Uncover Your Origins in MainFrames
Publisher The Arcade Crew and developer Assoupi have launched MainFrames, a fast-paced platformer with light puzzle elements, now available on PC and Nintendo Switch. This unique adventure unfolds entirely on a desktop monitor’s screen, where players guide Floppy, a sentient program on a journey of self-discovery. Until March 12, MainFrames is available at a 25% discount off its $12.99/€12.99 price.
MainFrames turns desktop navigation into a puzzle-filled adventure. Players hop between program windows, click and drag icons to reshape the world, and solve clever challenges. This ranges from logic-based puzzles to intense boss battles powered by the operating system itself. The game’s levels take inspiration from classic PC wallpapers, creating pixel-perfect environments like desktop islands, cyber forests, and digital deserts.
The game follows Floppy’s quest to uncover their origins. Along the way, he meets a cast of quirky characters, each adding humor and personality to the network they inhabit. It strikes a balance between challenge and accessibility, offering creative level design that keeps players engaged without feeling overwhelmed. With its nostalgic aesthetic, inventive mechanics, and playful storytelling, MainFrames is a charming platforming adventure that feels as fresh as a newly installed OS.
