For: I wanna be the Butterfly Nova
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

Avoidance, using 'demonic little grey cat theme song'. As it is pretty clear from the title - we have yet another barrage. Author says that it is 'Bad', a lot of people say that is 'Good'. For me it is as average as possible.
There are interesting moments in this avoidance, but you also have some very questionable moments, as well. Sure, you have interesting spirals or attacks that require you to go to the centre. But why are you giving me very fast and standard bouncing? Or bursts which can give everything or nothing? The moments which are interesting, I found to be interesting or for a bit. They cannot handle everything for long time.
Final few attacks are the hardest attacks in the avoidance. Quite chaotic and quite scary to dodge.
I have beaten this avoidance back in December of 2023, and now as well. I think my opinion has not changed much. Maybe this avoidance had some unique aspect back in 2020, but now it kind of feels outdated for me. I do not find this game appealing nowadays. It is not bad, but it does not offer anything particularly interesting so that I could say that this is a good avoidance. A bit monotonous if you ask me. And that is especially clear if you look on intro, which does not manage to show the slow buildup in an interesting way.
If you are decent enough in avoidances, you will probably beat this thing in less than an hour and will forget about it quickly enough.
Honestly, I would not really recommend this, unless you need some quick barrage game to play.
