Look, let's be honest, the indie scene keeps throwing curveballs. 'MECCHA CHAMELEON', which dropped on June 9, has gate-crashed the charts to claim the second spot globally. It’s ditching the traditional hide-and-seek blueprint, and frankly, players are loving this fresh coat of paint amidst the usual heavy hitters.

The core loop is simple: you have your seekers and your hiders. The twist? You aren't morphing into a lamp or a chair here. Instead, you're using an in-game palette to paint your own character to blend into the environment. If you want to survive, you'll need both a keen eye for positioning and, surprisingly, a bit of artistic flair to master your camouflage.

As of the 11th, the Steam user reviews sit at 'Mostly Positive' (980 participants, 74% positive). The novelty of the painting mechanic is a hit, especially when you've got a full lobby. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows; the game is currently plagued by server woes like infinite loading screens and random crashes. Some players are also finding cheeky ways to ruin the fun, using glitches to clip into objects or just painting themselves pitch black and camping in corners, which rather defeats the spirit of the game.

Elsewhere on the charts, the Lethal Company-esque newcomer 'Gnome Gang' landed in 4th place after its June 10 launch. Meanwhile, the open-world witch adventure 'Witchspire' climbed to 5th, while 007 First Light and Gothic 1 Remake saw their momentum slip.

In the daily peak Concurrent Players top 20, Limbus Company surged to 14th place with 116,585 players following its latest content and character update. Destiny 2 dropped to 10th with 133,220 players—a decline of about 30,000 since its final content drop. Meanwhile, Taskbar Hero is knocking on the door of the 500,000 mark, currently sitting at over 490,000 players.
