- 00:00:210 (1) - Whistle on head to match the bell in the song? Also on 00:02:952 (1)
- 00:05:695 (1,2,3) - Cool pattern—not sure if the inconsistent distance spacing is intentional though. (1,2) and (2,3) have different distance spacing, and both have higher distance spacing than other parts of the map. I also think it would be cool to make the pattern into a perfect square and have 00:09:810 (1) be part of the pattern instead of blanketed. Visually something like this: http://puu.sh/tfK7H/b3e6de7354.jpg
- 00:22:152 - This part of the song is different from the previous part, but I can't feel that contrast in your map. The song here moves to half time feel, and I think your map should reflect that with a change in rhythm. The rhythms you're currently using are exactly the same as the previous section, so it doesn't offer any change in the player's experience. Maybe just for the first combo, cut down on the rhythm density to show that: http://puu.sh/tfKls/e9b8e30877.jpg This way, it builds up nicely through the section.
Nice, simple Easy with good flow. More variety in slider shapes and rhythm would be nice. More hitsounds would also be nice.
- Unsnapped notes at 00:57:123 (6) and 01:01:237 (3)
- Right from the start, I noticed this map looks quite messy. Consider using lower distance spacing (I recommend 1.0) so the overlaps between 1/2 beat spaced objects are more substantial. Narrow edge overlaps just don't look good
- Add some soft whistles in the intro section?
- 00:00:210 (1,2) - Maybe change this to a 1/1 repeat slider to match with 00:02:952 (1)
- 00:11:181 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - I don't recommend using long chains of 1/2 beat spaced objects like this in Normal. It looks messy, and is also tough for less skilled players to follow. I think it would be better to break it up with a 1/1 beat spacing somewhere in between. For example: http://puu.sh/tfKUE/cb52648250.jpg This also gives better phrasing. Including some 1/2 beat stacks between circle and slider could also help to make it look cleaner (less of a snaking chain).
- 01:04:152 (2,3) - Might play better to swap these around since there's a stronger beat at 01:04:324
- 01:04:667 (4) - Maybe change to 1/1 slider and 1/2 beat spaced circle for more emphasis on the syncopated note.
- Some soft whistles in the intro section might sound nice.
Clean.
- Some soft whistles in the intro section might sound nice.
- 00:05:695 (1,2,3,1) - The angles seem random. Try to have some visual pattern? Maybe something like this: http://puu.sh/tfLCW/0ae8b73a7c.jpg
- 00:50:952 (1,2) - Blanket here could be cleaner.
- 01:00:552 - Why use different rhythm in this section? The map was quite clean and intuitive until you introduced this 1/4 spaced section. If you want to use these rhythms, I recommend using slightly larger distance spacing between the objects so it doesn't look so cluttered.
- 01:03:295 (1,2) - You can make cleaner blanket. Also at 01:04:667 (1,2)
- 01:05:695 (4,5,1) - Make consistent distance spacing? Also at 01:10:324 (1,2,3) Maybe you're trying to have increasing/decreasing spacing to match the music, but it doesn't really work with such a short group of notes. It just looks like a mistake. If you want to have gradually increasing spacing, maybe try some triangle patterns instead. 01:10:667 (3,1) - this jump is also quite extreme when it probably doesn't need to be.
Most of the map is quite good.
- 00:26:267 (1,2) - Maybe wider blanket without overlap would look nicer.
Looks fine.
