This is 27 frames, 20 K
If I'd made it 223 frames long it would be 168K.

Try copy and pasting the dots from one frame into all the others so they don't change.

When you're doing a gif in photoshop it generally depends on the number of layers used/how much of the screen actually physically changes.
So if you've just got 1 black background layer with the dotted line down the middle, and some layers of the paddles in 6 or so positions down the side, then you can make new frames using the existing layers in different configurations, saving loads of space.



These are just over 10K each and they had about 100-150 frames in and a fair amount of layers. It's all being economical with what you use.
