About This Game

Brainfuck is a minimalist but Turing-complete programming language, known for its extreme simplicity—and its extreme difficulty to read.

This game is a tribute to the esolang spirit. It provides:

  • An interactive tutorial for learning the Brainfuck language from scratch.

  • A collection of puzzle challenges designed to push your logic and creativity.

  • The ability to run your Brainfuck code in an external terminal, turning your solutions into real, visible output.

Whether you're a veteran coder or just someone curious about programming oddities, this game invites you to dive deep into one of the weirdest languages ever invented—through a clean, focused, and satisfying puzzle experience.

Minimalist interface. Maximal brain damage.

I made this game because I love the Brainfuck language, and I wanted to share it in the most enjoyable way I could think of.
