Very impressive for a weeklong game jam! The game includes a tutorial, and the controls were easy to use. The game appeared visually cohesive with a clear objective.

To improve, I’d really like to, as it is a lot to remember at once at the start. Additionally, making enemies that have been hit (especially the turrets) flash red could be really beneficial for player feedback.

This is a great submission and definitely should be considered to be taken further!

Enjoyed the concept of MAINFRAME, I found it quite difficult but I might just not be good at it :D  The theme is pretty solid, and if you continue working on the game, I'd love to see a focus on narrative, the environment is begging for a cool little story. Love the phase shift mechanic also!
