Description
Tired of seeing the workshop filled to the brim with unfinished or untested levels? Want something that's actually fun to play? Look no further! This collection contains a curated list of levels that stand out from the rest, being engaging, entertaining, and (relatively) fair.

There's a L O T of levels on this list. Don't feel bad if yours isn't here! It's more than likely that we haven't gotten around to playing it; after all, there are over five hundred maps on the workshop to test. It takes a LOT of dedication to play them all and figure out which should go on this list, and as real human beings with other societal obligations, we don't always have the time to play each map coming out. Sorry!
