IIIIIIIII'M
FEELIN' ALIIIVE, AGAIN
ALIIIVE, AGAIIIIN
General:- With HellDawn gone, for some reason, you're missing an Easy to finish off the mapset. I suggest you make/get one for a lovely full mapset.
- The 'And' in the title would look much better uncapitalised. In addition, that's how most sources capitalise it.
- For some reason, I feel that the dark combo colours blend in with the background quite a bit. Consider lightening them up.
- Also consider tick rate 2, as it fits most 1/2 songs apparently and something about HP drain. What works for you.
- "Awake" doesn't need to go in tags, as it's already in the title.
- I think each difficulty works better without countdown. In fact, your current start points on your difficulties seem a bit weird, as in nothing comes into the music at that point like guitars or vocals.
Crazy:00:21:147 (2) - Perhaps move two grids left for symmetry/consistent spacing in this combo.
00:52:647 (1) - In my opinion, a finish on the start of this works nicely.
01:00:897 (4) - This 0.3x drop in spacing could be confusing, and be confused for starting on a blue tick. You might want to fix this.
01:01:647 (1) - I think there's enough emphasis on this to warrant another finish.
01:07:647 - Drag this break to here, it's much nicer and the other difficulties start the break here.
01:28:834 (6) - To me, this feels like it should be 1/2 earlier; with the hitcircle that is 1/2 before this slider now where the slider ended. This fits to the guitar and vocals more. Oh, and fix spacing as a result, of course.
01:46:647 (1) - Deja vu, but a finish would be lovely on the start of this slider. And a whistle on 01:48:334 (4).
02:00:147 (1) - Once again, I expected a finish here. As with 02:01:647 (1). (In fact, you get the idea, do the same things for the last chorus as well, please. They just sound so satisfying.)
02:36:897 (1) - I recommend adding a finish with maaaybe a whistle on top to epically start the solo. Which I still think you should map a bit of.
- You might want to map each of the 'WAKING UP' refrains differently (02:07:740, 03:16:647). People might not like the repetitiveness at these points and it would be nice if you did something subtly different like different, nice slider shapes.
BounceBabe's Hard:- I find it odd that there's significantly more 1/4 in this difficulty than there is in the harder difficulty of the mapset. Especially since the 1/4 seems to be
mostly random with no calling in the music.
00:34:459 (6,7,8,9) - This spacing is strange compared to previously in the combo, and looks like it should be spaced like 1/4s. I recommend you space this similarly to the rest of the combo, personally.
01:43:647 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This whole combo is some of the most confusing spacing I've seen in a recent beatmap, I'm afraid. I'd appreciate it if you made this more consistent and readable, as nothing seems to call for this jumpy spacing.
- These were the major problems that stuck out at me. I could nitpick this more, but your reaction to Aleks discourages me
. I'm not sure I like the sudden 1/2 overlaps, but they could work almost like stacks. Good work!
Normal:- Going 'backwards' in a pattern (e.g. 00:23:772 (1), 01:03:522 (5)) might be difficult to read for lower difficulty players and would be more appropiate more straightforward. It wouldn't be as bad if you got an Easy, though. <3.
00:43:647 (1) - An object 2/1 after a spinner at around this BPM on an easiest difficulty may be considered a bit difficult; many lower difficulty players might need more time to recover with some spinning styles. The same goes for 01:43:647 (1), 02:07:647 (1) and
03:16:647 (1), of course.
01:03:897 (6) - I think this would look nicer if it were a few grids down, so it forms a sort of more equal triangle with 01:02:772 (3,4), really.
01:52:647 (2,3) - Add whistles?
02:00:522 (8) - I really wouldn't recommend stacking under slider ends in a Normal or Easy; they can be very difficult to read. And bastards on Hidden, but that's irrelevant.
02:00:897 (9) - Add a finish on the end?
02:03:897 (6) - For a more equal combo, consider moving this a grid up.
You're showing some promise here. Good luck! And good song choice, by the way. And mapping.
