1:47.128 - PR - suggest 1 2
1:48.563 - PR - this jack has the same pitch as 1:46.476, suggest moving it to 4 to match. Might then want to edit the jack at 1:50.781 away from 4 too
1:53.520 - piano minijack should start here instead of .650

1:56.911 - 2:13.607 - The instrument you’re following here feels fairly far in the background and I wasn’t sure what you were doing here at first.
-1:59.259 - not a jump
-2:02.520 - missing
-2:05.650 - (minor) suggest change to 3, compare 2:07.737

The chart is in kind of a weird place - the first half is pretty solid but the second half’s execution is somewhat confusing and needs polish. After some touch-ups this will be solid.

Rat Castle (Deamerai) [8/10]

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

1:04.436: Move to col 3, better PR and less left hand strain.

1:10.650: These 12ths feel weird during playthrough because the 16ths are so loud. Consider the following from 1:10.476 in 16ths+12ths polys: (13)13424(12) which keeps the 16ths minijacks and the downwards 12ths drums without being spiky. Same would apply to 1:18.824. In contrast, those at 1:27.346 for example are fine because they're more dominant.

1:15.042 & 1:23.389 & 1:31.737 & 2:05.128: 16ths here (maybe colored to white or something else even) would make these little pauses more engaging instead of being full stops.

1:39.824: No need to omit this 16th, it's quite silent around it so it's noticeable.

1:40.215: This jump gives the impression that the drums will still be layered in this section (they have been for almost all the chart), but then the whole section omits the drums. It's a justifiable and subjective decision, but it does feel slightly odd to play this break without them.

Really fun chart with cool motifs and rhythms. Great consistency all around. Layering is a bit confusing at times but is justifiable. Good stuff.

Tru:

2:02.520 - i don't hear anything here

Oppie:

1:10.650 - this seems like a good approach. i initially didn't want to do it since i wanted to mainly give attention to the drums and having there polys felt awkward.

1:39.824 - i'm not following this sound in this segment, so there's no point in adding it.
