Press release:
PARIS (Dec. 5, 2024).
The Paris-based (France) indie games publisher The Arcade Crew and indie games developer Assoupi, are today super excited and happy to announce that their smart and fast-paced platformer “MainFrames“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop) on March 3rd, 2025.

From hopping between program windows on a computer monitor to rearranging desktop icons to discover routes forward, a torrent of new challenges and peculiar puzzles await in each of MainFrames’ levels – including boss fight-style creations controlled by the operating system itself. MainFrames’ desktop aesthetic offers a nostalgic nod to classic Windows wallpapers, offering familiar islands, mountains, forests, deserts and more to admire while navigating a digitized landscape.

MainFrames follows the adventure of Floppy, a computer program on a quest of self-discovery, driven to uncover their unknown origins and unlock their true function. Befriend the colorful characters running MainFrames’ network along the way, whose chipper humor will surely upload some laughter into your day. While challenging at times, MainFrames’ mischievous level design and welcoming world offers a fair platforming experience that won’t leave you feeling defragmented. Floppy’s journey is overclocked with charm and a ride you won’t want to miss.

For more information on MainFrames, create desktop shortcuts to Steam and set hotkeys to follow @TheArcadeCrew and @_assoupi on X.
