The files are packed and compressed.

These two files you attached contain hundreds of chunks, with each chunk containing a compressed TIM.

The compression is LZSS 
This LZSS variant is unique in that it uses 8-bit values for both the length (len) and the displacement (disp).

I've attached a simple script to unpack the .bin files, as well as a tool to decompress and compress the LZSS format used in this "game".
