- Permissions, sync, metadata good.

- 10.018: Sufficiently different sound from previous jump that having them be identical feels wrong.
- 38.773, 47.413, 49.573, etc.: Missing minijack.
** 42.958-45.388, 51.598-54.028, etc.: These need to be toned down. In addition to being denser than the jumpstream, these often force extremely heavy one-handed patterns with minijacks. This, for instance, is a massive ouch: https://i.imgur.com/BacyCU5.png (at 43.903)
- 66.313, 70.633, etc.: I get this minijack, but personally feel including it detracts from the theme of using the theme of using minijacks for the high-pitched beeps in the rest of the section. 66.988 is fine because it goes to the beeps.
- 74.076: You generally avoid these same-column collisions coming out of minijacks in this section.

- 79.048, etc.: Technically these are 24ths, not 30ths--there are 5 notes between the two 12ths (inclusive), not 6. Due to chiptune stuff the first 4 are actually very fast triplets, so you could make an argument that it's faster because of that. However...
** The 30th bursts are pretty problematic at times. The bursts into hands are extremely aggressive at that speed (417bpm stream bursts into hands, mixed into a constant 250bpm stream), as are the rushes of multiple consecutive 30th bursts, each of which starts and ends with a jump (at 86.608-87.508, etc.) In both cases it's the use of jumps and hands which causes problems, so I see two main options for fixing it:
1) Uniformly reduce 30ths to 24ths. This is more technically correct and allows you to keep your layering, but requires more playing with patterning in the less dense sections to ensure the 24ths still stand out.
2) Keep the 30ths and sacrifice jump/hand density. The bursts will feel meatier but the percussion will perhaps go underemphasized.
Either of these are acceptable, but something does have to change here.
- 30th bursts (or 24th, as it may be) which begin with hands also seem to be consistently missing, e.g. 80.488, 82.648, etc.

- The ending 16th jumpstreams are a repeat in structure of the earlier ones and the same notes apply.

- 130.168: I get this is meant to be climax theory, but the switch from dense jumpstream to minijacks feels very arbitrary here.

~~

Structurally this chart is cool (the song is pretty rhythmically cool too), and I always appreciate a good stream-burst file, though I feel a couple sections of this are quite overcooked. Watch out for one-handed patterns in the dense minijack sections (you may end up having to tone the layering down there) and resolve the issues with the 30ths and I'd say you're good. The changes required are unfortunately a bit much for an FR to cover but I definitely hope to see you resubmit this with fixes. [6/10]
