Hello, is there any possibility for there to be smaller accepted dimensions for game battle art format? Right now the accepted ones are 600px, 800 px and 1200px. I ask this because i made a gif for Future Battles IV, with 200px square dimension and Super Mario World theme, and i cant submit because i need to scale it up to 600px, making it way too heavy to submit. Since SMW is ""pixel"", couldnt this allow lower accepted dimensions?

the format description could probably use an update

my guess is making the pixels (2x or 3x) bigger would enlarge the final image file only a bit, and a lot of folks like to see pixels big and square

Here's an example: https://battleofthebits.com/arena/Entry/The+birth+of+teh+WILDCHIP/24581/

filesize limitations on battle cover arts exist because a big one can slow down the site's load times

I would like to take this opportunity to shame Mozzarella for allowing Gurgle to show them up with early support for “image-rendering: pixelated”. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mozzarella for adding the support eventually and also for being the ultimate form of cheese. Disagree? Fight me in the comments.
