Kid Chameleon is an action platformer where you can find various masks to transform into other characters each with special abilities. You can become a samurai with a sword, an iron knight that can climb walls, a hockey mask wearing character that throws axes, and even a tank that shoots skulls. There are nine different masks and you collect diamonds to power additional abilities.

6A mediocre platformer with varied character abilities and ugly graphics. The level design takes advantage of the different abilities but is generally quite boring.
