✦ AI summary

MainFrames is a unique puzzle-platformer with creative mechanics like controlling multiple characters and manipulating windows, praised for its balanced difficulty and charming length of 3-6 hours. However, some players feel the window interaction mechanics could have been more developed beyond basic tab-switching, and many find the in-game assistant annoying and wish for a toggle option. Players generally recommend it as a worthwhile purchase, particularly when discounted.

While I liked the concept, the execution was a bit lacking. Most of the interaction with the windows was clicking to change the tab or active window. Sometimes, you could move them. Thats pretty much it, the rest is standard platformer stuff (i.e. changing gravity, boost pads, etc.). Moving the windows was nice. In one of the bonus levels you move the platform while standing, then jump, move it while midair, and land again, which was fun. I would have loved to see more unique interactions with the system. But my biggest problem was the developers aversion to difficulty. Many of the levels have an intended easy path, and a "fake" hard path. Imagine a column upwards where you can get inside and climb up with some obstacles in the middle. You could also just scale the column from the outside. This is, in my opinion, just plain stupid. It takes time for an essentially trivial level. And when you *dare* try to make it interesting yourself by taking the hard path on purpose, you get the most annoying forced cutscene with an NPC which essentially says "Hey idiot, there's an easy path, go do that one :)". This not only feels condescending, but you also loose control during it…

Please add an option to disable the assistant. It's as annoying as those modern day companion characters in AAA games that tell you the solution to puzzles. I wanna solve puzzles in my puzzle platformer damnit

Fun, unique and quite easy puzzle-platformer. Can be finished in about 3-4h, or around 6h if you are going for 100% on every chapter. I got it during summer sale at -70% and it's definitely worth that price.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
