I really loved playing MainFrames on the #SteamDeck, it's kinda one of my fav. games released in 2025 already! I hope Bit Esc will be kind of similar, as both games are about navigating a computer system and platforming around!

Also played Ringer, but it didn't had a save system: neither Controller support (so I used Steam Input for mouse input). An another game that Olexa played, needs more work but still good. I like how it's a marble game, I guess!

MainFrames – Un jeu de plateforme et de réflexion de la taille d’un octet qui se déroule dans le système d’exploitation d’un ordinateur, dans lequel vous devez aider Floppy à naviguer à travers le bureau et les fenêtres d’un moniteur PC.

Un jeu de plateformes aussi charmant qu’inventif qui vous permet de naviguer à travers le bureau et les fenêtres d’un moniteur PC.

I would recommend playing MainFrames, if you are like me: happy to see a game using computer systems as inspiration, like using windows for platforms and desktop shortcuts as keys.

It makes you think a bit outside the box!
Too bad the demo can't save progress at any level, most likely not a problem for the full release.

It's coming out in 2025, probably before Bit Esc releases!
