Is the level size fixed or can we make bigger levels?

an area is 8288 pixels in height (that's 259 tiles). I don't think there's a limit in length.

There is a horizontal length to levels, though I don't remember off hand what it is. As far as I am aware, no one has had problems with the level being too short.


You can, however, limit the distance of your areas by setting view boundaries using the orange arrows.

You can reach the top in a short time if you're at max zoom, but as for horizontal, I've actually spent quite a while finding the end on several occasions. Horizontally, it's massive.
