    Is there a way to allow more pixel particles on screen at the same time?
    Or is there way to call/return how pixel particles are alive at any given moment?

    I can spawn as many animated particles as I want until a crash, but can only get around 200 pixel particles before they refuse to spawn.

    Yeah this is unfortunately a hard limit in the code at the moment; if you bug me separately I can maybe include some config for it but you can also just manually construct them by setting the texture and a few other variables (lifetime, size/collides, rotation off, etc).

    Nice to see someone experimenting with these; particles are fun.

    Uh, I would hate to bug you, seeing how much you request not to be bugged. You should just do it now and put it in the next build. :O

    @joshua12131415 shhh

    We'll see, its not a 2 second change (current limit is just a hardcoded number in multiple spots) but i'll stick it on the list.
