Reverse slider

A reverse slider is a hit object in osu!, which acts exactly like a slider with the added benefit of reversing itself on completion. This is indicated in gameplay with a reverse arrow where the slidertail would otherwise be. Sliders can be reversed by clicking and dragging the slidertail in the timeline of the beatmap editor. This can be done multiple times to the same slider to create a slider with multiple reverses.
