How Hard is Tidal Wave's First Drop (Geometry Dash)

Ok, this took 3 hours. It isn't just a layout, I had to place each slope individually, right where the spike and slope hitboxes originally were in the level. The difficultly of this part is very deceiving since it has to many spikes and saws, which makes it look like a less tight gap that slopes would make it look like.

[@IsntPhoenix]

If u wanna play the level, search "how hard is tidal wa" on GD Sorry if the hitboxes are a bit inaccurate since the player has different hitboxes for spikes and blocks/slopes, I tried my best. Should I do this for another top level? (Edit: just posted avernus video) Also, loooool i didnt know nickxd made these videos first, thought it was an original concept.
