I'm testing two things in this level - One, playing with the Inventory, and Two, a new workshop thumbnail design.
No, I'm not submitting this for the contest. As its host, that would be unfair, would it not?
I'll still grade it as if it were in the contest just for fun, but I'm not taking someone else's spotlight.

Even though I've had access to the Inventory for quite some time now, figuring out how to make a fun level with it was difficult. Despite this, I did some theorizing about what would and wouldn't be fun to play. You can see that in this article.
One thing I theorized was that a level with none of the junctions built would be more frustrating than fun, as you would need to spend so much time setting up the level and getting no reaction on the tracks you've laid until much later into the level... but there was an exception. If the level was small enough, it wouldn't be a problem, since it would be so short that if you messed up, resetting wouldn't be as frustrating since you would hardly lose any time.

So, here's that theory in practice! You don't build literally everything, but everything outside of the mainline is stuff you gotta connect to. There's also some clever tricks, but I don't wanna spoil those...


Anyways, thumbnail! Is this new styling any good? Do you like the informational panel to help tell you what the level is like? This is a bit of an experiment, so let me know if it's any good!
