The gameplay of "Binaries" is praised for its innovative core mechanic of controlling two units simultaneously, which is complemented by a well-paced introduction of new elements and a variety of levels. While the game features engaging graphics and a captivating soundtrack, some players felt that the platforming style may not fully align with the puzzle genre. Overall, it is recognized as a tightly focused title with a unique approach that encourages mastery and offers a blend of humor and challenge.
- “New elements to the gameplay are introduced at a rate that feels just about perfect, not giving the player too much too soon, while also not overusing the same puzzle element too much.”
- “Ant Workshop have created a tightly focused title with a clear ethos and a truly original game mechanic.”
- “[Mind-bending stages with platforming gameplay where you control two things at once, pretty cool soundtrack, loads of levels to master.]”
- “While binaries has a lot of reasonably interesting elements outside of the level design, such as the colour palette and animations (which certainly do work to the game's minimalistic style) and the humour and meta commentary (which often does not), the core mechanic and the levels built around it are the main thrust of the game, and in that regard, binaries is pure excellent genius.”
- “Even then, with open-worldness and solid game mechanics, you really can't go wrong with this one.”
- “Funnier than the developer thinks and the music is quite chill and hectic depending on gameplay.”

- “The music is really amazing, the gameplay is pretty good, and the graphics are impressive too!”
- “The aesthetics are quite appealing.”
- “Do not mistake the primitive graphics or simple game design for an easy game.”
- “[Frustration factor is through the roof; some stages require too much precision, visuals don't feature enough variety, lack of extra modes and leaderboards]”
