> card mini-game that teaches binary operations https://esolangs.org/wiki/Lambda:_the_Gathering

That had nothing to do with binary, wasn't a mini-game and was generally "out there" in terms of complexity. Definitely a good tool to scare children away from programming.

I guess that depends on age.

I just linked it, because it's also a low-level computer science in a different sense.

Are you planning on working on the visuals at all? The graphics look nice, but the aesthetic seems off: the main character seems a little, well, out of place in some of the scenes. The concept is pretty cool though, and I can see myself picking the game up.

Yeah, we actually don't have a full-time artist yet, so there are quite a temporary pieces of art dropped in right now
