CHAMELEON RUN is minimalistic endless runner game with generated levels and ability to change color of your character (square). If you fall down or hit any platform when you don't match its color, you are done.

I used unity engine, C# for programming and Logic for music and sounds.

Special feature: game was developed using only one hand (I broke the other one few days ago ;)

Hope you will like it!

Post compo version
- more FPS, more fluid
- a little harder
- small tweak in controls

wow this is awesome! The looks are fantastic and a great feel for the 'minimalistic' theme. good music and fun! This is similar to my game where you jump and switch colors. Good job!

Haha, great game. Love the feel and look, music fits well. Top notch if I do say so.

Very smooth, and it fits the theme. I wish you had expanded the mechanics a little bit, like a vertical pole in between jump that require you to change color some times

Very nice!

Fun game. You mostly just need some more interesting level designs as the game gets going. wall jumping, falling floors & ceilings, etc. The color scheme really helps you tell where you are in the world, so its easy to know the right time to jump and switch. A lot of endless runners on the market don't even do that right.

Simple concept and mechanics, amazing flow. Leaderboards would be nice. 367.

Very nice flow. Nice variation of the endless runner idea.

Nice variation of the canabalt-like. Good music. When the speed increased my eyes started to ache.

Contrast between the background and the playable zone is really smooth. The resulting atmosphere is really pleasant.

It could have be nice to add a third color to the right, but it would have be surely a bit extreme at high speed.

Oh and the music is good.

Jump control felt perfect.

Jump has an excellent feel to it. The speed and overall feel of the gameplay is perfect. Definitely best game made with 1 hand.

Wow. Really polished presentation. Great graphics and music. It fits the minimalistic theme nicely.
bentog29 Apr 2013, 20:45
I can see this is a pro's entry, this is minimalism at its best. The only con I found is that the song is so awesome it distracts me from gameplay :D

Fun game, the color switching mechanics made it more interesting. I really like how smooth the gameplay is. It just feels right. Also, cool soundtrack !

Minimalistic, fun and stylish.

I loved that lots, when it speeds up it rocks.
Pastal colour scheme works really well doesn't it, overall the look & feel is spot on.
Great work mate.

( I was going to make a joke about spending most of my time in front of the computer with one free hand, but then thought better of it ).
Jellycakes30 Apr 2013, 19:19
Really nice job for someone who could only code with one hand in 48 hours and still turn up with a solid game with good visuals. Really good job!

Very simple and awesome game! Very addictive!

Really good! Best platformer I've played so far, loving the Ikaruga thing! Possibly takes a little too long to get difficult though, shorter games encourage replays!
iossif3 May 2013, 22:42
nothing really new but a solid entry i can play several times :) well done!

Awesome game! There should be different modes with more colors, like easy = 2, medium = 3, hard = 4, hardcore = 5. I don't know if that could work though but oh well. Anyways, like I said, this game was really good and very challenging.
cwilloughby4 May 2013, 07:41
Sick. This is really cool. Great work! Love the music fade in, the mechanic, the style, and the polish. Excellent. I was pulled in by the 10sec video just based on how it looked.

Nice ! Looks like Cannabalt Gameplay with colour system !

Thanks everyone. I will definitely release this on mobile devices after I have some time to finish it :)

Really nice, but at high speeds it got a bit jerky :) Oh, highscore: 690
gerritg4 May 2013, 12:05
Nice visuals, fluid gameplay, nice soundtrack. Who needs more? Great work!
pythong4 May 2013, 12:44
great! had to die a few times until I understood that this is not just canabalt ;)
Madball4 May 2013, 12:46
It kept me glued to the monitor. Simple and fun gameplay, flawless controls. Well done.
0beah4 May 2013, 14:04
Interesting idea. Rather simple but well executed. Reminds me a lot of canabalt.

I really enjoyed this game! The music was pretty simple but amazing, I couldn't stop playing :D

Very slick. Loved the colour switching mechanic, really keeps you on your toes.
protensity4 May 2013, 19:20
Really nice sense of speed. At first I thought it was too easy, but play it long enough and it gets really fun.

Simple and great with good music.

That is a really fun to play game. I like the concept, music and simple graphics very much.

Nice game! music and visuals look very attractive. Gameplay was great too, this is a game I would really like to play while I am on long trip.

Great audio and game mechanic! This was really slick. The jumping was well done and everything was smooth and slick. Good stuff. Got 289.

Super fun game. I would prefer it if the difficulty ramped up a bit faster in the beginning because the first 150 or so points are a little tedious. Also I would have liked it if the cube did a full spin in the air instead of just rocking forwards a bit. Great music!
(I see now you made it a bit harder in the post compo version, plays a lot better)

Great re-inerpretation of canabalt in two button. Good gae.

Puzzlem00n15 May 2013, 01:32
Enjoyable, definitely not a bad idea for a second button in the infinite runner genre. There's a lot of screen tearing, but it's not that big an issue. Cool game.

Really nice variation on the endless runner genre that's just too fun and insanely addictive.

Aevek18 May 2013, 06:58
For me, the perfect blend of a lot of games similar to this one, the basic concept is not original, but well implemented. The color switching added a cool mechanic to keep me focused for much longer than games like this normally do.

Christina Nordlander19 May 2013, 22:16
Now this is how you do minimalism! Nearly as addictive as "Robot Unicorn Attack". The music is very good, I like the background, and there's enough challenge here to keep me coming back. Very nice.

Can you repair the download please...? I would be pretty happy, because I would like to look at the code.
