Chameleon Twist 2 is a sequel that takes a step forward and a few back. The controls, camera, and presentation were vastly improved. Feels nice to control and everything is so vibrant and full of color. Music is also pretty solid.
I was also a big fan of the tongue having new moves with the levels crafting challenges around that rather than the predecessor where it was kinda there but not really.
Unfortunately, the levels as a whole weren't great when you take out the tongue swinging challenges out of the picture. There's just alot of floating platform waiting room bs inbetween all that. It nixes the pacing. The levels also feel very barren with threats. There's enemies, but you can just avoid them, you're rarely forced to engage with them.
Overall, Chameleon Twist 2 is a bit better than the original but not by much. Short playthrough, 6 levels, not a bad game. Peep it for the novelty and the tongue moveset. I do hope some indie games take that concept and mess with it, the only one to really do so (masterfully imo) is Frogun (love that game so much)

A passable but forgettable short 3D platformer. The tongue gimmick is unique and fun to play with, but there's little depth in enemies and puzzles and not enough variety in the challenges.
