First off on Normal (Nx4)
- For your rollers try changing your roller type. (In top of the edit window, you will see "|File|Edit|View|Options|Timing|Web|Help|" You can go into options and the first thing you should see is slider curve type. Experiment with these until you find one that suits you and your beatmap!) They should be able to swerve without catching someones eye so easily. But notice you'll have to select each one and change it.
- Some hitsounds maybe? Never forget that you can always ADD hitsounds where the song does actually use them, sometimes clap sounds good even when there isn't a clap in the song. Same goes for finish and whistle, don't forget to use hitsounds.
- Spinners? Clearly you have blank areas left for what you're going to figure out next/later. There are some parts that never seem to work with anything, try a spinner! I used to joke around before I beat mapped, "a spinner is a beatmapper's easy way out." It would seem that it could be so, and make sure to make use of break times too, no one likes a beat map that runs on for hours and hours without any breaks.
--Tip: For the empty spots, try running through a couple times and just click the beat you think would work in one spot, rearrange it later.--
And on to Hard (Hx5)
- Again hitsounds, don't forget finish can be used more than just at the end, just don't over do it. --Note: Don't forget about custom hitsounds, ask some friends (*coughmecough*) if they could do any, they help your chances of getting accepted even if you only use it once such as at the beginning, end, or an odd change in the song.--
- You need a few spinners if you can, your beat map is clearly a challenge but spinners decide the difference between pros, and suber uber haxorz. :3
- I noticed that you have a lot of super clicks where you'd end up left right clicking to get them all, it's ok for them to be stacked but ever think of unstacking one or two and making a simple square or something? (hint hint.
)
---Personal Mark?---
I have always been a fan of putting your own personal mark in a song and there is a number of ways. One way is having a set skin with your song and having one of the things include your symbol. Other times you can make it with rollers or normal circles. This is never required and it never really does anything but it just reminds people who made it. (My symbol is a roller S starting at the bottom. :3)
