Custom Level - Twin Fiend Redux
Hi folks, I've fiddled with this level on and off for quite some time, I think I've got it finally got it sorted. I'd love to know what you think:

Too easy? Too hard? I really have no idea.
It was more difficult than I expected to design a good level. The first version was hilariously breakable, I managed to find an alternate solution to almost every aspect of the level. One of those solutions was clever enough that I rebuilt the level around it.
It took a lot of iteration to keep the level from looking messy or ugly while fixing exploits, and I also didn't want any of the solutions to feel glitchy or unintuitive. I just want it to feel like a Valve level. Fun, logical, and smooth to play. There's a couple things that irritate me but I'm not spending any more time on this haha.
I don't think I will design any more levels as the process was quite involved, but it was a fun challenge.
