Here's what I have so far. Not really turning out as good as March Madness so far, but who knows how things will look at the end of the month. Maybe I'm subconsciously aiming for bad ideas this time around.

×July 3: Bad room in the Entrance that you have to beat to get anywhere but you basically win automatically if you make almost any set of moves that doesn't kill you; less-bad room in 1N but still nothing too great; tedious-but-beatable room in 1W.
July 8: More bad rooms, plus I've locked a bunch of them behind green gates? I seem to have decided to just straight-out go for bad ideas this time around. New rooms in 1E, 1S, 2E, 1N1E, 1N1W.
July 14: New rooms this time are in 1S1W, 1S1E, 1S2E, 1S3E, 2S2E, and 2S1W. 1S1E ended up as another variant of a room that shows up three times in March Madness and might actually rise above the low standards I've been demonstrating so far. 1S3E and 2S2E do not have actual decorative walls yet because I want to leave my options open for branching off from them.
July 30: Well. It's done and it is awful. Not only are many of the rooms utter disasters, but the hold is needlessly complicated to navigate. I'm pretty sure you have to beat all the rooms to get to the southeast corner but I haven't actually checked. And the puff escort horde room in the southwest corner is just the worst idea I have ever conceived of, and my punishment for creating it is going through it myself to determine that it is, in fact, solvable. Somehow.
This was fun to make, but I don't think I'm going to inflict the result on an unsuspecting populace. There are magic move sequences and sloggy rooms everywhere. A couple of them are okay or at least have an idea that might work in a better room, but the vast majority are simply the product of indifference to a good play experience.
I can confidently attest to this because I played through them. Well, I forget if I fully completed the northwest room after thinning the construct horde or just reasoned that it would be small enough to be manageable.
I would not recommend playing this monstrosity unless you want to suffer, possibly while recording your suffering for the amusement of others.
