For Friday, I have decided to post two puzzle games involving lizards. They were created by students from Cornell University.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chameleon Catastrophe:
As Spry the Chameleon, you must save your home from the unnatural destruction of a nuclear power plant gone bad in a side-scrolling 2D action puzzle game. Change to four different colors, each with a special ability, that will help you progress through the game. Destroy your enemies and solve mind-bending puzzles to reach the core.
This game has an interesting concept and makes good use of powers in order to solve puzzles. It's a recommended download.

Geuka:
Geuka is a top-down puzzle/adventure game following the adventures of Charlie the Chameleon. The objective of the game is to move Charlie through each level in pursuit of the elusive butterfly and to avoid the predators that block your path. Charlie is able to influence the behavior of other creatures through his color-changing ability and by taking advantage of changes in behavior between day and night. Geuka combines elements of classic adventure games with real-time puzzle-solving and path-finding challenges in a bright and colorful game world.
This game has some interesting gameplay elements with colour changing to avoid enemies. Just a warning, some of the later levels are ridiculously difficult. It's a good thing that there is a level select feature that you can use if you get stuck.
