Binaries – Fiendish Concentration Platformer Launches Today on Steam (Video)

Independent game developer, Ant Workshop, is excited to announce that their first major release, Binaries, is available now on PC and Mac. Binaries tests players’ reflexes to the limit; challenging them to simultaneously guide two characters through a series of hazardous levels packed with formidable obstacles.

Binaries is a concentration platformer with unique dual character control. Players must move two lovable balls at once through 101 brightly coloured challenges. Each little ball has its own set of obstacles to avoid, so players must pay close attention to which ball is heading into danger, as they guide our spherical heroes safely to their destination.

The first major release from Ant Workshop, a small independent game developer based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Binaries passed Steam Greenlight in December. The game features a non-linear map, so players can choose their own route through the game, and intense beat the clock levels to get their adrenaline pumping. With an adaptive music score which responds to a player’s gameplay, and hidden gags throughout; the colourful Binaries world is as charming and inviting as its puzzles are addictive and heart-pounding!

“I’m very happy that players will at last be able to get their hands on Binaries.” Said Tony Gowland, Developer and Founder, “it has been the result of a year’s collaboration with some very talented people, and watching YouTubers preview the game, and get hooked on its ‘one more go’ feeling, has been incredibly satisfying. I can’t wait to see what time records players are able to set”.
