itch.io

GAH. I PLAYED IT WHEN IT CAME OUT BUT FORGOT TO LEAVE A REVIEW AND COMMENT!! definitely a really fun way of going around the O2A2 limitations! I liked the general premise of it and gimmick! i DID NOT find the item and got Jumpscared at the end but it's fine, it's fine there's always next time T^T

I enjoyed the banter between the monster and the player a lot but they could NOT get me to work here for only 250 a night. MC, demand a pay raise!!! 

BWAHAHHA thank you so much for playing it, Zac!!! we wanted to make something lighthearted in our own way and now we have Stinkbug (and Edgar!) and Cirro now LMAO

EHEHEHEHEEH THANK YOU BUTTERFLY ROCKET STUDIO!!! Ran's illustrations never miss and I truly enjoy heavy dialogue yapping back and forth. Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment!!

TELL ME ABOUT IT. RAN IS INSANE!!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game!! I absolutely love your reaction to meeting Edgar. He's such an interestingly quiet fella compared to Stinkbug's crassness. 

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!! I definitely want to have further works with Cirro and Stinkbug (and Edgar too) so I'll keep you posted on it LMAO

(You should also check the "It's a pathetic way to go out" choice too if you want to see more of Edgar ehehehe)

(for the parallax, i honestly just watched a tutorial and then adjusted their example code for what i needed!! it's really easy after that :DDD)

EHEHEHEHE THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Stinkbug (and Edgar) and Cirro are so much fun to write and we had a great time making the palette work!! :DDD thank you for playing!

that was perfection. and beautiful. im super normal, see? 

we love you natsu even if you weren't real.... or maybe you were?

EITHER WAY. THIS WAS HILARIOUS. I LOVED THE CORNY 4th WALL BREAKING. Perfection. I loved going through all the options sooo much! great work, Zac!!

HOLY MOLY I LOVE THIS GAME. THE VOICE ACTING IS INSANE, it's surreal, it's so atmospheric and dreary and so easy to immerse yourself in the Butterfly Rocket Studio world. I loved my times in the woods and frankly, wasn't ready for the credits to roll since I wanted to continue exploring such an amazing place. Easily a story I'm going to recommend to my friends.

EHEHEHEEHEH THANK YOU MEESTERSHEENS!!! I couldn't have done it without your streams in the background ensuring I'd be at my computer long enough LMAO

I think the world of Blight Capital is VERY interesting and I'm SO glad Stinkbug (and Cirro and Edgar were a hit!!)

THANK YOU SO MUCH AZUREXTWILIGHT!!! it means a lot to see you here!! and i'm glad you liked the animations!! Ran and I definitely wanted to make sure we had them for this one!! I can't make any promises but I definitely have more stories I want to share of these two (three if you count Stinkbug and Edgar as two different people)!!

YOOOOOOOOOOOO I've been looking forward to an itsu game FOR AGES!! let's goooo!! we love you Harper- you're so chill with it. harper should tell us their favorite dice se- oh, they're rolling a die... to pick their favorite dice set... oh... uh,... anyways!

I LOVED THE ART AND THE MYSTICAL NIGHT WITH THEM!! great job!!

I love this. That was perfect in every way. Truly the maximum historic rival action vn overdrive. 10/10 would experience again. ALSO ONY'S LITTLE MOVEMENTS WERE SO CUTE!!

AWAWWAWAWWA HE MISSES UUUSSS!! HE MISSES UUUUUUUUUUUS!!! hi wishmaker, i'm sorry we don't remember you but... stay with us. be our anomaly!

Xavier is so funny. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I couldn't imagine actually living with him since he's like a golden retriever PUPPY but he's also so funny and stupid, I'd want to be ghost partners with him. 

I like that the breaking point is that he just. ate so much peanut butter. that's something i'd 100% do. we can be stupid together, Xavier. Don't worry about not being able to eat peanut butter anymore. 

Great short game with good laughs!

AWAWAWAWA congrats on release!! i loved the dreary aesthetic. That opening went so hard. I couldn't bring myself to let him die- I SHOULDVE but he was so close to understanding the horrors of war. GO FORTH, MY REPENTING BAKER!! go forth and share your mercies!!

he should've stayed hooooome... that description of the burned man was So Good too!! amazing work!!

erm, maxim, when's your next stream? I have more questions???

That was a WONDERFUL experience that had me cackling SO hard to some of these out of pocket terms. Maxim, go to therapy, please, it's not too late. you're rich, twenty-two, and clearly going through stuff.

the fricken hammer... amazing work!

I LOVE MY CRAB. MY CRAAAAAB THAT MY WIIIIIFE BROUGHT ME!! plesae help me im drowning im under the water. SHES SO CUTE. AND THIS WAS SUCH A COOL SET UP. AMAZING. MADE MY JAW DROP.

my beautiful malewife, ikusarion... i think i hauve covid for him. he's everything to me. Ran and I cackled so hard to the various routes you could take. We made him our wife, we became his malewife, we made him do our homework. Fantastic. Beautiful experience. He's so dang endearing.

Hiiiiii Jun~

That was fun! Loved going through the choices- the "what about drinks?!" line was HILARIOUS. I literally went, "Man, what if this was the end of the game" and then it went back to the menu screen. The art is GORGEOUS and I love the irony of the situation for the MC. 

Great work getting this done through O2A2!!

LETS GOOOO!!! ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS HERE!!! added to my play list!! congrats on the update!!

AWAWWAWA thank you so much for checking out Houndwife!! Atlas truly is best boy. He means well and he loves his wife sooo much. Yes! It was a slight error between the UI designer and the CG artist- all UI had been done within the first days of jam and it slipped through our revisions until it was too late for either cg or ui artist to change!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I still gotta get to play your game!! I saw the Orion devlog!! Definitely hyped!

That was amazing. Best ten minutes of my life. I love clicker games and the very chatty demons were perfect to this experience. Amazing soundtrack too! I am JAMMING here.

This was so much fun!!! I love the aesthetic!! Go, Scarecrow Jack, Go!!!

AWAWAWAWAWAWA THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, BUTTERFLY ROCKET STUDIOS!! It is VERY high praise coming from you!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THE UI IS STUNNING AS ALWAYS- BUT THE PICCREW TOO??? Otoke, I could spend all day flipping through different options BWAHAHAHA- manifesting you a new PC as soon as possible!!

OOAUAUHGUAHGUHGH now that I'm not tied immediately to rating screens and get the luxury of a Read More offered...

PHENOMENAL CHEFS KISS. OH MY GOODNESS. THIS GAME HAS BEEN ON MY TO PLAY LIST SINCE THE DIRECTOR SHARED THE PREMISE WITH ME BACK IN DECEMBER. THIS WAS PHENOMENAL AMAZING AND OHHHAH AUHAUHUHUGHUGUH IM STILL REELING FROM NEMO. 

THE VOICE ACTING AND SOUNDEFFECTS WERE PEAK. THE SPRITE ANIMATIONS AND AMBIENCE? STELLAR. OAUUAHGUHGUHUHG NEMO!!!!! NEMO!!! CALL ME!!!!!!  I'M FREE TONIGHT FOR YOU.

I genuinely really enjoyed this game. It has everything. Every part you look is going to be phenomenally polished. I heard that there was apparently a bug in it but I couldn't seem to replicate it on my own save- but this entire game play was just. ALL that i could ask for and more. Every part you look has 

And on top of that! It has the Butterfly Rocket TM uniqueness, blending magical realism with witty modern dialogue alongside stunning graphics, cinematography, and UI to make for a perfect and splendid experience that is well worth another playthrough to fully soak into Other Spheres. The direction here is truly something to behold, from opening scene to closing credits.

Every character we get introduced to: Channary, Umibozo, and Nemo, all have their own unique voices, unique flavors of character, and unique feelings they invoke in the reader. 

Channary felt like sweet maple donuts, fresh from the oven of a bygone era. She's gone to the moon and we won't be able to follow her. She's got her purpose and she's finding her destiny; yet she stays rooted in our past, memories of a distant time-- maybe even a better time depending on how you view Nemo and Umibozo. She's a beloved friend, one that you want back, and every shot of her is basked in this warmness, this softness. 

(During MisterShins' stream, the chat noticed that in the ambience of her scene, that there's people talking, laughing, clattering things around... living their best life. Rarely does Butterfly Rocket Studios make unintentional choices and even in the sound design, it reflects how genuinely nostalgic Channary is. She's the moon, always out of reach, but always present with us)

Umibozo directly ties to this sense of destiny that Channary brings up. To her, the moon is her other self. She has to go out and chase after it- but what about Callisto? They love the ocean- so much that they initially choose it instead of following Channary to space. Except the Ocean, the depths... isn't a tangible object. It isn't something that can be contained in a box and when Umibozo catches wind of Callisto's stubborn existence, they offer to free Callisto from the shackles of society, offering true freedom, true authority, free from nagging. Umibozo is the bottomless bucket of dreams, of curiosity... and through Umibozo, the author asks us if we'd be willing to destroy our safety nets, our shackles to the past and present, and truly be free in a gamble for true euphoria, true satisfaction.

And my Imaginary Husband- I mean Bad Robot- I mean, Nemo. He's programmed to be our caretaker and therapist, overseeing the bulk of ship duties as well as be Callisto's personal alarm. He's snarky, he's pompous, he's... precocious ;) and while talking to him, we learn that he has his own vast emotions that he manages. He, our caretaker and roots, the only home Callisto can tangibly return to, has fallen in love with the player. He adores us even behind all of his threats of martyrdom and hatred for Callisto. And he's willing to tank "becoming a smart toaster" or whatever other hypothetical fates awaited him upon returning to the surface... just to ensure Callisto lived.

Do you long for what you once had, embracing the safety and security of the past even if there's no guarantee those feelings will ever fully return? 

Reach out and escape to the unknown to meet your destiny, your passion, your future, in its (or rather their) domain rather than stay unknowing of what could've been? 

Or do you accept the familiarity of the present, of shelter, of home, of a safety net, even if it's cynical and mean at times, because at the end of the day, home knows you best?

NOW UH... that was a lot of words. I hope you enjoyed my thoughts just as much as I enjoyed your game, Butterfly Rocket Studios. Know I eagerly await what comes next. In the mean time, I... should go get the gallery complete BUT man, I can't take my eyes off of Nemo! I'm off to go frolic with my bad robot boyfriend again. Sorry, Umi and Channary, I need to know what M!Callisto sounds like when I'm with Nemo. 

PHENOMENAL CHEFS KISS. OH MY GOODNESS. THIS GAME HAS BEEN ON MY TO PLAY LIST SINCE THE DIRECTOR SHARED THE PREMISE WITH ME BACK IN DECEMBER. THIS WAS PHENOMENAL AMAZING AND OHHHAH AUHAUHUHUGHUGUH IM STILL REELING FROM NEMO.

VERY fun game!! I was NOT expecting it to be as long nor as advanced as it was!! The branching paths were REALLY cool and definitely a lot of fun seeing everything come together. The art is AMAZING!!! (heads up, I did catch some missing sprites during the ballroom scene if you say she's sad)

The writing is very succinct and enjoyable. Definitely a well paced game and like others, I definitely want to keep exploring to see what other endings there are. Congrats on making your first game; this is amazing and very ambitious!!

AWAWAWAWA THANK YOU SO MUCH BUTTERFLY ROCKET STUDIOS!! ITS HIGH PRAISE FROM YOU AND YOUR TEAM!!! The team and I are ecstatic over your praise!! We're definitely hard at work to keep getting more of the story ready for the public as soon as possible!

EHEHEHHE thank you so much!! I'm happy you enjoyed the story and art!! We wanted to make sure we kept a strong handle on direction for it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! We wanted to put a heavy emphasis on keeping it cozy!

thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it (especially the minigame!!). We all had a lot of fun discussing how to make Aina and Lyric's banter so iconic and rest assured, the banter continues amid different characters alongside more minigames and features!!

Same goes to you though with the praise on the complete story! The team and I loved Dirk the Dictionary- definitely top tier humor and scripting on your end!

That was REALLY fun. I've been seeing you around in DevTalk and I'm REALLY glad I got a chance to play around with Dirk the Dictionary!! The expressions really elevated the experience and the banter was superb!! amazing work!! (No one let Dirk the Dictionary into my documents though... for everyone's sakes.)

AMAZING FUN!! The sprite animations here are INCREDIBLE even as it's in development. You can tell each and every scene has its own polish applied to it to ensure that it's the highest grade it can be when it leaves the programming stage. I loved the atmosphere of every scene and Anh 1000/10 should call me. Please. I'll go exploring in the woods with him. He can tutor me. PLEASE. 

You all did amazing work!!

IAAUFAHUUGOUAHHGH ANH I NEED YOU. sorry i just saw him and i immediately need to give him my wallet, social security, and uh. my report card. please let him call me. is he free tonight?

ALLIN BABY... NOT THE ROSES... NOT FOR HER. SHE IS NO GOOD!!
