Our Apps
What Butter Fly: Tap & Flap and every Futuro Studios app is for, and how it works
Futuro Studios is a cross-media studio building mobile apps, games, e-books, music, and film out of one shared creative universe. This page is the marketing home for the applications we publish on the Apple App Store and Google Play. It describes what our apps do, how purchases and AI features work inside them, and where to find our privacy policy and support channels before or after you download.
Our featured release is Nixon: The Cover-Up, a darkly comic political strategy game about counting to thirty-four, and our most-played game is Butter Fly: Tap & Flap, a casual one-touch flyer you can finish a run of while the kettle boils. Every app we ship is made by a small studio rather than a growth team. That shows up in the product: no ads, ever, in any app we publish — no accounts you did not ask for, no notifications designed to pull you back, and no feature that exists only to collect something about you.

Nixon: The Cover-Up
“34 senators. Some of them have surprisingly reasonable rates.”
It is August 5, 1974. The House Judiciary Committee has voted to impeach, the Senate trial begins in days, and history says Richard Nixon resigned. In this game he does not. You play Nixon, you get two actions a day, and one number decides everything: 34 of the 100 senators voting to acquit before the trial ends.
You spend Political Capital, Cash, and the goodwill of four Senate factions — GOP Loyalists, Republican Skeptics, Southern Democrats, Progressive Democrats — each with its own prices and its own resistance. Bribe the senators who can be bought, and find out the hard way which ones cannot; lobby the rest; work the press to peel off a wavering Republican; and fund the whole operation with foreign policy gambits that raise Soviet Tension, because brinkmanship turns out to be a fundraising strategy. Let that gauge reach 100 and the Cold War goes hot, which ends the game rather more decisively than losing the vote.
The clock works against you the whole way: GOP support drifts off by a vote every three days, and scripted events — Saturday-night firings, Soviet fleet movements, counter-lobbying from Kennedy and Ervin, ambassadors with ultimatums — land on their own schedule. Runs last 15 to 26 in-game days across three difficulties, from “Nixon's Choice” to “Enemies Everywhere,” and randomized senator prices and events keep the next attempt from playing like the last one.
It is satire, and it is funny about it — senators carefully review all available evidence moments after cashing a check, Kissinger announces a breakthrough without specifying what was broken through. The whole thing runs on a phosphor-green Cold War terminal, with Nixon-era catchphrases raining down the background, and opens on a cinematic assembled from real public-domain archival footage and a genuine Nixon tape recording. The intro is skippable and can be muted.
The game is single-player and plays offline — all footage and audio ship inside the app. It is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, and the web, with optional in-app purchases and no advertising of any kind. Content note: political satire and historical themes, including depictions of bribery and nuclear brinkmanship. Nothing graphic.

Butter Fly: Tap & Flap
“One tap up. Gravity does the rest.”
Butter Fly: Tap & Flap is a casual arcade game in the Flappy Bird tradition, built around a single control. Tap to flap and the butterfly rises; stop tapping and it falls. Everything between you and a better score is a run of gaps to thread, each one a little less forgiving than it looked a moment earlier.
There is nothing to learn and nothing to configure. A run starts the instant you touch the screen and ends the instant you clip an edge, and the only thing that carries over is your best score — which is why the next attempt tends to begin before you have finished being annoyed about the last one. Sessions are measured in seconds, so it suits a queue or a lift as well as it suits an evening.
It is available on iPhone, iPad, and Android, it plays one-handed in portrait, and it needs no connection — the whole game ships inside the app. There are no accounts and no sign-in, no ads between runs or anywhere else, and your best score lives on your device. Any purchases are optional, with the current price and terms shown on the store listing and inside the game before you confirm anything. It is a general-audience game with no violent or mature content.

Not every section below applies to every app. Some of our apps have no accounts, no purchases, and no AI-assisted features at all, so skip anything that does not match what you see on your device.
What to Expect
Our apps are designed to be legible on first open and to stay useful after the novelty wears off. Interfaces are built around a clear primary action, they work on the phone you already own, and they respect system settings for text size, reduced motion, and dark appearance.
We request device permissions — location, camera, photo library, microphone, notifications — only where a specific feature needs one, and only at the moment you use that feature. Declining a permission disables just that feature; the rest of the app keeps working.
Pricing, Subscriptions, and Purchases
Where an app offers a subscription or an in-app purchase, the current price and terms are shown on its store listing and inside the app before you confirm anything. Purchases are processed by Apple or Google through the store you installed from, and are governed by that store's billing rules and refund policies.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel one at any time in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. If a purchase you completed is not unlocked, use Restore Purchases in the app's settings first.
AI-Assisted Features
Some of our apps include features powered by third-party AI providers. Where they appear, they are there to draft, summarize, or suggest — not to decide for you. Generated output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, and it is not professional, legal, medical, or financial advice.
We access these providers under business API terms, under which the content you submit is not used to train their models by default, and we do not use it to train models of our own. Please avoid entering sensitive personal information into an AI-assisted feature.
Privacy
Our apps carry no advertising. There are no ads, no ad SDKs, no ad networks, and no advertising identifiers in anything we publish, and that is not a stage we are waiting to grow out of — an app we make is paid for by the people who choose to buy it, never by selling your attention or your data to someone else.
Our apps collect only what the features you use actually require, and the privacy label on each store listing describes what that specific app collects. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
The full details — what is collected, how it is used and shared, how long it is kept, how AI features and subscriptions are handled, and how to access, export, or delete your data — are in the App Privacy Policy. That policy covers Butter Fly: Tap & Flap and every Futuro Studios app that links to it. Use of our apps and this site is also subject to our Terms and Conditions.
Support and Contact
Help with bugs, crashes, subscriptions, permissions, and account or data deletion lives on our App Support page, which also explains what to include so we can reproduce a problem quickly.
For press, partnership, or licensing enquiries, or anything else about the studio, write to Futuro Studios, 2248 Broadway #1589, New York, NY 10024, United States, or use the developer contact shown on the app's App Store or Google Play listing. Please tell us which app your message concerns.
