Hi @bimey. Welcome to the Forum!

It’s more than 50,000 bytes too big, so there may not be a way to reduce the size enough. Your code is for Arcade. Are you using the micro:bit v2 with an arcade extension, like the[Retro Programming Arcade](https://shop.elecfreaks.com/products/micro-bit-retro-programming-arcade)?

I’m not sure anyone can really provide much help without more detail. You may want to post a share link (described [here](https://makecode.microbit.org/share)) so others can look at your code.

There may be a few options to reduce the size some:

- Adjust the code so it uses less space (restructure it to be more efficient).
- Simplify it by removing parts, either removing any “unused” parts and extensions, and/or simplifying music/graphics, and/or simplifying/removing parts of the game.

Hi @bsiever

Here is the link to my project:

Hi @bimey ,

It looks like that’s an “Arcade” product. You posted in the [micro:bit](https://microbit.org/) category of the forum. You might also want to post this request and the link to your project in the [Arcade](https://forum.makecode.com/c/share-your-arcade-projects-here) category.

You may want to try making a copy of it and removing a lot of the levels/assets/tiles, especially if there are any you know aren’t being used. They consume space and may be related to the space shortage (maybe). I don’t do a lot with Arcade, so I can’t provide much more guidance…but people who are active in the [Arcade](https://forum.makecode.com/c/share-your-arcade-projects-here) category may be able to help!

Hi All,

Is there any way to download the game or is it not possible? Here is the link to my game:
