Console CreaturesDavid PietrangeloMar 202510/10MainFrames is a quirky, tightly packed precision platformer with a ton of personality and unique ideas. It's challenging and rewarding to create what could be one of the best byte-sized experiences of 2025.

Checkpoint GamingMar 20254.5/10MainFrames is a delight to look at, but less enjoyable to actually play. The charming and cute aesthetics can't save MainFrames from its simplistic gameplay which struggles to capitalise on its strong ideas.

Gamer EscapeMike ThomasMar 20255/10So it’s probably pretty weird that I am going to recommend this game with one big fat caveat. If you’re a fan of the genre, there are a lot of cool and original things happening in MainFrames. If you’re not already comfortable in the space it’s probably not going to work as shining introduction to the world of indie platformers.
