Top Descriptors simple Accessible and straightforward map design. , streams Patterns requiring continuous movement and alternating, typically more than 9 notes. , clean Visually uncluttered and organised patterns, often involving few overlaps and equal visual spacing between objects. , bursts Patterns requiring continuous movement and alternating, typically 9 notes or less. , flow aim Patterns with fully continuous cursor movement, usually due to a combination of wide angles and little time between objects. , distance snapped Uses osu's in-built distance snap feature for most/all of the map. , spaced streams Streams with large spacing, typically ones where the notes don't overlap. , difficulty spike Contains a sudden and significant increase in challenge within the map's gameplay.
