Just five days ago, we reported that indie hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon had sold seven million copies<\/a> since its release on 10th June, and now it’s topped another staggering milestone: 10 million copies sold.<\/p>\n

Developers Lemorion_1224 and Haganerio marked the huge achievement in their customary succinct Steam update<\/a>, writing: “We hit 10 million sales! Thank you so much for your support!”<\/p>\n

Meccha Chameleon is a game in which players must use paint tools to disguise themselves in the environment while others attempt to track them down. Its popularity has largely been down to word-of-mouth and the entertaining exploits of content creators and gamers online.<\/p>\n

Meccha Chameleon is the latest in a string of delightful social co-op games, following in the footsteps of the likes of REPO<\/a>, Lethal Company<\/a>, and Among Us<\/a>. Like those games before it, Meccha Chameleon is being sold for a relatively low price compared to many of the triple-A offerings. It’s currently available for \u00a35.29, a fraction of the cost of the 007 First Light for example, which retails for \u00a359.99.<\/p>\n

In recognition of the seven million copies sold, the developer behind Meccha Chameleon added a Japan-themed map<\/a>, although this week’s 1.8.1 update was rolled back on the same day it went live “due to a bug”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just five days ago, we reported that indie hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon had sold seven million copies since…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-661859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
