We are talking about a very intelligent and interesting video game. The Butterfly Effect it is in fact a game Open source 1 And free which uses realistic physics simulations to combine simple mechanical elements. To put it in simpler words: you will have to complete each level using physics!
Those who already have some graying hair will most likely remember the video game series called The Incredible Machine. It was a truly remarkable series of puzzles where you had to arrange objects in order to create a real chain reaction. Ropes, pulleys, torches, scissors, candles and even animals such as cats or mice were available. The game perfectly simulated the force of gravity and physical interactions between objects. A real must for those who were already gamers in the 90s.
The Butterfly Effect
The Butterfly Effect, even if it is not explicitly said, is clearly inspired by this type of game. The name is instead a clear reference to the so-called butterfly Effect.
“Can the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?”
Title of a conference held by Edward Lorenz in 1972
Despite not having received any updates in the last 5 years, The Butterfly Effect it is still playable and available in many languages. The Italian is not yet complete but you can always help translate it (even if the project seems abandoned and we don't know how much sense it would make to do so).
This video is served thanks to the decentralized platform and Open source PeerTube, through one of the Italian instances: PeerTube.uno.

In conclusion it is a fun pastime for all ages, it is also available for all platforms: you can download it for Linux, For Windows and also for macOS.
Let us know if you decide to try it. We thought it was a lot of fun, it's full of everyday objects to combine with each other such as springs, balloons and swings. But you also need to know how to place at the right time dynamite, butterflies And penguins!
If you liked this game don't miss the whole series open games sources reviewed!
