Chameleon Twist is one of those weird, charming N64 games that never got enough love. You play as this little chameleon dude who can shoot his tongue out like a grappling hook—which sounds simple until you're mid-air trying to swing around floating platforms while dodging enemies. The controls take a minute to get used to (that tongue physics feels janky at first), but once it clicks, you start pulling off some surprisingly smooth moves.
The levels are bright and cartoony, with this dreamlike quality where you'll bounce on giant mushrooms one minute and dodge spinning gears the next. Some sections really make you think about how to use your tongue—like latching onto moving objects to fling yourself across gaps. It's got that perfect mix of frustration and satisfaction when you finally nail a tricky jump after a few tries.
Honestly, it's the kind of game where you'll either love the oddball mechanics or bounce off hard. But if you're into quirky platformers with personality, it's a hidden gem worth digging up.
