The difficulty curve was kind of wonky, but the second and third screens both had some really cool jumps. One of the saves is kind of aids and requires a high cactus and a precise double jump, but if you know the inputs, it isn't as hard to pull off as I expected. It really is a shame that the second to last save is impossible because some of the saves were pretty fun and memorable.

Butterfly Nova is a truly revolutionary game that opened a whole new horizon of possibilities in precision. it's a super old precision game which, to my knowledge, contains the two oldest cactus jumps ever created. this on it's own is a very notable quality, and despite all this: it still holds up quite well nowadays. it's quite a fun and interesting precision game. it has some unique maneuvers that use some strange mechanics that you won't really see anywhere else, even in games of this genre. however, I do believe there are games that do this genre of needle better. it's just that I haven't played many of them
the highlight (or lowlight depending on the player) of the game are the two required cactus jumps. one of the cactuses is very lenient and can be done in several ways, while the second is far, far more difficult. a 5+7 into a 4f cancel is one of the meanest, most painful and annoying maneuvers I've ever had to do in any precision game. this is in part due to the fact I'm not great at cactusing, and I'm sure this would've been less difficult if I were better. I have trouble with any cactuses requiring secondary releases in excess of +5, so it wasn't a very fun maneuver. at least it was satisfying as all hell to pull off at the end. additionally, as a nice cherry on top, the last save is insultingly easy compared to the insane bullshit you had to go through right before it
the game itself is legendary and still quite fun to this day. the non-cactus saves are nothing to scoff at and require some strange and unorthodox maneuvers that you haven't seen in any other game before. this is considered unique even nowadays - but think about how unique and avant-garde this game was back when it was first released. I can't quite recommend it, but it sure is a classic
