Why Crash BASIC Exists
A language built on passion, not profit
Built for Exploration
Press F1 on any keyword to see what it does. We encourage discovery.
No tutorials required. Just start typing, experiment, and let curiosity guide you. The best way to learn is to play.
Born from Nostalgia
Remember that feeling? Typing your first program and watching something happen on screen?
That magic moment of creation. That sense of wonder. Crash BASIC is built to bring that feeling back.
Chaos (but good chaos...)
We iterate quickly. Much like our mascot Crash-tan, we break a few eggs to get to the good results.
New features are born from need, driven by actual game projects. They ship fast, rough edges get smoothed over time. Progress over perfection.
Free Forever
The Crash BASIC IDE is free. Always will be. Your creativity shouldn't have a paywall.
Crash BASIC Arcade has a free tier for sharing your games, with paid options for larger projects. That's how we keep the lights on while keeping the tools free.
Future First
The goal: become the best indie BASIC game development platform ever created.
We're not there yet, but every update moves us closer. The future is bright, and we're building it one feature at a time.
A Movement, Not a Product
Crash BASIC isn't just software. It's a community of creators who believe coding should be fun.
Join us. Make something. Share it. Inspire someone else to do the same.
