Hello! I'm glad you've been enjoying playing the Hunger Games. :) Have you managed to become victor yet? Others have suggested having a larger arena too, which shows there's merit to that idea.

I've added to what will be the next version of the game the ability for the arena to be different sizes. (I'm thinking of treating it like selecting which Tribute to play, where you can pick a specific arena size, or have the size chosen randomly.) In the current version the arena is hardcoded to 100x100 squares. You can make the arena as small as 50x50 squares (1/4 the current size, which is so small the forcefield is right behind the launch platforms).

I've also experimented with making the arena as large as 4000x4000 squares (1600 times the current area!) Assuming each square is 5 feet, a 50x50 arena is only 250 feet across or about the area of a football field. A 4000x4000 arena is nearly 4 miles across and covers over 14 square miles! That's close to the actual arena in the 74th Hunger Games, in that it can take hours to walk from one side to the other. It can also fit movie quotes like: "Sir, she is almost at the edge, two kilometers away from the nearest tribute." :)
