MECCHA CHAMELEON controls and setup checks

Controls matter because every awkward correction can reveal a Hider or waste a Seeker sweep. Treat your first match as a setup run, not a serious score attempt.

Updated 2026-06-13

Check controls in-game first

  • Open the settings menu before joining a serious room.
  • Confirm movement, camera, interact, paint, pose, and any reset/cancel actions.
  • Lower sensitivity if camera movement makes you overcorrect.
  • If using a controller, keep keyboard/mouse nearby until every action is mapped clearly.

Control skills that matter

Quiet repositioning

Move only when the Seeker focus is elsewhere, then stop before the room looks disturbed.

Camera discipline

Seekers should sweep slowly enough to compare repeated shapes and edges.

Fast recovery

Practice undoing a bad paint or pose choice without turning it into a panic run.

FAQ

Quick answers

Should I use keyboard or controller?

Use whichever gives you steadier camera control. Keyboard and mouse are the safest default, while controllers should be tested through Steam Input before a real room.
