Chameleons will hold still and blend into the background when you look at them. Look away and they start moving, shedding a trail of old pixels.

See how many you can find and click, or just spin the mouse and watch the pixels shift.

HINT: Click the invisible chameleon, not its visible trail.

This is definitely innovative, but a little frustrating to get the mechanics down in order to progress.

I really liked the concept of finding hidden shapes.

Cool idea!! This looks like it would be a very cool phone game! It took me a minute to figure out what to do!

Interesting idea, but it really felt more like guesswork and luck than skill.

I am so frustrated cause i didnt realize where the shapes are, anyway interesting and innovative.

Interesting, but im not sure if your mechanic is working. It seemed to but updating the trail sometimes even if i was looking at them.

This was really really weird. Really weird. What did I just play?

I absolutely love this concept, but there could be a better tutorial/explanation, the mechanic is very difficult to get the first few times. An improved version of this would be amazing!

Cool idea, but in practice it felt like point-and-click adventure spamming.

Interesting game. Could've used a bit of elaboration, though.

Fun, but there have been occasions where it seems I found them all as nothing is moving no matter where I move my mouse, but it still isn't going to the next level. Also the transition between levels is a bit jarring (as is death). Perhaps would be good to get a "success" notification and then move to the next level.
