Chameleon Twist is a painfully fine game that has some neat ideas but doesn't go the full nine yards with it likely due to whatever budget the game had. It's a bit clunky, but its the "huh that's neat" kind of clunky where you can see what the devs were trying to cook with it.

Slurping up a bunch of enemies and spitting em out like a machine gun was really satisfying to pull off and I like how the levels were mostly designed in ways that force you to engage with enemies instead of just walking right by them. Bosses were eh, there were only like 2-3 notable ones that were cool. Presentation is fairly weak, music was alright.

The game ain't long, only 6 levels. It's over before you know it and you're kinda left with the feeling of "man, they had some neat ideas here, wish it could've been fully realized."

Overall Chameleon Twist isn't a waste of time. You can burn through it in less than an hour and it's got chill vibes. I recommend peeping it for that alone, its a fun little novelty and nothing more. Or you can speedrun it, that's fun too!
