Meccha Chameleon has officially crossed 10 million sales. The milestone cements the Steam exclusive as one of the most successful friendslop games in recent memory and is especially notable given the modest circumstances in which it was developed.
Meccha Chameleon is credited on Steam to indie developer lemorion_1224, but it is actually a creation of a two-person team from Japan. While lemorion_1224 handled maps and models, Haganeiro dealt with system management. In just two months, the duo managed to create a compelling hide-and-seek multiplayer game requiring players to conceal their characters by painting them in a way that matches their surroundings as best as possible. The premise is simple enough to be accessible, but its execution allows for a fairly high skill ceiling. More importantly, the average Meccha Chameleon match tends to be filled with spontaneous hilarity that is a direct result of its gameplay design. Those factors, combined with a sub-$5 launch price, have all helped the project become an instant hit following its June 10 release.
The viral hide-and-seek sensation Meccha Chameleon is currently outselling some major AAA titles on Steam, despite there being a huge summer sale on.
