The map recreates the kindergarten setting from Euphoric Brothers' Garten of Banban, where players explore a facility where children have gone missing. This is the second collaboration map for Meccha Chameleon, following a July 11 map based on YouTuber HIKAKIN. The update also adds controller support for all operations except UI, a Medium shadow quality setting, GPU performance improvements, a fix for brush movement speed varying with FPS when using a controller, a 3D eyedropper position fix, and security patches for MOD maps. Separately, Lemorion announced that Meccha Chameleon has surpassed 15 million copies sold since its June 10 release. To mark the milestone, the game is on sale at a 15% discount, bringing the price to 671 yen until August 3. The collaboration with Garten of Banban was teased on July 21 and went live over the weekend as anticipated.","whyItMatters":"The collaboration and sale show Lemorion sustaining momentum for a game that reached 15 million sales in just over a month by pairing frequent content updates with a discount window.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eEuphoric Brothers\u0026#39; original \u003cem\u003eGarten of Banban\u003c/em\u003e Chapter 1 is available for free on Steam.
