Colormeleons pairs idle mechanics with a community-driven painting system where you collect paint from colored meleons to create artworks for shared events and competitions. The core loop involves waking meleons to gather different paint shades, then using them to paint pictures that contribute to collective goals and earn rewards. It appeals to players seeking a relaxed, collaborative idle experience with a social component and steam inventory integration.

About this game

What players are saying

▼ Not recommended 460 hrs
Colormeleons might look fun and cute, but it's a huge waste of time. The game is glitchy, with more bugs than features, and the achievements are nearly impossible to get. It takes forever to collect enough canvas and paint to make a decent painting and the game doesn't even have enough secrets to make it interesting. It's basically like MS Paint in ultra-slow mode, and even if you do manage to make something that looks cool, the developer won't even tell you if they like it or not.

The game never seems to get any better, and the updates are few and far between. The developer even spends more time promoting a different game than fixing the problems with this one. It's a shame, because the game could have been really fun and creative, but instead it's just tedious and glitchy. I wouldn't recommend it- it's not worth the time or effort. If you're looking for a game to pass the time, look somewhere else.

The game also has a very small and dedicated community, which I find a bit odd since it's such a waste of time. People obviously have different opinions, but I find it strange that people put so much time and effort into a game that is so flawed and disappointing.

The worst part is that there's really no way to win or even progress in the game. You can collect paint, but it's so slow and tedious that it's not even worth the effort. There's no real reward either- you don't get any points, or money, or even recognition. It's just a pointless, time-consuming activity.

All in all, Colormeleons is a terrible game. It's not even really a game- there's no game loop, no interaction, and no meaningful feedback. It's just a slow, tedious mess with few redeemable qualities. Don't waste your time on this game- there are much better ways to spend your time.

Colormeleons is a fun idle, painting game that has a very small and dedicated community. You get different color meleons that drop the color paint they are in different shades (make sure to check back and click on those meleons), you use these different paints to make beautiful and unique painting for the community and it's events to win prizes.

If you are interested in Steam inventory items this game has items you can get by clicking on the meleons to get paints and canvases, get paintings of the winners of events and DLC purchase. Steam Inventory Guide

Colormeleons are like chameleons, but with severe amnesia. They forgot how to change their color. Well..., either that or a problem with the tuning the photonic response of a lattice of small guanine nanocrystals in the s-iridophores. Either case colormeleons have one color and will always be that one color. Wake up a sleeping colormeleon to get some paint.

The Colormeleons game is an idler. There is not much to do while waiting for the colormeleons to fall asleep. Early game, when you have only one colormeleon, is very slow. Once you have a nice selection of different colormeleons the game start to shape a bit more and you'd be able to start painting and join contests / events. Do not worry, the paint is used but not consumed. Each can of paint equals to one pixel on the canvas, so you are going to need to idle for a few cans. Colormeleons is a simple and nice idle game. The game, while a few years old, is still getting updates and I am looking forward to future updates.
