The $5 paint-yourself hide-and-seek game from solo developer Lemorion 1224 sold a million copies within days of its June 9 launch.

Meccha Chameleon is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game that has sold more than one million copies, and it did it in a matter of days. The premise mixes the spirit of Prop Hunt with an MS Paint-style toolkit, asking you to coat a plain white character in colors that match your surroundings so the seekers never spot you. It launched cheap, climbed fast, and now sits near the very top of Steam’s global sales chart.

Quick answer: Meccha Chameleon, made and published by solo developer Lemorion 1224, passed 1 million copies sold on Steam after launching on June 9, 2026, and currently ranks number two on Valve’s global top sellers list behind Counter-Strike 2.


How Meccha Chameleon plays

Each match splits players into two teams, Hiders and Seekers. The Seekers win if they find every Hider before the clock runs out. Every character begins as a blank white figure that looks a bit like a clay doll, which is where the twist comes in.

Instead of crouching behind crates, Hiders pick a spot and then open a paint palette to color themselves into the scenery. Your hiding place, your pose, and your painting skill all decide whether a Seeker walks right past you or calls you out. It is a small idea that rewards creativity, and it sets the game apart from the usual prop-hunt and witch-hunt party formats.

You can play with friends or with strangers. Any server that is not set to private lets people drop in freely, and streamers can host viewer-participation games with ease. The recommended group size is two to ten players, with the host’s network determining the real ceiling.


The sales milestone and Steam chart position

Lemorion 1224 confirmed the one million figure with a short message on the game’s Steam page thanking players for the support. The number is striking because of how quickly it arrived. The game crossed 500,000 copies barely a day after release, then doubled that shortly after.

On Valve’s global top sellers list, Meccha Chameleon climbed to second place, sitting above both Forza Horizon 6 and Destiny 2 and just under Counter-Strike 2. For a casual game built by one person, that is rare company.

The game has been a hit on streams as well, which helped drive the early momentum. It reached a peak Twitch viewership of 127,656 on its launch day, Wednesday June 10, with large streamers showing off its chaotic painting matches. Its concurrent player count on Steam climbed past 61,000 and kept rising day by day.

Price and the current launch discount

Part of the appeal is how little it costs. The base price is $5.99 / £5.29, and a 20% launch discount drops it to $4.79 / £4.23. That introductory offer runs until June 16, so it is still active. You can grab it on the Meccha Chameleon Steam page.

At that price it is easy to convince a group of friends to pick it up for a session. Even without anyone on your friends list, public servers let you join other players online right away.


System requirements and platform

Meccha Chameleon is a PC release on Steam. The requirements are light, which matches its casual, pick-up-and-play design.

The game supports 12 languages for its interface and subtitles, including English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French, Italian, German, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian. Reviews on Steam have landed in mostly positive territory.


Ongoing updates after launch

Lemorion 1224 has been pushing out updates quickly to keep players engaged during the early surge. One recent addition lets you invite friends to games directly, which had been a common request. Other planned content includes a points system that rewards Hiders for how long they survive inside a Seeker’s line of sight, plus a brand-new official map for both teams to learn.

Meccha Chameleon fits a clear 2026 trend of silly, social multiplayer games breaking the million-seller mark, joining titles like Far Far West, Super Battle Golf, and Gamble With Your Friends. A low price and a genuinely creative hook turned out to be a winning mix, and with steady updates landing, its momentum shows little sign of fading.
