Kid Chameleon is an action platformer where you can find various masks to transform into other characters each with special abilities. You can become a samurai with a sword, an iron knight that can climb walls, a hockey mask wearing character that throws axes, and even a tank that shoots skulls. There are nine different masks and you collect diamonds to power additional abilities.
 
Good Bad
  • Many unique abilities
  • Lots of blocks to break for diamonds
  • Hidden areas to find
  • Floaty physics where your character slides too much
  • Difficult platforming at times
  • Basic plain graphics that are quite ugly
  • Hidden areas aren't exciting
  • Boring level design
  • Keep your health level between levels
  • Can fall into a pit where the only way out is to lose a life
  • Unnecessary time limit

6 A mediocre platformer with varied character abilities and ugly graphics. The level design takes advantage of the different abilities but is generally quite boring.
