Compressing files to to make iOS app smaller

I recently completed a game that I uploaded to iTunes connect. It's currently in the app store but is a whopping 264mb. I didn't even realize how big it was until trying to download it on a device. I take it this is too large to be a successful app but there really weren't any more pictures than any other normal iOS game app, probably less.

If I want to go about compressing them, what's the easiest way? Should I upload them one by one to Gimp or something of the sort or is there some sort of automatic file compressor for iOS apps? I know it's out on a limb but obviously would save a lot of time.

Also, once that's done where can I check the size of the app?

Thanks for the help.

You can use tools like ImageOptim to batch compress all your images without loosing quality: https://imageoptim.com
