The block limit has been raised from 10k to 20k, and that's cool and all, but a raise to art limit would be ever cooler!
There was already a thread on this:

The TL;DR to peeps that don't wanna read that whole thread:
- If you add too much art in level editor, art will turn pixelated
- Adding even more art afterwards can cause the effect to happen multiple times and art becomes more and more pixelated every time. Every next instance happens sooner and with less art additions
- After enough cycles of art pixelation, some areas or art start to outright disappear (refuse to load in)
- The effect seems to only happen when art is added on unpainted areas. Re-painting over already painted areas don't seem to effect it, that just adds more load time. (It could still lead to the same effect if repeated enough though, but I haven't investigated that scenario)
- After reaching pixelation in level editor, the pixelation will also apply on any other levels that are loaded in afterwards. It can be reset by creating a new level by clicking "New" or leaving and re-entering the level editor
Example:
"IWBTG Crit" by Vasalemma
"IWBTG Broke" by Vasalemma
Both levels are on page 2, the pass to both is "bls". Crit is a critical state level where art is almost at the "maxed out" state, and Broke is in the pixelated form after just a slight addition of art onto Crit (look at red arrows at start. You can also see slight art reset while it's loading at the end, but you can see that better in further cycles of the pixelation where it takes more time to load in the pixelation, sometimes even through multiple resets).
My hypothesis is that something related to some internal memory factor is causing it. If this can be expanded (at least by 4x) or even fixed(?), that would be really cool and would help a lot.
