    Binaries tries to be two things, and misses the mark on both. As a puzzle game, it lacks any actual puzzle solving. As a platformer, it fails in its horribly floaty and imprecise controls, while asking for pixel perfect precision in two vastly different scenarios. In a binary world of 0’s and 1’s, good or bad, Binaries breaks its own boundaries by being incredibly middle of the road.

If that sounds something like you, or perhaps you enjoy endlessly attempting to shave milliseconds off your best course times, then you’re sure to get mileage out of Binaries. Just be sure to go in with your eyes wide open.… Full Review »
