Canvaleon is a stealth platformer where the player must use the environment and its abilities to pass through enemies without being seen.

To do this, the player can use Camouflages (we call them "Camo" for short) to blend in with the stage; the more similar your skin colors are, the more "Camo Percentage" you will have. Depending on this percentage, the enemies will see you or not.

There are two ways to obtain camouflages: buying them in the store or painting them using the drawing tool. Either way requires the use of an in-game collectible: Colored Butterflies.
