Was enjoying the game, but then it soft locked when talking to the penguin and I lost all of my progress.
Mega adorable and underrated game. For everyone who loves to play Super Meat Boy, Celeste, and Super Mario, go and grab this game! It's a love letter to all of these games! + Runs Perfect on Steamdeck and CachyOS
You can tell the devs had a lot of fun making this game. MainFrames is a lovely little platformer with a fun mechanical gimmick every level. Likely taking some inspiration from Celeste, this game scratched a platforming itch for me that was fun throughout my playtime. The sprite work and colors are so good, and the gameplay speaks for itself. The new mechanics in each level don't overstay their welcome, and give some good variety, never feeling stale or repetitive. :) The only complaint I would raise is that it is far too short! I got a heavy feeling that the devs rushed the final couple of levels, and could have pumped more content and puzzles into these last levels if given time. That being said, this game is perfect for a complete playthrough in 1-2 evenings. While I wouldn't recommend this game for its story, the story present is simple and cute, especially during the conclusion, and the completion grind felt pretty satisfying... 10/10
level 4 and each level brings something new and creative its actually crazy good. Should of exploded in the Fez community Great game! it's perfect puzzle platformer that is quick and fun not a slow puzzle game but a fast one.
Хорошая короткая инди-игра про похождение маленькой дискеты в локальной сети. Немного есть проблемы с пониманием размеров игрового персонажа, что мешает проходить без повреждений (смертей), но в остальном игра отличная. Подарит несколько часов хорошего времяпрепровождения! P.S. на Steam Deck играется отлично!
Pretty solid! Took about 5-6 hours to finish the story for the first time. Definitely feels like Celeste, tho this feels a lot more forgiving compared to Celeste in my opinion. If you like sidescroll platformers with unique mechanics, but would like a less stress inducing feel to it. This is definitely the game.
Non mi è piaciuto.
Great short little platformer.
Jogo com ótimo design e boa criatividade
It's simple fun as it has quite a few neat ideas and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Pick it up on sale!
