What Hacker News says
2 sourcesSwitching out of the "staticy" background for a plain gray reduced the payload size to ~20M, a savings of ~30Mb.
I know this might sound somewhat obvious in retrospect, but you could've retained something similar to the original background and reduced the size significantly by generating it at runtime --- the code to create a random-looking background may only be not more than a few dozen bytes, and can be the same for multiple resolutions.
For more examples of this technique, see demoscene productions --- the following video was generated by a binary of less than 4096 bytes:
