I don't know how good your compression is or what would be gained by e.g.  
tar.xz or 7z compression. But when you send someone an ISO, and it's not  
meant to be burned on a CD or DVD, you convey an impression that it's  
uncompressed. Also, compressing the whole thing, instead of individual files,  
often results in better compression; that's why tar.gz is typically smaller  
than zip despite both of them using the DEFLATE algorithm.

But the really important thing here is you're just packing everything  
together in one archive. Wouldn't be a real problem if the download was  
small, but that isn't the case here. If this game were in the Debian repos,  
it would be composed of several packages: a package for the program, a  
package for the base data, and packages for extra data. That's the kind of  
thing you should do.
