Awesome game except hard to find the right color on the fly

Great concept, but really hard to find the right color in time with so many options

Developer

Agreed lol. Lots of colors with unintuitive names. Best strategy is start with the basic color "e.g. green" then go down the list. Thank you for playing!

The idea is cool but am I supposed to try all the possible greens to win ?

Developer

It's essentially random. Not skill based. Every color you need to win can be found in the top 5 colors in green, gray, brown, pink, and blue. If I did expand on the game I would limit the color options, starting with removing any colors that have unintuitive names! Thank you for playing!

Whaaaat ? But I had like a gigantic list of all the green variations with weird names :/ I thought I was supposed to find the good one

It literally takes the hex value for the chameleon color, subtracts the background color, and if the difference is less than 20% you're hidden enough.
Unfortunately this has weird results sometimes, and even when you clearly see the chameleon he is considered hidden, or when he looks pretty close, he's way off.

If I expand on the game I will definitely rework the color comparison and reduce the number of colors. :) Another thought I had would be to hand pick the colors, so I would use "moss green" to color any moss in the game, for example.

This is a really fun idea!
