Released
An extremely important part of Newgrounds audio history that deserves to be in FFR alongside classics such as Infernoplex. Also I think it's a pretty cool easier file.

Release Notes: Not suitable as a tournament file due to short length, but feel free to do whatever else with it.

DEFCON ZERO 8.5/10

intro seems somewhat heavy towards 2 and 4. I'm good w/ this since it does allow for effective mirroring if the player finds this section the hardest part of the file
16.158 actually not really sure about dropping the minijacks for the section starting here. Just feels like an unexpected dip in intensity and a weird trough to have so early on (and in a short file) before the percussion really kicks in at 30.265. Personally I'd make some of the minijack patterns more gentle here (distribute more evenly across columns, no 1h transition like at 5.136) if you were worried about not letting this first 1/3 of the chart overwhelm the 'real' 2/3. Or just dumb down the stuff before this point a bit more and copy what you have there to here.
42.609 hype (that OHT at the end is kind of rude though do have another OHT on the other hand later on so it washes out bias-wise)
44.813 for PR reasons prefer to move this off [23] (implying that it's the same sound as the 4th right before)
55.394, 60.684 for the same reason as ^ would prefer this as [13]...this only really matters when the notes are super close by which these two instances are imo
Not much else to say, very nice easy file. Short, sweet, hype song, solid chart with a few spicy things here and there for good measure, nothing else needed.

Yeah the dip in intensity when the minijacks stop is something I was worried about, agree it feels wrong. But minijacks the whole way is also extremely boring. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you for the PR and pattern notes.
