About Hungry Chameleon
Hungry Chameleon is a fast color-matching arcade game starring a very hungry lizard. Bugs flutter around the branch, and tapping one shoots your chameleon's sticky tongue straight at it. The catch: your chameleon has to be the same color as the bug. Use the color swatches at the bottom of the screen to switch, then strike.
Eat the right color to build combo points, but grab the wrong one and your chameleon gets dizzy for a moment. Grey flies can be eaten in any color, the rainbow butterfly starts a five-second FEVER with double points, clock bugs add time and wasps take five seconds away. New colors unlock as the clock runs, with yellow after 15 seconds and purple after 30, so the last part of each 60-second round gets wonderfully hectic.
