×Everything is visible and present, it's just up to the player to think about it the right way. There are also lots of visible hints; broken symmetry is a big hint for lots of DROD puzzles. And there's some fun manipulation once you see how to start.

Entrance: good introduction, not trivial.

1N: I actually found this really cool! It was definitely an "Ah!" moment, when I realized there was no way to survive any of the pressure plates if I pressed them myself. The manipulation was quite trivial though, but it's ok I guess.

1N1E: lovely room, I did not remember that eye/decoy/invisibility potion interaction, so it was cool rediscovering it, though I did use some trial and error here.

1E: probably my favourite room in the hold. Even though the main concept is intended, the way I did it was likely not intended. Super happy with my solution though. Also, parsing this room was amazing, it seemed impossible at first. By the way, what's the mirror for?

1S1E: also good room, though I only used 2 decoys, so unintended?

1S2E: the only room I did not like, but mainly because I hate puffs and these type of puzzles. Also, could not complete it.

1S: cool room. I thought that the rock golem was needed to press the plate for me, but I was wrong.

1W: I could not manage to solve it, not a fan of these type of trapdoor puzzles, but ok room I think.

2W: neat room! I think the point is to understand that some alcoves are not useful.

1N1W: hot tiles + tarstuff = love (for me). Easy and ok room.

1N2W: probably I did something unintended on the way back (time token solution). The nonsense you see at the beginning is because I was trying everything. Also, the decoy was pointless in the second solution.

×1N1E: Your solution is actually different from mine, but fine. Mine uses a trick at the end where a decoy actually steps on one of the plates while stabbing an eye. The turn processing works out so that if you wake an eye right after that, it still re-toggles the firetrap in time.

1E: Your solution of "pacing" to continually block the engineer is actually the intended one! If one tries to "just block the bridges", the engineer actually just keeps going back to the east bridge because that's the shorter path. The mirror isn't important in itself, just the fact that it forces the engineer to take a step forward before the room gets cleared, and can then move on after it is. The double-green-door setup is so that he can't go try to build the seeding beacon when the player re-enters the room post-clear, because that would be very annoying.

1S: It may surprise you that your solution is unintended; it isn't really supposed to be possible to block the wubbas once you're in the passage to the seeding beacon. I'll add some oremites to hopefully patch this.

1S1E: There really is an extra decoy, but your solution actually proves I didn't quite tune the room well enough. The big trick is supposed to be that it should be impossible to clean up the tar babies after just one trip through the passage, but you found a (obvious in hindsight) way to place the decoys that allows it to be possible. I'll have to think carefully if there's a way to actually prevent that.
EDIT: I think I found a way to fix it!

1N2W: You actually managed to do the "first step" in an unintended way. I'll replace the westmost firetrap with a proper door to fix that. More importantly, I just plain didn't have the intended constraints for the "second step". I think I've got a setup that should require what's supposed to be required now (it's tricky to balance with making the first step work properly!). The decoy definitely isn't supposed to be pointless, nor is it supposed to go on (36, 17), so I'm preventing that with a force arrow. 1E actually has a clue for how the decoy is useful here.

1S2E: Probably looks worse than it is. You basically just need to 'cut a diagonal' through the puff and it's relatively easy. "Reaching" out to the east of the seeding beacon would be pretty tricky; I don't actually know whether it's possible, hence it's only a potential challenge.

1W: Maybe this is the hardest room in the level? It's really more about roach manipulation than being a trapdoor puzzle, honestly. One hint I can give is that the tiles the roaches start on are very important to the solution.

×The main trick I was wanting to make sure was enforced in 1S1E is that you have to go through the "bridge" north of where the tar is twice in order to be able to clean up the tar babies at the end. Your old solution was able to go through only once, but I think that trick is now properly required.

As for 1N2W, I don't remember when I learned it (maybe one of Chaco's holds taught me?), but "potion/horn cancels timeclone recording" is something I tend to think of as a very basic building block for enforcing things in timeclone rooms.

Entrance: Nothing tough here, felt like a bit of a twist on the classic "kill serpent with goblin" setup. Not a bad start.

1N: Took me a bit, but after I noticed an eye was wakeable in the south, I started looking at the room as a whole and noticed where i could wake one. Things came together quickly after that.

1N1E: This was a bit of trial and error, and I lucked into the solution as I got four eyes moving at once while trying to figure out what my options were. Fun concept, though.

1E: Didn't seriously attempt this, I basically took one look at it and decided I wasn't in any state to process what was going on.

1S1E: I liked the concept here until it came time for cleanup. Due to the sister black door under the top token (consider putting it in a more visible place, it's a bit easy to overlook right now) I did not solve it; I think I have to set it up so that the babies don't get caught on a decoy, but I couldn't see any way to do that with one of the decoys being forced north. Probably just not awake enough to fully think this through.

1S: This was pretty simple, due to having very few moving parts, but it did take me a moment to figure out what I had to do. I liked it.

1W: Tried this for a bit, concluded I wasn't up for it at the moment.

2W: Only stared at this long enough to be utterly baffled.

1N1W: I found this very straightforward compared to other rooms here. Wondering if there's an idea here that isn't actually being enforced, or if it's just meant to be that easy.

1N2W: First pass was simple enough. I think I have the concept of the second pass down (use the tunnels to desync the timeclone from the recording), but I haven't actually run through it.

×One of the decoy potions is actually kind of useless, and just in the way.

×1N2W second pass: not too tough once I realized what was going on. Decoy blocks tunnel to desync, recording pass is pretty simple.

1E: Most of the difficulty was in just understanding what the point of everything in the room was, the actual execution was very simple once I did. Unless I'm not supposed to be able to get the timeclone to the point I did fast enough to block the engineer entirely, but I'm not sure a version of this room where I'm sending the timeclone around everywhere blindly in order to divert the engineer is more appealing. I guess if that's what you wanted to do, I can try it out.

1S2E: This would have earned the challenge if it was scripted. The setup phase is just waiting, I guess that's better than some kind of tedious task but it did make the room feel a little lacking. This was overall an easy room, but trying to manage the puffs to make a path was interesting when it took actual thought. It just didn't most of the time.
I feel like it would be better to either skip the widget and just start with the fluff in its final position, or design the room so you actually have to shape the fluff as it's growing for some reason. The latter is probably harder to do both from the designer and player standpoint, though. As it was, there were few real decisions here, though I did think the actual activity of the room was distinctive.

1S1E: The top tile of the bridge shouldn't be a black door or else you won't be able to get off it, but I think making the bottom tile black door would be fine.
The hint has not gotten me through it. Main issue is that it appears there's only one place I can put the gel which allows a decoy cutting it, but that leaves babies too far away from the arrow. I'm not sure what I'm overlooking.

Didn't attempt 1W or 2W again.

×1S1E: Saw what I was overlooking, namely that I didn't have to clear the tarstuff all in one trip. Easy once I realized that.

2W: Again, this was a matter of catching what I was overlooking. Just let the gentryii out, lead it to you, then get it trapped in a quadrant as you trap yourself in one. The decoy potion lets you get out of the trap, so that's the one you go for.

1W: On this attempt, I managed to get the two trapdoors near where the roaches start while getting one caught in the lower section, but then I couldn't do a second loop that kept the roach alive. I keep trying this when I'm not alert enough to actually analyze it, though.

×The trick was thinking about what final state would even be possible, and then I realized the significance of the open red doors. Then I was able to wrangle a route to take advantage of it.

×1E: The timeclone can just block the engineer indefinitely without doing anything special. I suspect this is unintended, but if it is intended it's way too simple. This could use a little work.

1S1E: Extend the open black door one tile south. I got stuck here for a while, but it was entirely due to flaws in my thinking, so I have no complaints about the puzzle.

1S2E: The setup for the fluff growth feels pointless compared to just having fluff be in the final state from the start. The room is a little on the easy side; I'd recommend toughening it up a bit if you can think of something, but the concept's interesting enough that I'm not going to complain if you don't.

×1E has a solution that isn't "blind", but being able to just completely block the engineer while standing still is definitely not intended. My leak fix is adding some bombs in the 22nd column in the timeclone's area so that its sword just can't be in those positions.

1S2E: I'll agree that the "real room" is after the puff grows and the mud mother dies; but that's kind of the point to some extent: Beethro declares the room "clear", but that's when the puzzle actually starts. There's just something I like about the shape of the puff being "naturally grown", and I didn't feel like "making the player wait" is a meaningful flaw when the ability to ctrl+wait exists and that "real start" is right at the end of a 30-turn cycle. Anyway, good job managing the could-be challenge; I'll script it in a bit later if I don't ultimately decide to change the room in some significant way.

1S1E: I wasn't paying enough attention when I wrote my earlier post; you're right in that having the door be north of the token would be a problem. I don't really like the door being only to the south aesthetically, but I guess I don't know what else I can do. I was under the impression that the symmetry, plus just the act of playing the room, made the single tile of black door pretty obvious anyway. But, I think I can swallow my OCD for the sake of clarity here. Anyway, glad you worked it out; it took me a few tries to properly enforce that idea of "pass through twice".

2W: Also an observation puzzle, with lots of red herrings. I don't mind such a thing being easy once you realize what you need.

1W: This room is partially "figuring out your goal", and then figuring out how to achieve it. One thing I find interesting is that you actually solved it slightly differently; I bring the western roach over to the eastern red door to temporarily stow it (and then bring it south, then to the west red door), while you found a place on the trapdoors to stow the east roach instead.
