If you're a puzzle game fan, do not buy this game -- even at its twenty dollar price tag. In fact, even if you're a videogame fan, do not buy this game. Its lack of modes and strategic depth, coupled with several baffling design choices, make it an embarrassment to the PSP's library. Considering the platform's strong assortment of puzzle titles (Lumines, anyone?), there's simply no reason for you to pick up a copy of Chameleon.

"I've been enjoying a lot of indie games on Switch recently so here are 5 recent titles that stood out to me in their own unique ways." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
The Touryst is a pretty cool game, but I hate some of the level design when you have to do those precision jumps, especially on the blue orbs inside the Fiji (?) monument, there's no depth cues and f**king frustrating. But overall cool game with lots of nice surprises. Just to play Bomb Jack in the arcade is worth it :)
Yeah jumping can be tricky. I tried to only watch my shadow and even then, it's hard.
The technical achievement of the game is really something! Super slick 60fps with different types of physics added. This is how Switch games should be :) And that said, I hope there will be a Touryst sequel in the future.

In case your PSP wasn't getting enough puzzle love, UFO Interactive Games announced today that it's bringing Chameleon to Sony's portable in Q2 2008.
The title will revolve around matching similarly colored hexagonal tiles but will also feature four playable characters who each have unique abilities, at least two modes -- be the first to reach the flag in Goal Mode and overtake the enemy in King Mode -- as well as wireless multiplayer and game sharing.
