Butterfly Brawl

Butterfly Brawl (stylized as BUTTERFLY BRAWL) is a Butterfly: Inchworm Animation II fighting game originally conceptualized and prototyped by Felixman128 in 2018, before the project fell on the wayside in 2021 before being picked up again by MattMovies599. BUTTERFLY BRAWL (1.0), the first version of the released game, released onto Game Builder Garage on 7/23/2021 by MattMovies599 to positive reception of the Butterfly community, especially Felixman128, who stated he was "proud of how the finished game turned out.".

Conception and Development
Some time in 2018, Felixman128 came up with the concept of a Super Smash Brothers-like game featuring the stars of Butterfly Animation. He followed it up with a post offering people to submit a spritesheet as an entry for their character to make it into the game. The idea of the game became popular within the community, however, due to inexperience and lack of time, an original Butterfly Brawl never surfaced. Rather, Felixman128 created a short-lived "remix" of the Scratch game Will_Wam Duel. Despite A Butterfly Brawl being released, the remix was taken down shortly after being created due to poor quality, and it is no longer referenced as the true release of Butterfly Brawl.

Despite seemingly being on the back-burner for a while (with the exception of some failed Scratch prototypes), Butterfly Brawl returned to relevancy within the Butterfly community when Felixman128 revived the concept around May of 2020 to the newer users. This started the trend of "power interviews", created by Coolcat06, where Coolcat06's character Couga-Robo would interview various Butterfly characters about what powers or abilities they would use in Butterfly Brawl. Along with the power interviews, reveal trailers and art were created by various users in anticipation for a potential release. Around the same time, Felixman128 experimented with the idea of Butterfly Brawl being a mod of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, but due to lack of modding experience, this idea was eventually canned.

Sometime in 2021, Felixman128 announced that he was finally cancelling the project due to years of failing to put together the ambitious fighting game. It was here that MattMovies599 requested the "rights" to create the game himself, to which Felixman128 agreed. In July of that year, BUTTERFLY BRAWL (1.0) was released onto Game Builder Garage for the Nintendo Switch, as well as a page on the fan website MyGarage Games.

Gameplay
Two players are pitted against one other on their stage of choice, with the stage determining each player's fighter. Each player must take one Joy-Con and use it to attack the other player, draining their health. The player who loses all their health first loses.

Somari Adventures Representation
The track Mount Nick from ''Somari Go! Rally'' makes an appearance in 1.0 as a stage, with the fighters for the stage being Somari and Lance. Unlike the Somari Go! version, the stage is set during the nighttime, a decision that was happily approved by Felixman128.
