MainFrames Delivers Charming Visuals but Falls Short on Gameplay Depth

The 2D platformer impresses with its retro aesthetic and creative premise but struggles with repetitive mechanics and limited replayability.

MainFrames features a unique concept of navigating a dying computer as a sentient floppy disk named Floppy, paired with an engaging pixel art style.
The platformer introduces innovative mechanics like manipulating windows and environments, but these ideas feel underutilized and repetitive over the game's short runtime.
While the game includes enjoyable optional challenges like guiding collectible daemons, the main gameplay often lacks variety and momentum.
Critics noted technical issues such as minor bugs and the inability to replay levels, which limit the game's appeal for completionists and casual players alike.
Despite its flaws, the game’s smooth controls, vibrant chiptune soundtrack, and creative visuals make it a potential sleeper hit for fans of indie platformers.
