An independent logic-arcade game with elements of a sneaking game. We play the role of the title chameleon agent, who performs successive secret missions, trying to avoid detection thanks to the ability to adapt to the color of the environment.
Spy Chameleon is a colorful puzzle-arcade game with stealth elements, in which we have to avoid detection using the ability to change the hero's color. This is the debut project of the independent development studio Unfinished Pixel from Spain.
In Spy Chameleon, we play the role of a secret RGB agent, whose task is to complete "extremely important" missions for a spy organisation. However, these are by no means tasks related to saving the world. The chameleon will have to, e.g. get intimate photos of a certain star and her lover, or to steal a secret formula of a bestselling beverage.
The gameplay mechanics are based on the ability commonly attributed to chameleons to adjust their color to the color of their surroundings. Our hero can use colorful elements of the environment and adapt to their color in no time so that he becomes temporarily invisible to the guards patrolling a given location. They come in five different types, each with a slightly different model of behavior. The key to success in individual missions is to carefully observe the movements and customs of the enemy and plan the route in such a way as to reach the destination unnoticed.
There are five different missions, divided into seventy-five stages. The difficulty increases with the next elements of mechanics. In addition to the main goal, each level has three additional challenges, such as achieving the best time or collecting the resources on the map. We can carry out further missions in several different ways, focusing either on time or on all the additional tasks.
Spy Chameleon is characterized by 3D cartoony graphics. The action of the game is observed from a top-down perspective. The game is intended only for one player, however, a certain element of competition is introduced by dedicated online player rankings.

NintendoWorldReport: 8.5 / 10 by Daan Koopman
Spy Chameleon is an excellent game for the Wii U eShop. With a huge variety of puzzles and a constant stream of gameplay ideas, the game never loses steam. You might get a little lost at times and the leaderboards take a while to boot up, but that shouldn't stop you from picking this title. The game gives you multiple reasons to replay levels and that is, above all, simply fun to do. Spy Chameleon is one of those games that never stops being novel and for the right reasons!
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Lewis Childs
Spy Chameleon's focus on challenges is obviously aimed at completionists, who will certainly get the most out of the game. Those who prefer to reach a level's exit and move on to the next one may end up feeling a little short-changed, as the challenges make up the bulk of the title's duration. However, the current asking price is extremely reasonable, especially when you consider the amount of replayability and achievements on offer. Spy Chameleon is a lot of fun and, despite some minor technical flaws, would make a great addition to any puzzle fan's eShop collection.

Unfortunately the game really lacks for personality and character, and there's really nothing that helps this game stand out from the pack.
