Bug Fables: The Everlasting Fighters

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Fighters was an April Fool's game by Moonsprout Games for April Fool's Day 2020. The game uses assets from Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. The game would've been a 2-button fighting game, but was scrapped due to how big the scope of the project was,Twitter Thread as well as complications with the COVID-19 Pandemic. Discord Messages
==Gameplay==
Unlike its predecessor, the game was to be a 2-button fighting game with an endless amount of combos. Twitter Thread Each character would've had the typical fighting game moves, in addition to a gimmick unique to that character (e.g Janet summoning enemies to aid her in a fight).Twitter Thread Each character would've had 7 alternate palette colors that referenced things related to Bug Fables (such as a Zombee alt) or unrelated to the game (such as a Beedrill from Nintendo's Pokémon franchise).Twitter Thread
===Characters===
Of the known characters, only four had some form of moveset, with Maki and Tanjerin being from the video (reusing their sprites from The Everlasting Sapling), while Vi and Janet are the only ones with a finished sprite sheet (sans alternate palettes for Janet). Despite this, there were planned characters, with planned movesets and some sprites, these include: 
*Vi: Would've been able for her to use the Beemerang to hold and rack up combos for as long as she wasn't hit; had a complete sprite sheet.Twitter Thread
*Janet: Would've been able to summon enemies via using Spy Cards; had her sprite sheet done (sans alternate palettes). Twitter Thread
*Kabbu: Would've had the Spiky Bod medal equipped, meaning he would damage other opponents when Blocking, and had a counter move.Twitter Thread
*Leif: Although vague, he most likely was going to freeze opponents, with one freeze per combo.Twitter Thread
*Maki: One of two characters in the April Fools video; he most likely would've been a fast and strong character. His Special would've been summoning his sister, Kina.Youtube Video
*Tanjerin: Likely a joke character, Tanjerin would've started weak until his health was low, becoming so powerful where even walking would drain one's health within a few seconds and ignore any blocks. He was redrawn in this game's artstyle.Youtube Video
*The Seedling Slayer: Would've trained after the Wasp Invasion in Chapter 5. One of her moves would've allowed her to use a sword, lance, and axe. Discord Messages
Other Characters were also planned, but didn't have any moveset revealed:
*General Ultimax: Would've been in his ULTIMAX Tank, and was described to have taken half of the screen. Discord Messages
*Mecha Hoaxe: A character original to the game that, as the name implies, was a mech recreation of the Wasp King built by H.B.Discord Messages
*Zasp and Mothiva: Would've been a duo character, though it's unknown on what type of duo character they would've been.Discord Messages
*Elizant II: Was planned to represent those who usually didn't fight within the game. No sprites were drawn for her.Discord Messages
*Celia and Levi: Would've likely been separate characters. Celia's moveset was described as being Captain America's Marvel vs. Capcom 3 moveset, though it's unknown on what Levi would've had.Discord Messages
*Stratos and Delilah: Would likely have been a duo character similar to Team Mothiva. Their bazooka move would've been a super.Discord Messages
==Trivia==
*When a fan asked Genow how Bug Fables would be represented within Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (a crossover fighting game published by Nintendo), Genow said that he would want to see Team Snakemouth as a team fighter, comparing this mechanic to the then-recently released Pyra/Mythra characters, but doubt any representation would happen.
