I like your pixel art tho
With a little tweaking, it could make for a fun arcade game!
I think my biggest frustration came from my character's movement speed. Because the chameleon moved about as fast as a falling bug, if a bug ever passed my vertical position, it was practically guaranteed that I wouldn't be able to recover from it. In general this wouldn't be too big of an issue, but far too often I would find myself getting blocked off by a falling spike in a way that would make it impossible for me to get a fly, which would then mean that it would fall below me and make it unobtainable, which was annoying. :sweat_smile:
The rest of the game is very solid, design-wise, though! The spikes prevent players from just sticking their tongue out and waiting, and there's actual incentive to move up and down to collect them. If you just tweaked that ONE number that controls the vertical speed of the character, I think everything else in the game would click into place without any other changes. :smile:
Good job with this one!
