Fancy a change? Well, why not try Chameleon. Geddit! No? Oh, well it takes all sorts. Chameleon is the new one from Electric Dreams, and it's... well, a bit different.

The game is based on a tale about elementals, you know, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Mother Nature and all that. It seems that a man, who was a little evil, discovered a gateway, quite by accident, to the realms where these elements lived.

The elements welcomed him, as they had not seen a human before, and he managed to learn about the element's creation. He began to plot an evil plan in his twisted mind, and set about doing dirty deeds.

For in Limbo, the elements were together and balanced, but he could create a new breed of elementals, more powerful, each in its own realm, with him as their master.

But the elements started to get greedy and each one wanted supreme power, and this he would not allow, and so they killed him, and also found the gateway, back to the normal world.

Disaster struck, storms destroyed cities, wind destroyed buildings and the ocean kept man firmly on land, which was very humiliating.

Until Nature in her last attempt at restoring order created the Chameleon. He was a hybrid of man and flux, the very essence of the elements. He could realign his flux to form any of the elements, and thus could destroy them, this is where you come in.

Controlling the Chameleon, you must travel to the different realms of limbo, to destroy the demons and collect the tainted flux placed there by the first man, and return it to the heart of limbo.

First you go to the realm of Fire, which is the easiest of the realms. Using all the powers of nature and pulling back on the joystick three times with the button held down, you can choose the alignment of flux you want.

You will change to the colour of the flux, and can hurl the flux at the demons. But first you must find the powerful tainted flux hidden by the demons.

To find the flux, you must pass the right gateway at the right time of day, which is a more luck than judgement job. Once found you must destroy the remaining elements and go through a gateway to the next realm.

While you seek the flux, you will be attacked by everything in the realm, but you can fight back. You can regain your energy by shooting a path demon, which will turn into flux.

But of course the further you get, the more elements attack, and so on. You will also have to dodge elements which have come from other realms, as you restore them.

If you want a different sort of game then try this, but take a good look first, OK.
