Given the simplicity and immense popularity of Meccha Chameleon, it was only a matter of time before clones of the game started popping up. One such game is Scribble Hunt<\/strong>, which not only copies Meccha Chameleon\u2019s core gameplay loop and many of its UI elements, but also goes as far as to even copy its title in the Korean version of the game (source: INVEN<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Scribble<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While it does have some original features, nearly everything about Scribble Hunt, from the 3D assets, to the gameplay and UI, is strikingly similar to Meccha Chameleon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One gameplay element\u00a0introduced to \u201cspice things up\u201d is that, in addition to painting themselves, hiders can morph into objects to blend in (similar to prop hunt games). Another mechanic, unique to the hunters, provides players with several weapons to choose from (such as an assault rifle and a splat bomb). Hunters also gain infrared vision during the match\u2019s final 30 seconds, revealing every hider in the level. Aside from gameplay changes, are also several cosmetic items, such as skins, dance emotes, and taunts, for players to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Scibble Hunt\u2019s Korean name \u201c\uba54\ucc60 \uce74\uba5c\ub808\uc628\u201d bizarrely translates to \u201cMeccha Chameleon,\u201d the game has different title variations for its supported languages Its Simplified and Traditional Chinese names, \u201c\u8d85\u7ea7\u53d8\u8272\u9f99\u201d and \u201c\u8d85\u7d1a\u8b8a\u8272\u9f8d\u201d, respectively, translate to \u201cSuper Chameleon\u201d. Its Japanese name, \u201c\u304a\u7d75\u63cf\u304d\u304b\u304f\u308c\u3093\u307c (Oekaki Kakurenbo)\u201d, on the other hand, roughly translates to \u201cDrawing Hide-and-Seek.\u201d Given that the game is primarily marketed as \u201cScribble Hunt\u201d (all translations feature the same promotional image on Steam), having the Korean title be simply \u201cMeccha Chameleon\u201dis a rather unusual choice, especially considering the possible legal issues it could imply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meccha Chameleon is available for Windows (Steam<\/a>).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
