* All sprites in ''VideoGame/IttleDew'' and ''VideoGame/IttleDew2''.

Line boil is the wobble of hand-drawn lines, particularly noticeable when characters are redrawn in every frame even though they are standing still. Early 20th century animators [[https://web.archive.org/web/20080620160136/http://www.animationpost.co.uk/notes2/wobble.htm considered line boil an imperfection]] that should be minimized. LimitedAnimation deals with line boil by using the same drawing for parts of the character that aren't moving and only re-drawing the parts that move, though this may make the immobile parts seem frozen in place, a problem that occurs in computer animation as well. To avoid this "freezing" effect, line boil and other types of wobbling and jittering are sometimes purposely used and even exaggerated.

* Every moving sprite in ''VideoGame/BabaIsYou'', including the text.

* The ''WesternAnimation/HenryHugglemonster'' episode "The Mighty Heromonsters" uses this during scenes in Henry's comic book. This is taken UpToEleven with the background as well.

* The "Hector & Kovich" segments of ''WebAnimation/TwoMoreEggs'' are animated this way, as part of an effort to give each sub-series its own style.

* All the character portraits in ''VisualNovel/HotelDuskRoom215'' and ''VisualNovel/LastWindow''. It was even used in Kyle's trophy for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' uses line boil in character portraits, enemy battle sprites, and a few cutscenes. It contrasts with the crisp, pixelly {{Retreaux}} look of the overworld sprites.

* The 1974 British cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Roobarb}}'' and its second season/sequel, ''Roobarb and Custard Too'', upon where everything including the coloring wobbled.
