Fluttabyes

[b]fluttabyes[/b] is a butterfly-based match-4, kinda similar to one of the game modes in [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/78000/]bejeweled 3[/url]. not sure why the pdf manual was a, necessary and b, not included in the install folder, but it's accessible from the store page or your library. also as an [b]optional tutorial[/b] in the game, they're one and the same. it's [b]timed score attack[/b], there's a dandelion serving as a timer. [b]2 game modes[/b], [u]survival[/u] is survival, [u]endless[/u] is endless, without a clock, so it's entirely pointless and ends when you forfeit. [b]online leaderboards[/b] are kept for both modes. instead of swiping or chaining or whatever, [b]you're placing and replacing butterflies yourself[/b], a yellow with an orange, for instance. upcoming ones are on the side, combos for matching more than 4, swiftness and cascades, some of them extend the timer as well. line up 4 ladybugs for a mega match, more are even better. there's also an elusive rainbow butterfly, I assume it's a joker kinda deal. the presentation is fine, but resolution options are the annoying 'left/right one by one' variety instead of a simple pull-down lis…

A nice match 4 game with a bit different match mechanic than usual. It has 2 different game modes - survival and endless.

Bare bones match-4 game with a timer or endless mode. There is no story and no progression, just match and try to get a higher score than previously.

[h3] STORY [/h3] There is no story, background, or setup to the game. [h3] GAMEPLAY[/h3] The core game mechanic is to match 4 of the same color butterfly together and possibly get chains to follow from subsequent butterfly combos. [h3] PLAYTIME [/h3] The game is not complicated as a base game. The complexity will come when you start grinding or getting specific achievements. Play time for this game is ~2-3 hours to complete all achievements, at which time you probably could consider the game beaten. [h3] COMPLAINTS [/h3] The game is dated and will look grainy on a large monitor when on full screen. [h3] REPLAYABILITY [/h3] The game has little replayability, and the only real re…

Cheap, simple but a delightful little match 4 game with butterflies as the "gems". You take butterfly from an endless stream of volunteers to create as long a match as possible starting with a minimum of 4. Enjoy a relaxing time in endless mode or a more frantic against the clock (dandelion) mode in survival. There are a bunch of steam achievements up for grabs as you release these colourful critters to freedom from the square "spider web " grid structure. Its quite a challenge to get these achievements after the first 15 or so, and an even greater challenge in the endless mode to beat the high scores already recorded on the online leader boards. While it doesn't claim to be difficult to play obviously the combined mechanics of matching and the forced next piece, make it slightly harder game than a straightforward match 3 but as a simple time waster it does what it says on the box.

It's nice relaxing game for any age. I like the survival mode the best! Makes me think quicker!
