Match two of the same butterfly wings to create beautiful butterflies and make them disappear on the board. But beware! Other wings will block them from being matched, so you have to find the correct path and order to match them. But don't worry if you can't find a way to match them, since you can use power ups which will help you find the matches you are looking for. But keep in mind that those power ups are of limited use, so don't overuse them. So hop in and start creating beautiful Butterflies and watch them all fly to their new home!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ButterLink holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ButterLink has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ButterLink's written reviews are positive against 33% of Butterfly Shimai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
