seems more consistent if you move the NC to 2
00:21:119 (5,1) - same here, move NC to 5
00:39:119 (1,2) - I have to say... they look so odd

00:49:119 (2,3,1) - doesn't flow really well imo, you may want to rework this pattern a bit

While I appreciate the mod here, I'm just gonna remap advanced with a higher SV. The core of the map will be the same though, so consider all of these implemented.

Hard
00:22:262 (5) - it has a weird shape = = fixed, I guess
00:25:405 (1) - you may want a clap at its end great catch, can't beleive I didn't noticed this before. fixed
this diff is generally ok, but it'd be better if you could get rid of 00:12:262 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6) - 00:22:834 (6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this kind of long circle combos and put some sliders in between. it should make the Hard diff more friendly

Overall thoughts: I see your point with the hitcircle overuse. Added some sliders.

I'm not sure if this song deserve such a difficult map like this, with jumps like all the way through, the map makes less sense with the music

Overall thoughts: Fixed all the claps.

As for whether this song deserves this difficulty, I think so. The song is slow and the melody isn't crazy, but I do thing this map is appropriate for the song. That being said, I'm open to changing my mind if many other people comment on how this song doesn't deserve Spooky, but as a personal opinion I think it's fine.

that's all for me
good luck
Thank you for the mod. I am going to remap Advanced (Right now, probably), and then edit this post when I do so. Thank you very much for the mod!

EDIT - Advanced remapped. As a note; It follows almost exactly the same rhythm, just with different placement.

Average:

Rename this to normal.

00:14:261 (2) - Bend this at 0:15:119 to match the music better.

00:15:691 (3) - Shift this up 1 space.

00:21:404 (2) - Bend this at 0:21:976 to better match the music.

00:23:404 (2) - Bend this at 0:24:261

00:27:976 (2) - Bend this at 0:28:833

00:31:119 (2) - Center the elbow for neatness' sake.

00:32:261 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This whole portion is really hard for normal players. Consider reducing the number of 1/2 consecutive sliders and replacing them with 1/1 circles.

00:49:976 (3) - Move this to x:256 y:284 for better flow.

00:51:691 (2,1) - Blanketing these would be hella rad.

Advanced:

00:09:976 (3,4) - Blanket these.

00:11:690 (1,2,3,4) - A bit confusing of a pattern with these overlaps.

00:14:261 (2,3) - Blanket these.

00:18:547 (1) - Just repeat this 4 times. It'll look and play a bit nicer.

00:25:404 (1) - Notes appear on top of this slider. Since this is for novice players, I suggest removing the spinner and adding a slow slider.

00:27:976 (2,5) - Novice players will skip to (5) from (2). I suggest making it a bit more obvious that (3) and (4) come before hand.

00:29:976 (1,2,3,4) - Confusing for novice players. Consider redoing it.

00:33:976 (6,1) - Blanketing needs work.

Average:

Rename this to normal. I'm not really sure what to name this. It's too hard to be an easy and it's too easy to be a "normal" I kinda like the name average tbh.

00:14:261 (2) - Bend this at 0:15:119 to match the music better. Good idea. Fixed.

00:15:691 (3) - Shift this up 1 space. Re-positioned some stuff anyway since moving the bend messes with the DS

00:21:404 (2) - Bend this at 0:21:976 to better match the music. Done!

00:23:404 (2) - Bend this at 0:24:261 Yup.

00:27:976 (2) - Bend this at 0:28:833 Done

00:31:119 (2) - Center the elbow for neatness' sake. Fixed.

00:32:261 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This whole portion is really hard for normal players. Consider reducing the number of 1/2 consecutive sliders and replacing them with 1/1 circles. Made an adjustment.

00:49:976 (3) - Move this to x:256 y:284 for better flow. Done.

00:51:691 (2,1) - Blanketing these would be hella rad. These are kinda random like this on purpose.

Advanced:

Unrelated to the mod but I made the CS 3.5

00:09:976 (3,4) - Blanket these. Ok.

00:11:690 (1,2,3,4) - A bit confusing of a pattern with these overlaps. I think it's fine, personally, although if someone else comments on it I'll likely change it.

00:14:261 (2,3) - Blanket these. [Fixed, I believe.[/b]

00:18:547 (1) - Just repeat this 4 times. It'll look and play a bit nicer. Not really sure what you mean by this.

00:25:404 (1) - Notes appear on top of this slider. Since this is for novice players, I suggest removing the spinner and adding a slow slider. Alright. Done.

00:27:976 (2,5) - Novice players will skip to (5) from (2). I suggest making it a bit more obvious that (3) and (4) come before hand.

00:29:976 (1,2,3,4) - Confusing for novice players. Consider redoing it. Redid it. Kept the same idea but hopefully it's clearer to read.

00:33:976 (6,1) - Blanketing needs work. Fixed.

00:38:547 (6,1) - ^

Hi~ M4M from your queue

Great map. Nice work you did :)
Hard
00:15:691 (6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - I don't really like it. You're missing the important tick here 00:16:119 - And then two strong bits at the sliderends. So try this. Sounds better for me.


00:20:834 (1,2,3,4,5) - I can't understand why you put the white ticks at the end of the slider. It is much better to start with it. Also blue tick at 00:22:119 - is pretty good for playing (If only because there is circle at 00:22:976 - . It's same place, so why not?) For example


00:25:119 (7,1) - try to shift spinner to 00:25:833 (1) - and add two circles between them. It's much better for me

00:45:976 (1,2) - thinks twice about these two sliders. I know you were trying to follow the vocals of the song here , but it affects pace of the game. I'm not sure I correctly expressed the idea, I hope you understand me

The rhythm of the song is repeated, so if you liked, what I suggested, you can apply it to all the songs. For example about blue tick at 00:29:833 - I've considered it in my first remark for this diff.

Spooky
00:20:691 (4) - Frankly, It confuses me. In an attempt to save the form, you despise the rhythm. (Same that in the previous,
I do not want to repeat)

A bit boring to play 00:33:404 - to 00:41:119 - . What is the meaning of a large quantity of single circles? Check the accuracy or what... I would advise to add sliders (I know nothing about Insane, so just my opinion. Maybe because it is too hard for me :) )

Advanced
00:55:690 (2,3) - Replace it with one slider. It's much better for me
00:14:261 (2,3) - blanket?
00:47:690 (4) - The end of the slider is at the beginning of the music beat. Bad idea. Try 1/2 slider + single circle

Average looks fine.

Hope this was helpful, GL ;)

Hi~ M4M from your queue Hi!

Great map. Nice work you did :) Thanks! It it means a lot to me when I see positive comments like this since this is the first time ive put this much effort into a map.

Good call. I fixed this, and I really like your suggestion. Thanks!

Fixed, although I didn't add the blue tick circle because I think it'd be a bit much.

00:25:119 (7,1) - try to shift spinner to 00:25:833 (1) - and add two circles between them. It's much better for me

Eh, don't really like this change. Felt weird and the spinner would be too short to play.

00:45:976 (1,2) - thinks twice about these two sliders. I know you were trying to follow the vocals of the song here , but it affects pace of the game. I'm not sure I correctly expressed the idea, I hope you understand me

I thought about this for a bit but decided to keep it as is. I think it creates an interesting change in rythm to keep the song from being extremely repetitive (which admittedly, it is)

The rhythm of the song is repeated, so if you liked, what I suggested, you can apply it to all the songs. For example about blue tick at 00:29:833 - I've considered it in my first remark for this diff.

Spooky
00:20:691 (4) - Frankly, It confuses me. In an attempt to save the form, you despise the rhythm. (Same that in the previous,
I do not want to repeat) I get your point, but I think it's fine.

A bit boring to play 00:33:404 - to 00:41:119 - . What is the meaning of a large quantity of single circles? Check the accuracy or what... I would advise to add sliders (I know nothing about Insane, so just my opinion. Maybe because it is too hard for me :) )

Since I know someone else will ask about this, hit circle overuse is totally intentional in this map. Sliders feel forced on the other difficulties for difficulty purposes, but I really think this map is a hit circle fest at heart. Thus, the freedom to not worry about keeping it easier lets Spooky take full advantage of what this map is trying to be; a slower hit circle aim map with generally consistent spacing.

Advanced
00:55:690 (2,3) - Replace it with one slider. It's much better for me IT's a circle and a slider because there's a distinct new sound at 00:55:976 (3) that should be clickable.
00:14:261 (2,3) - blanket? Fixed.
00:47:690 (4) - The end of the slider is at the beginning of the music beat. Bad idea. Try 1/2 slider + single circle Fixed.

M4M request.
[General]
Better to silence the sliderslide. It's quite noisy.

[Average]
I don't think it is a valid diff name. Use Normal instead.
It's quite old style yeah
Currently you could hardly see long sliders like 00:09:691 (2) -

00:36:833 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This is more like current style.

00:52:834 (1) - This slider shape is not nice. 3points are enough for a normal shape slider.

[Advanced]
00:50:833 (4) - You need to NC when changing SV.
Also you should adjust the spacing between 3 and 4 to make them the same with 2 to 3 due to the SV change.
00:53:119 (2,3) - Same here


[Hard]
Same SV issues as Advanced
It may sound a bit demoralizing yet I should say this diff is too 1/2 spammed. Moreover, the spacing is too average, which means that there is no ups and downs on spacing. Music has its climax and intense parts and smooth parts. You should use different spacing to emphasize them.

[Spooky]
00:19:405 (1,2) - Should be same spacing as 00:18:548 (1,2) -
00:43:691 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - This is killing players
00:45:976 (1) - Not a wise choice to place a spinner here.
Again, same issue with hard. It's quite 1/2 spammed.

Good luck!

I don't think it is a valid diff name. Use Normal instead. I'm pretty sure there are some ranked mapsets with Average in the Name, and this map was at first an Easy, before I was informed that it is inherently too hard to be an easy. I'll rename it normal I guess.
It's quite old style yeah
Currently you could hardly see long sliders like 00:09:691 (2) - This entire map I follow the same pattern of circle on the downbeat, a slider for the main "du-du-du-du-du" then a circle for the clap. I think this works well for an easier difficulty.

00:36:833 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This is more like current style. Alright.

00:52:834 (1) - This slider shape is not nice. 3points are enough for a normal shape slider. I legit did not realize this had more than 3 slider points until you pointed it out. Oops lol.

[Advanced]
00:50:833 (4) - You need to NC when changing SV. Okay.
Also you should adjust the spacing between 3 and 4 to make them the same with 2 to 3 due to the SV change.
00:53:119 (2,3) - Same here Fixed both of these


[Hard]

I guess you're right. Remap #2, then? heh.

[Spooky]
00:19:405 (1,2) - Should be same spacing as 00:18:548 (1,2) - Isn't it?
00:43:691 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - This is killing players Well, I think it's too slow to make it a stream, so I made it spaced like that. I guess I could reduce the spacing? I mean I"m not really sure what the fix is for "this is killing players", why is it killing players? Because it's too hard? I'll nerf it I suppose.
00:45:976 (1) - Not a wise choice to place a spinner here. Remapped.
Again, same issue with hard. It's quite 1/2 spammed.

Good luck!
Overall thoughts:

Alright, I've been thinking about this mapset for a while, and every mod comes up with a new reason for me to be really dissapointed with it. I've remapped it a lot, but I just can't seem to figure out how to map the hard and spooky for this song because I don't know how to use the admittedly very simple melody and properly emphasize notes. How else do I map it other than spamming 1/2 notes? It's a very simple rhythm and I'm struggling to come up with ways to provide gameplay that isn't just click a metronome of 1/2s to the "du du du du du" that you hear.

As I said I'm committed to ranking this so I won't give up. I'll try to get some help with this map that isn't just mods because I think I'm stuck. A lot of time has been spent on this map so I'm not giving up, but it'll take some more work. Thanks for your mod.

Gameplay:

  1. 00:11:690 (1,2) - would be nice if same shape like this http://puu.sh/ppYcz/14866b125c.jpg or use you own shape
  2. 00:16:261 (1,2) - ^^ same ? or is intentional
  3. 00:26:547 (2) - i feel this flow kindy poor beetween 00:25:404 (1) and 00:27:691 (1), maybe change place?
  4. 00:36:833 (1) - you can make blanket with 00:35:119 (2)
  5. 00:40:547 (3,4) - need grid 2 down to align with 00:39:690 (2)
That break is unless for this song, still make possible rhythm without SV change or more harder, is better 1/1 slider long or something you own rhythm

[Advanced]

Gameplay

  1. 00:09:976 (3,4) - would be nice if blanket
  2. 00:13:404 (4) - try move up to avoid little overlap with 00:12:261 (2)
  3. 00:14:547 (3,4) - why not same shape?
  4. 00:19:119 (X) - just saying the instrumental is there, is make sense add note if you follow instrumental + beat
  5. 00:19:976 (X) - ^ same
  6. 00:20:261 (3) - same shape as 00:19:404 (2)
  7. 00:47:690 (4) - try align with 00:48:261 (1,2)
  8. 00:51:976 - SV change is huge, need NC
[Hard]

Gameplay:

  1. 00:10:547 (5,7) - my view, this still possible improve blanket
  2. 00:11:691 (1) - look like parallel, try more curve IMO
  3. 00:36:548 (8,9,1) - is out area, is offscreen
look good

[Spooky]

Gameplay:

  1. 00:18:976 (4,4) - i don't get why not use 1/2 slider like 00:20:690 (4) ? because they actually follow well IMO
  2. 00:30:834 (4) - could be same sharpe as 00:30:548 (3) if you care consistency
[]
look nice, but I feel this need more work for improve design, symentric etc...
Good luck !

  1. 00:09:976 (3,4) - would be nice if blanket Done.
  2. 00:13:404 (4) - try move up to avoid little overlap with 00:12:261 (2) Ok
  3. 00:14:547 (3,4) - why not same shape? would be kinda weird since they'd be different rotations and the symmetry of being the same shape would be lost
  4. 00:19:119 (X) - just saying the instrumental is there, is make sense add note if you follow instrumental + beat Great idea! I like this a lot.
  5. 00:19:976 (X) - ^ same Yep, I like it.
  6. 00:20:261 (3) - same shape as 00:19:404 (2) Okay.
  7. 00:47:690 (4) - try align with 00:48:261 (1,2) Not sure why I'd have to here, I think this is fine (the slider creates a semicircle with 2, kinda, which is what im going for)
  8. 00:51:976 - SV change is huge, need NC [b]This was already fixed by the time you posted this :P

Gameplay:

  1. 00:10:547 (5,7) - my view, this still possible improve blanket Agreed. Fixed
  2. 00:11:691 (1) - look like parallel, try more curve IMO Okay.
  3. 00:36:548 (8,9,1) - is out area, is offscreen Fixed. :x
look good Ty!

Gameplay:

  1. 00:18:976 (4,4) - i don't get why not use 1/2 slider like 00:20:690 (4) ? because they actually follow well IMO Good idea. fixed
  2. 00:30:834 (4) - could be same sharpe as 00:30:548 (3) if you care consistency Fixed.

look nice, but I feel this need more work for improve design, symentric etc...
Good luck !
Thanks for mod! i'll work on improving Spooky as you said with design and symmetry and whatnot.

Well if this is still not ranked in June I guess you could contact me and we could figure out how to improve this mapset hmm

Since this diff is called beginner you can actually increase the DS slightly so it looks less "squished" if that's the right word.
00:34:547 (1,2,3) - The triangle you tried to form here is a bit broken because the space between each other is not the same. Additional to that, this would be a good example why a slightly higher DS looks better. :p
00:36:261 (4,1) - Maybe CTRL + H (1)? That "flow" that you used here is quite uncommon in easier diffs and also doesn't fit the your mapping style here. You wouldn't ruin the flow afterwards either with that change.
00:40:833 (4) - Little suggestion: Move this circle a bit up so the placement here looks less monotonous because you mostly placed the objects straight to the next one all the time.

I know that I said myself that blanket mods aren't coo, but in this diff there are quite some blankets that are obviously off (00:09:976 (3,4) - 00:14:261 (2,3) for example)
00:27:690 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - You should consider a pattern change here because this is so much more tense than all the others you use in the whole maps because of the amount of circles you placed here.
00:49:976 (1,1) - Why don't you keep the NC consistency? Sure it's because of the vocals, but emphasizing a unique part that has no spacing changes or anything similar is weird imo.
00:52:261 (1) - It's not that great that this slider has its tail on the downbeat since this downbeat adds a new melody in the music (or makes it at least more audible than before).

[Hard]
00:09:976 (3) - Spacing inconsistency? I don't see a reason to use 1.0x DS more than at the other ones.
Overall you should check if everything is consistent and try to avoid some close overlaps like 00:32:262 (1,2) as it doesn't look great in this diff because all the circles have bigger spacing to each other.

00:17:690 (6,7,8) - They are placed really weird and look random if you compare it with the previous ones that have flow and a structure. Also, the spacing from (7) to (8) is inconsistent because (8) doesn't have something that allows this emphasis.
00:49:976 (7) - Shouldn't the NC be here already? Otherwise it's inconsistent with the other diffs.

You wouldn't ruin the flow afterwards either with that change. I think the flow here is alright because the player basically has to reposition their cursor to the left some to continue the pattern. The break they are given should be ample time for them to do so.
00:40:833 (4) - Little suggestion: Move this circle a bit up so the placement here looks less monotonous because you mostly placed the objects straight to the next one all the time. Done! Did this in some other places too because you make a good point here.

I know that I said myself that blanket mods aren't coo, but in this diff there are quite some blankets that are obviously off (00:09:976 (3,4) - 00:14:261 (2,3) for example) I actually think blanket mods are fine, personally, they do go a long way in making a map look attractive. Now, a mod of only blankets...that's another story. Fixed all of these.
00:27:690 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - You should consider a pattern change here because this is so much more tense than all the others you use in the whole maps because of the amount of circles you placed here. The point of this pattern was to wrap around the long slider and then rotate back around to the bottom left of the map. Adjusted some notes positions but the pattern overall is alright I think.
00:49:976 (1,1) - Why don't you keep the NC consistency? Sure it's because of the vocals, but emphasizing a unique part that has no spacing changes or anything similar is weird imo. Good idea. Fixed
00:52:261 (1) - It's not that great that this slider has its tail on the downbeat since this downbeat adds a new melody in the music (or makes it at least more audible than before). Fixed. Made circle require special flow to emphasize it.

00:09:976 (3) - Spacing inconsistency? I don't see a reason to use 1.0x DS more than at the other ones. Fixed!

Checked the map for visual inconsistencies and spacing inconsistencies and I think I have em all buggered out. Thanks.

Thanks for the mod ~

This song reminds me of one of the tracks from Rayman 2, if you've ever played that ;)
