Game description

Binary Land is a puzzle game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In it players take simultaneous control of a couple of penguins (which move like a mirror), Gurin and Malon, who must meet at the goal of each level.

On the way they will face hazards such as spider webs, the spiders itself (which players can defeat with the only weapon available in the game, a can of insecticide), an annoying bird that swaps the location of the characters and a flame.

As usual in early games for this system, the game features addictive gameplay and simple graphics, with single-screen scenarios that basically use the same assets with a color swap.

As is also usual, the game has no proper ending, restarting when the player reaches level 99.
