i just tried [Tranquil Chipmunk] and got an ending autofail, so i think it should have been disqualified. or does it work fine under certain circumstances?

Few good entries, it turned out better than I expected from the contest.


It will probably be between Somber Isis and Versatile Mallard, though. They're fantastic in their own way!

Played all of them, Tranquil Chipmunk, Versatile Mallard and Ferocious seal were my favorites.

Somber Ibis is my religion

i agree, too much was just generic samey BS
and when the song drops like a frickin meteor they just either slow down to a crawl or dont even care anymore and do the most uncreative thing ever and go "DEATHSTREAMS R HURD TO PLEY AND SUPR AWESOME HURR DURR"

I liked Tranquil Chipmunk since it kept structure in mind, unlike some of the other entries. There were a couple of sections that looked bland, but structurally, it looked nice. Also nice stop-sv sliders.

Versatile Malard had some cool ideas like 04:29:525 (1,1,1,1,1,1) and 02:20:296 (1,1,1,1,1).

The hitsounding in Uncouth Constrictor was way too overdone, and became unnecessarily distracting starting at 01:04:000 (1), especially in the kiais where the hitsounds completely lost relevance and didn't feel connected with the song.

Somber Ibis is an obvious win.

Astonished Cormorant ends earlier when played in a multiplayer room, lol'd.

Good job to all the mappers who have participated.

me pretty much,,,,
i did like the idea behind bold tiger's map however! :>

I played all of them, and i came to these three: Tranquil Chipmunk, Versatile Millard, and Courageous Badger.

I was wondering about this one as well.

Someone in multiplayer ed "the end" though. https://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/ss/7551792

I think that for the next time, it would probably good to add a rule that say that the map should be ed by the bot and with a decent difficulty o:

Considering only Auto has to it, then it technically isn't grounds for disqualification.

Has anyone else autofailed on Ferocious seal?

In of actually FCing a map, only a few out of 12 have done it.

[Somber Ibis] and [Forlorn Thrasher] are both fun to play and look pretty appealing to the eyes :3

Some other seem like spamming sliders and partly ignore the rhythm, imo. So I think the above 2 maps are my current favs.

I like Reverent Bison more not only it was qualified by 100% auto but also having good sliders! I know it's impossible to SS the ending but it's on the top of my voting list lol.

Destructive axolotl is very cool, it's my favorite entry.

Somber Ibis and Forlorn Thrasher are my favorite visually. Also really liked how Destructive axolotl played. But Somber Ibis unplayable for me, so only put a vote for Forlorn Thrasher and Destructive axolotl.

Tried playing [Tranquil Chipmunk], and I'd also like to confirm the entry was unable with the current design. The 2B usage of 01:42:153 (1,1,2,3) was the one causing such circumstance as I've observed. (The first slider does not display any hitburst when finished.) Multiplays somehow always display a scoreboard so guess that wouldn't really work imo.

1. The map itself must be able to be ed, with mods or otherwise. Maps which autofail (defined as immediately failing at the end of the map when played by Auto) will be immediately disqualified, no questions asked.

Although autofail is defined under "not failing when played by Auto", unfortunately I don't think [Tranquil Chipmunk] was a valid entry due it being techinically unable when played by human...

and so did this entry. 2B around 01:53:230 kinda made the entry technically unable.

Similarly to Evanscent, we can adjust the entries post-contest to ensure that they're at least barely playable. And when I say barely I mean like, vaguely in the human realm of possibility, not significantly altering more than 10-20s of gameplay tops.

Good to hear!

Autofailed at many maps at the end; dont know if they are able in another way, should have been disqualified if not

Somber Ibis can't be launched in Taiko, it seems like it's doing an endless loading.

Ya know,
why does Versatile Mallard have 12 to minus infinity BPM?

overall, most of these had some issues, but they were decent
no i'm not modding lol
here are my individual opinions for each map:
Bold Tiger and Ferocious Seal were the best out of these twelve, in my opinion.

all the 2b at 3:52:610 - 4:29:379 make me wonder if a human can even this map... even cookiezi wouldn't be able to this

I've already seen Doomsday and some guy on Reddit it. It isn't that difficult to as long as you have a decent understanding of 2B patterns.

Tbh, I could probably even that with enough tries.

you're right, i ed this with halftime

but my brain's dead now

After playing Destructive Axalot, a slider slide sound was stuck looping after I finished the song. Had to restart to make it go away.

All of the maps were pretty good, and I regret not have voted for Tranquility Chipmunk nevermind, but in my opinion the most game breaking one was Astonished Cormorant, with the HP bar missing, the not ing key presses, and the insta-fail on Auto at the middle of the map, also the colors fit pretty well (please don't kill me ;-;).
Also,

Here is the playlist,I hope that I can help all of you guys

I have this kind of weird problem with Somber Ibis

The broken sliders are really cool looking and i'd be more than happy to experiment with that gimmick Maybe even for future use but me and few of my friends ran into a problem that even before starting to experiment with the gimmick. This happens while playing, spectating, in editor (you name it) but all of the broken sliders... well they do not work at all as they were shown to work in the presentation, any other play, or even in videos where autobot completes the map https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIH5neFwjE

Few screenshots of the problem
The first slider animation effect https://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/ss/7613241
One of the ghost sliders https://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/ss/7613268
You know what part this is https://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/ss/7614436

Anyone else experiencing the same/anyone know a possible solution to the problem?

hmm.. looks cool

when will the results be out?
