Binary Boy is a freeware platformer made in March 2013 by Jared Johnson of the [[http://www.data-fi.org/underconstruction/ Data Fidelity]] website and can be played or downloaded there. Unlike most other games of this genre, the PlayerCharacter is unable to jump and is limited to moving on the single path made for him: however, he is able to go below the path and the gameplay revolves around bypassing the enemies and obstacles through changing the player orientation in time. It has the standard retro visuals and soundtrack associated with many indie games.

!! Provides examples of the following tropes:
* BackgroundBoss: The pirate skeleton stays in the background for the duration of the fight, and its cannonballs begin in the background before becoming physical objects. Likewise, the Kraken in the next level is entirely in the background.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Neither the player character nor the other couple of humanoids you meet in the final space level have any issues with being in space with no protective gear. Especially weird given that the Boy does get a scuba mask if he’s travelling underwater.
* CheckpointStarvation: Averted in the extreme. The checkpoints are placed after every obstacle in your way. However, the entire game needs to be finished in one sitting.
* CreatorCameo: The devil-like guy in the final, space level is Jared Jonhson himself.
* CollisionDamage: Oh, yes.
* LimitBreak: The pirate skeleton fires more and more cannonballs each time you successfully deflect one into the ship, getting into outright BulletHell category by the end of the game.
* LudicrousGibs: Averted; when the Boy dies, he is swept from the screen much like a falling leaf and reappears at the previous checkpoint in the same manner.
* NoPlotNoProblem: The game has no plot whatsoever.
* OneHitpointWonder: The protagonist is this, easily killed by just about anything. However, this is compensated with the checkpoints being placed after nearly every obstacle.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: You have bright-red, headless bodies in here, which will often drip blood downwards. Said blood is just as lethal as a physical collision.
* TacticalSuicideBoss: The Alien Robot at the end of the second level would have been invulnerable if he didn’t feel the need to turn backwards and shoot at his own ship, which seems to contain its central AI.
