Hey @makecode321, welcome to the Forums!  
I dont think games can expand from the runtime RAM, if thats what you’re asking. I think @WoofWoof, our makecode scientist can answer that!

What I would do is maybe find some way to optimize what you’re already doing  
If you could share some code, I would be happy to point out potential optimizations!

I would look at the specifications of other makecode arcade compatible devices to get an idea for how much ram you need. For a very large game, you’ll want something like the Adafruit Pygamer, and for lower sized games the Meowbit.
