Is it morse code, no, there is no way to differentiate between where a character begins and ends, never mind we don't know what is short and what is long.
Maybe binary?

Just out of curiosity, why's it have to be a multiple of 8 (edit: jk I thought you were talking about morse code)? But yeah, regardless, for 5 characters and 30 'bloops' (some combination of 'beeps' and 'boops'), on average each character has to be 6 'bloops'. The longest chain of 'bloops' for one character/digit is 5. There'd be extra letters/words in there.

Because of how things are encoded in binary. A bit is a single digit and a byte is 8 bits. If it was binary each string of 8 characters could be decoded into a letter or number (or other symbol but we wouldn't expect that here).

Yeah I noticed it wasn't a multiple of 8, but regardless we don't know what would be a 0 and what would be a 1 so I put both possible choices below.

Well if binary it is either: 001111000000111000000111010001
or
110000111111000111111000101110

Going to assume that the use of only two different symbols (X and x) is for upper and lower case. So there is either no numbers, or numbers are sharing a symbol with upper or lower case letters, or upper and lower case are sharing a symbol and numbers have their own symbol.
Any chance of clues? Maybe change any numbers (if any) to hashes (#) as opposed to X or x?

nope. I'm beginning to feel slightly disappointed in steamgifts. I was hoping you guys would be better.
alas, I guess I'll have to give you a clue.
Tell me, have you ever heard of a fine young chap named "Polybius"? I heard he was quite interesting back in the day.

I've spent nearly an hour trying to crack this with no luck, grats to you ^__^
I'm just worried that (if I crack it) the giveaway will be for a game I already own D:

I am familiar with him and his square, though it is a 5*5 square.
I've been working under the assumption that we are dealing with a certain obscure "standard" here, possibly a number 3 or 4. Problem is that the internet is rather barren when it comes to information about this obscure standard, and I don't know it by heart. Though one part messes with it, and that is a single character-type line (either 111111 or 000000) which probably means that I'm working under an incorrect assumption.
edit This is a bit on the frustrating side ;) I have an idea, but I just can't find the information needed to solve it, everything is focused on number 2 :(

You misunderstood me ;) There are several different standards, ranging from 1-5 and some that have other names, where 2 being the most common when not dealing with computers, and 3-4 being quite obscure. 2 has a character length of 5, which obviously don't work with this one.

Trying to remain somewhat cryptic - I couldn't find a normalized numerical square... did you just make your own assuming it had to remain square? and/or how large did you make it? Heh.
This is the first puzzle I've seen that actually amused me on here. Good times.

Thanks for sharing. Now I at least know I'm way out of my depth and should just give up now.
