Butterfingers
Five seconds. One job. Go!
Butterfingers is a microgame frenzy on your Stream Deck. Tiny games come at you one after another, each over in a few seconds. You have three lives, and it keeps getting faster.
One price, the whole game. No ads, no purchases, no network.
The listing is reserved and this button turns into a link the moment Elgato publishes it.
Or try Butterfingers Lite, free ↓An order, a scramble, a verdict
Every key shouts the order. Then the whole deck becomes that game, with a fuse burning along the foot of every key. Get it done before the fuse is and you score a point. Fumble it and Pat, the pat of butter who hosts, melts, and a life is gone.




Twenty games
Each is one idea you grasp in a blink. You start with eight, and a new one opens each time your best score reaches the next mark.




















Faster, and then a boss
Every fifth game the fuses and the orders get shorter. Every fifteenth is a boss: three games in a row on one life, and a life back if you beat it. A run takes a minute or two, and one more go is always one press away.



The rest of it
- Snappy
- A press is judged and drawn the moment it lands, not on the next tick.
- A daily run
- The same games in the same order for everyone, that day, with its own best score.
- Practice
- Any open game by itself, at the easiest pace, as often as you like.
- Records
- Best score, today's daily best, and how often you have won each game.
- Loud and cartoon
- Thick ink outlines on sunbursts, one colour pair per game, so you know the game before you read a word.
- Pat
- A pat of butter who cheers, panics and melts.
- Sound
- A shout for the order, a jingle for the verdict, a beep when the fuse runs low. One switch turns it off.
- Fair
- Every game is tested to be winnable on every deck shape at every pace.
Two editions
Butterfingers Lite is free and stays free. It has six of the games, all open, which is enough to find out whether this is your kind of fun. Butterfingers is the whole game. Records from Lite are not carried over.
