Fun to play, but it doesn't understand stalemate or the three repetition rule.

The game Chameleon Run is a masterpiece, but its problem is that it's not endless and doesn't feature random runs, so it gets boring after playing it 12–13 times. If this game had endless random runs and easy, normal, and hard modes, it could have been the best endless runner game ever, perhaps after Pac-Man 256.

Latest update has ruined it... Uninstalled. Game ends with no acknowledgement of win nor indication it ended. Undos have gone, and appears to require some level of purchase to play properly.

Incredibly fun mental flexibility challenge if you play chess regularly or a great way to learn a new game. Love some noodle cake!

Used to be really great but recent updates have been so confusing. They made the game logo an ugly blue. They removed the victory/defeat screen after a game for whatever reason so now the game just "freezes" weirdly after a game ends. They made the AI way too strong and smart when it's ahead and way too dumb when it's behind. Also, completely disabled the option to get undos unless you pay for them now - before you could watch ads for 5. No idea why they decided to go back and destroy this game

I just started this game, but I ALREADY had problems for example: instead of a normal chess setup it's all mixed up, and I only had 1 PAWN 1! The worst part? This stupid knight keeps on using a CHECK on my king! For those who don't know: the only way to get rid of the king is to checkmate it and during the check, I Can't MOVE MY PIECES! I see why it's called: really bad chess, ITS HORRIBLE!

Recently redownloaded this, but it's really buggy Very often, I can't see the opponent's moves or make another move of my own until I quit to the menu and then reopen the match.

Buggy! Three times now I've gone for the final victory move and the game crashes. Frustrating!
