Now ive made my first (very) small game. Take a thing to a goal. It cant get more simple. But the size of the gaame is already 1mb! Is there anything you can do to shrink the size of your games because bigger games will have a very large size.

A game with nothing in it exports to 912 KB (934,625 bytes).

As a normal zip - 453 KB (464,423 bytes).

This is the base size because it contains all the stuff needed to make the game run.

From my experience, bigger games will only increase the game size slightly.

Try using an exe packer like upx.sourceforge.net if you want it to always be smaller. UPX is free.

Or .. I use Mole Box to pack all data into one exe and compress the file too. Can find that at http://www.molebox.com. Molebox is not free.
